Weed out the scum bags

[d500lnn]

There are far too many scammers these days. A good buddy got bit today by one of these scammers and simply asked if anyone knew him. He got a warning and the post was deleted. Why would you delete a post warning people of this trader being a scumbag? That makes zero sense. Looks like the admin would want a healthy site. It appears we need to follow the money to see why this site is suffering for quality people. Concerned long time member

That's what the feedback system is for, public callouts are not allowed.

There are definitely a ton of scammers on here. The question is , how many people have been scammed by a member with a bunch of feedback, whom they spoke with on the phone, met in person, in a public place? Or, is it all people sending money to a stranger who is new to the Forum and offering something for a suspiciously low price? I'm not condoning scammers, obviously. But, a little bit of Common Sense, education, and checking sellers out would probably go a long way towards reducing how many are on here.. if you don't pay, they don't play

serious question. How is the feedback system not a callout. Also, if it isn't a callout how can referring to ones feedback be a callout when that's its intended purpose.

Did he send money to someone or get ripped off thru a face to face deal ?

If you follow the rules for using the feedback system (deal confirmed in PM) it can be verified by a moderator. It's not much, but it's what we have and it works for the most part. Posting in a public thread is always a train wreck of unverifiable info and accusations, and uninformed input from bystanders (just like this thread).
