Classifieds

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.

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 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!

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?

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