It's come to my attention that there has been a lot of scam sellers and people posting here with items that don't pertain to the community (see "UBCS lifetime account a few doors down). It would be sad if the buy/sell area becomes flooded with scum. Is there anyway to put a stop to this? I hope this isn't a new trend happening here.

I have some software that will block these annoying ads. You can buy it for $49.95 from my web site, www.spamextortionring.com and if you don't buy it, well, I can't be held responsible for what happens next.

Maybe moderate just his forum section?
If a coupla people would volunteer (I would, for one) the posts could be held until a moderator apporved them. Don't know if this is possible with this forum software, but I have the option on my Wordpress blog.
I think that if there were a few moderators, it would take away the inconvience for the sellers (if they need to dump something quick to pay the rent, for example!) and very quickly discourage any doofuses trying to sell R$o**lLEX or VXIXGXRGA.

I'd be down for helping moderate. But having every post needing approved is a little bit overkill. Very rarely do I see messages like what we've had lately, but it's easier to simply delete or close these threads than have to approve every one. We don't usually get a lot of them. We just need mods to keep on it when stuff like this happens.

We try to patrol those and nix them whenever we see 'em...
