Fair size pond he has too
Being more serious, I think its about time that the people that just come on here to sell are dealt with
Firstly don't let the classifieds be available to lurkers, only registered users. Stops casual browsers just coming on here for a bargain and not contributing to other topIcs. also stops passers by finding it for a scamming opportunity
Next have a minimum post of 100 or more before you can start to sell,obviously needs be something other than everytime someone posts a pic of a bike, a reply saying "nice bike" so mods involved to check
Lastly a more rigid set of rules, such as need to give name,addresss and tel number before a sale is allowed (by email for obvious reasons)
All communication apart from the exchanging of personal/payment details to be shown on the thread for transparency
Anyone disobeying the rules to get banned and lifetime ban if trying to re-register or caught scamming
That's enough for a start, but all this dodgy dealing must stop soon, maybe begin afresh for the new year
