The forum i'm a member of has had very few 'scammers' due to the trust popup, and the fact that you have to have a certain amount of posts before you are allowed access to the buy/sell forum.
If only high posters/timer served users were allowed access then i think there would be less chance of scamming going on,

well the latest person had over 800 posts so that kinda blows ur theory out of the water im afraid.

As far as I'm concerned this forum is for information exchange to provide technical info and advice for the various technologies covered, as well as the online commmunity aspects of course. The selling and buying is for the occasional trade between members and not the main purpose of the forum; we have the likes very well established sites like ebay for that with all the buyer protection etc that goes with it, funded by sellers fees.

We all just have to be vigilant and use COMMON SENSE when trading with other members, while the mods and brian will do our best to remove any obvious con merchants, the trickier so and so's will occasionally get through the net. If there are any doubts about a trade you have in mind, think twice before doiing it, as you trade at your own risk. There are people you can trust on here, and when you have been a member here for a while, you will get to know who yours are.
