| man with all these scamers and ish how are we car audio fanatics trade/buy new stuff to switch it up. we should get some stricter rules for it so that people will not regret doing buisness on such an amazing site.
I think we should for SURE have people post there name/date/site on their pics.....any one have any other suggestions? |

| It would be great to nail some of these POS but when purchasing from the classified section best to make sure they have lots of posts and a common fixture to this site with lots of active posting. | |

| Why not restrict the classified section to members with for example 200+ posts and 3 months? | |

| Perhaps, use the Itrader status, and the lenght of time the user has been online! I would volunteer to filter it better  (I clearly have nothing better to do) And Drew's IDea would be great, but I do feel for the newer users!!!

| minimum post count thing will eliminate a lot of new members (me for example) just because I'm new doesnt mean i should be treated like a scammer.
heres an idea, why not use some common sence when making a purchase online, wow, what a nifty concept, take responsibilities for your own actions...you take a chance, you pay the price......for example, i mailed that bassinyourface guy and something didnt click with his answer so i didnt buy the product!.......
......of course just my little humble opinion....oh wait, less than 50 posts....am i allowed an opionion yet???  |

| I would also like to see a scammer thread in this section. In it would be posted the offender, the offence and perhaps other relevant info like who was scammed. It is a read only format. A pm to a moderator with the proper info would be necessary and would be a fill in the blanks type of reply. This ideally will be a read only format, no flaming, no questions, just a profile build of how much scamming is really going on. This will open many peoples eyes as to how many site members are really being screwed over. | |

| In all honesty.. I see where you guys are going but in the end it's up to each person to do their homework on a deal and even then there are some risks involved.
Post count doesn't make you honest. Tenure doesn't make you honest.
As an FYI... these last 2 users, Fikingpin and BassInYourFace, were both the same user so having 1 person come on here and cause problems for the hundreds of other users who act in good faith on a daily basis may be a bit of a knee-jerk reaction. I also think that saying the classifieds section is going to shit based on 1 bad person is being a bit dramatic.
What's would have stopped him from spending a month or two whoring up the board to get his 200 posts only to then pull the same stunt?
In the end he's a few grand richer for a few hours of posting.

Will people actually read it and make sure that they're dealing with the right people though....
