How about only paid supporters can post to sell?

Yeap, I agree with these two. We could take a page out of the long range hunting forum and require people to post pictures, with their username and a date or location or something writing in the picture as well. Not photoshopped, just written on a post it or something. It’s simple enough anyone here can do it, and I’ve yet to see a scammer post pictures of their own guns, so it should be much much easier to vet.
Give people one warning, after that start deleting their listings for not following rules.
Kind of related …..some scammers use the “must have a minimum number of posts required to purchase” as a way to scam buyers in auctions. Guy lists something. Says buyers with no feedback need to move on. You bid on his item. He uses a fake account with no feedback to outbid you. Then he cancels their bid because they broke a “rule.” Then you’re the high bidder again, but the seller now knows your max amount. He can then use a different account to bid right up to your max but with you winning. Hopefully that makes sense.

So, are we going to wait until we get someone killed at a FTF before we go back to a minimum post count and a contributing member, or will having scammers make the want ads unusable and having guns stolen at FTF sales be enough?

For every hour honest people spend sleeping, some SOAB stays awake 2 hours trying to figure out the best way to steal from them.
That’s the sense I get from all this sh*t.

Is there a way to add something to the server that only allows members with a certain post count, or only members who participated regularly to even see the classifieds? I’m not a computer guy. I’m certainly not tech savvy. But that may help.
We have a member that received a pm saying that he could get a discount on his yearly membership if he clicked on a link. Has anyone else gotten that pm?
Edit- it looks like an automated message. I’m checking with support to see for sure.
