Maybe, a simple automatic reply to the WANTED thread that is already written/cant be changed by yourself that just says something like 'Im interested, Please PM me your contact number.'

Or something?

solves you replying to PMs if you dont have 150 posts, yet gets contact number accross?

I think that its fairly obvious if your getting done,
I recieved these two PM's last week, needless to say, I didnt take the offer!






There is not alot that can really be done to stop this happening, BUT as has been mentioned, if you stick to the rules (IE: dont carry out a sale through PM) then you're safe! Its pretty clear that this guy was full of bull, at the time he messaged me, he had 1 post!

well I think this sucks tbh Im a new member and defo not a scammer. what if I wanted to sell somthing but noone is asking for it in the wanted section. also if i dont do alot of buying and selling on here just the odd bit and only come on for info and help how am I ament to get feedback. or even get 150 posts. most of the info I need is doted around on the site so there no need to create a thread.

how does the feedback thing work anyway? is it like ebay ? wen u buy and sell you leave feedback. or can u give someone feedback for giving you good info and being helpfull in solving a problem?

thanks sorry for the rant.

p.s. I will read the rules

the 150 post rule is about the only thing we can do to TRY and stop as many people scammimg as possible. what's stopping any tom, dick or harry signing up just to make a load of fake sales ads? 150 posts

if you have things to sell- ebay is your friend, post links to ebay in the relevant section until you reach 150 posts

feedback works exactly the same as ebay too


if you'd already read the rules youd know all of this

muchos gracias

The rules are there to offer a modicum of protection and stop people coming on, trying to sell/scam without giving any input to the site otherwise it would just be a free for all of people selling and scamming would massively increase

I totally agree with you, i joined last year but never really used the forum but i have recently become active, i am wanting to post my bike on the sales section just to generaly see how it is worth and if i get the right offer i would take it, but i would want cash on collection or money through paypal. Basically to cut the story short i dont think its fair on the genuine people like myself to not be able to sell our items on this forum

exactly the same for me but if you are genuine and reay want to use this site rather than take advantage you will get te 150 post and use it how it was meant to be used

took me a while but whilt gettin there i learnt more and built a rapport with the day to day users
