What is it with "0" post user names in the classifieds??

[mjimport]

I have been getting multiple PM from users with 0 post count trying to "make a deal" but when asking for more info or someone to vouch for them, they disappear.

Anyone else getting this? Scammers?

[rcsoundn1]

yea its scammers, a lot of them out there so be real careful and do your research

Please report the usernames to us so we can do a ban and IP ban on them or look them up to see if they are even legit.

why don't we block people with 0 posts from sending PMs? heck, even a minimum of 5 posts would stop 99.9% of all spammers since few post more than twice.

I agree, and no new topics until 10 posts or something since that would be too much work for them

Isn't that how bfc is? That would definitely help the issue.

[JeLani]

they are no doubt scammers. but on an unrelated topic, what the hell are those people who make threads titled like 3 random words example : " suddenly with then " then its a bunch of links

[nando]

those are spammers of course.

50 post min or a month of membership to create threads and 10 posts to send PM. Maybe a week of membership and 10 post? Don't know, but it seems like we could weed out the spammers pretty fast with a policy like that.

The M3forum is that way, its 150 post or a year of membership in good standing to post parts for sale in the classifieds. They run a tight ship in the classifieds.

Yeah they do.

I think S14.net is the same way.

[Vincent Brick]

It sucks it has to be that way, I ended up with some random E36 and E39 parts I want to sell cheap but I have no way of letting anyone know I have them, so here they sit brand new in boxes taking up space on my table....

Hey man, asking for a ban of another member means you get banned. So, ban?

Right?
