In an effort to deter scammers we are going to implement a 5 day and 5 post minimum to access the classifieds. This is sort of a "testing phase" and if changes need to be made to the timeframe and post minimum it can be done. As the members of this forum if you feel someone is scamming people or acting "shady" please notify someone from the site staff.

 

Thank you, hopefully we could get rid some of these scammers

 

Excellent idea! I love it when forums do this except usually it is 50 posts minimum.

 

It may change. We will see how it goes. Your feedback will help determine if changes are needed.

 

5days is kinda short =p
30days ^_^

 

Ya more time and more posts

 

def. more time and posts id say 30 days and 100 posts

 

also people should ALWAYS leave an i-trader feedback. if a deal goes sour? thats your chance to let the css world know.

thanks black ss/06!

 

Definitely up the time and post count needed. 30 days and 50 posts is too much effort for most scammers.

 

I agree with a 30 day probation period as well.

Also, itrader feedback helps.

 

Yea I agree that it should be about 30 days. I would say a minimum of 50 posts, I think 100 would be way too much because some people have been members for a long time but honestly don't post alot.

 

i agree id do like a 50 post and 30 days ive been a member for a lil while but havent posted much i do more just searching and using previous threads to fulfill my answers. i do post alot on my diesel fourm just dont here so much just more into reading others posts

 

yeah, feedback should really be encouraged. ive bought/sold well over a dozen times and only 3 people left feedback

 

I always require them to send feedback, and if they don't I remind them until they do

 

I say more on the minimums as well...my friends on other forums have like a 60 day/50 post/10 dollar donation to the website to even view the Classifieds. Personally love this idea tho!

 

I agree with everyone else. Up the minimums

 

the feedback never works for me....tried to give fb to the people who have bought/sold with and fill it out submit it but it never processes lol

 

We will see how it goes. You have to remember some people might join the forum to buy something from the classifieds. It's not really fair for someone acting in good faith to have to wait an extended period of time.

I have never had issues. How many times has this happened to you?

 

ditto

 

Geez now its look like im gonna have to quit reading and start posting before tax time.I just figured if I don't have any informative info ill be quiet.I can certainly see the forums getting crowded with alot of low iq trash.god I hope this dosent end up like the mazda speed forums.

 

Lol I will buy in though this site has been quite helpful and informative for me.

 

I am apart of the Mazdaspeed forums too haha and while there is a lot of BS talk and crowding (and they have a chat function grrr) they dont have NEARLY as many scammers. They have the minimum post rule, minumum time rule, or you can donate. Along with those they require pics of the items you selling with a visible piece of paper with the sellers forum name, date and the forums name.

 

I guess you gotta take the good with the bad sometimes.lol bring on the bs.

 

Every time I tried, about 3 or so different people. At first I thought it was because I didn't put a thread link but it didn't work after that either and every box was filled out so idk.

 

Sounds like a good plan. I like it.
