Does anybody else but me report classified ads that don’t meet posting guidelines?

“Rule #1 - Post a picture of the actual item you are selling (NO stock photos).
Rule #2 - The picture must include a REAL piece of paper with your Username and the Date written on it next to the product you are selling. NO photoshop or digitally edited photos are allowed.”

I have been cruising the Classifieds and reporting non-compliant ones, mostly for not having the hand written member name and date. Some had no pictures at all.

Maybe 1/3 of the ones in Wheels and Tires didn’t have the name and I reported them. One ad was two years old.

I think the ID tag is a great idea and I wish more forums utilized it. If my action got your ad deleted, suck it up and repost at least one pic with your name visible…

Isn’t there a forum moderator that should do this?

Full agreement.

The picture needs to be listed in the actual photo of the item for sale, not in a photo all to itself, if it‘s going to be effective. I've seen this a few times already.

If the seller doesn’t want to use PayPal goods and services, you’re literally tossing your hard earned money down the toilet.

I’ve been on enough forums to know, this is where money is lost by members to thieves. This is their target area on all forums.

Don't know if its happened here yet but it will. It’s just matter of time.

I was almost scammed by one ad, I don’t think it was the OP either. Report anything to the admin, they handled it quickly.

I would LOVE it if anybody even looked at my ad and commented on it! Been trying to sell my 2022 SCAB for a while now and not a single comment even...
