yeah give lifetime supporters more benefits

I wonder if there is a way to do verified account status like the blue check marks on twitter/Instagram? Might be a little extra trouble but its seems there are a few who enjoy doing faceless deals and some that dont.

You mean paying to be a supporter?

No I was thinking of some sort of vetting process an admin could do? A scammer might actualy pay a few bucks to swindle a lot more. Im just spitballing.

We’ve gone from CBD gummies to straight up ads for Rx drugs with no prescription

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to have a chat about "scammers" and hear suggestions/comments on what we can do to better combat them and keep folks from getting scammed.

I have a couple ideas, I'll start a little list and add anything that sounds promising.

- Thread or Forum where people can post the types of scams they are seeing
- Voting system where if a listing gets X amount of votes it gets pulled as a scam or spam. I can't allow the entire community to have this power or it would get abused, but maybe I could make it a lifetime supporter benefit or something. (We used to have a "Good Deal!" feature where everyone could vote on listings they considered a good deal, but it got abused and was used more ironically than anything, promoting more terrible deals than good ones.) (Side thought, a terrible deal feature could work as well. We could have "Today's Worst Deal" )

Things to look out for so far:
- Do not send money to anyone unless you are 100% sure of who they are. Check feedback, check posts, etc.

I had one just the other day in my pm’s which I did not reply to and yall were on top of it. It was gone within a matter of minutes. Kudos.

the vetting process is your feedback

I like both options. It allows everybody to have a say.

I like the idea as mentioned on page 1, of no buying or selling until:

- No buying- Until you have X number of posts (say 10), so this shows you are a participating and contributing member.
- No selling- Until you have at least 3 positive feedback from your purchases- shows you are an actual human being living in the state of GA and can functionally arrange with someone to meet.

NO selling allowed until 25 posts are made.

Wish you were closer.

Seems like the one scam I see the posted about the most recently are for the WTB section.

Therefore, eliminate the WTB thread...

I like the idea of a thread/forum just for scams.
