about the scammer thing shifty,

if a scammer wanted to con loads of people to buy goods and not send
they're probably going to use paypal yes?

then whats £5 to join TMF+ going to impact the amount made conning people?

makes it abit more akward i guess, and TMF gets another £5 but doesnt actually solve the situation?
(or benifit the members much :))

Lol :xmas:



Sorry but I missed this!!

To answer..

In the event of a scam taking place we would have the offenders pay-pal details on file(from the TMF+ membership) also their name as well. Thats the start of a paper trail for the police.

Most scammers are looking for easy targets, paying the £5 over before you start is a hurdle that will stop them, hopefully they'll move onto an easier and free target.

yea this is just another example of a thread being taken out of context, dragged out and sidetracked away from the initial point.

and seemingly a waste of time.

fair enough
personally i think you should remove that hurdle and put a wall up lol!

the thing about the wanted ad's is a good idea too
say like 25post if there has to be a limit

but i guess you can only raise or lower the limit of an entire section?

so would have to be a entire new section for wanted?

The wanted section was included to deter timewasters as well. The post count means that you can look at your buyers post history, see if they have a habit of messing people around.

And thats my point, if they've only made 25 posts and been a member for a week, then theres very little to go on. You don't know who you're selling to.

true but say 70?
as thats abit too much to spam
and if they do spam that much then it draws the attention of everyone

as said many have been members for ages and havent cracked the 100 post barrier

I personally think that the 150 posts is fairly easily achievable, I can do that in a week easily!!

My view is that trading stuff on here is needs to be by enthusiasts for enthusiasts, items here are cheaper than fleabay(I sell my stuff here cheaper than I would on ebay)

To benefit from this, members should make a commitment to the site, either financial or by posting.

depends if you want 150 good points or rubbish that could class as spam. again, it goes on the individual. if i wanted to start a projects thread id need to get a few bits together first before start a thread on it. surely you cant say anyone with less than 150 posts isnt an enthusiast, and this place is meant to help owners.

No I can't say that anyone with less that 150 posts isn't an enthusiast, that not even close to what I said. My point is making a commitment the site, if you look at a buyers post history and all it is 150 posts of utter nonsense then you'd think twice about selling to them.

How do I know?

What I do know is that if you had made another 53 post I would have a better idea.

fail to believe that people will only sell to others purely on the basis of post count. you dont even know how many posts people have done anyway.
