Mentioning no names, but if someone is only using the STW forums to buy the same thing constantly - phones for example - surely they should be asked to move on?!

A quick flick through peoples posting history gives you a pretty good idea as to whether they are bikers or not.

I know I sell and buy a few things that are nothing to do with bikes on here, but my primary interest is bikes.

What do you all think? Or am I being mean??

just about all your posts are in the classifieds... maybe you should spend more time on the proper forums before making new rules!

Worth policing? Lots of stuff like this goes on, mods are probably too busy.

😆

BTW if there buying and selling only phones on the site & have done it a 'lot' then report em, if you can be bothered, as there obviously trading (how many phones can one person need) and that against the current rules.

I have a feeling that the person your talking about probably just hasn't been offered the phone he wants for the price he wants to pay...but he's not giving up

What they need to do is stop stipulating paypal gift only - I don't do paypal so miss out on buying stuff quite often,

In the past it was a cheque or a couple of notes in an envelope - I just can't cope with the modern world.

This post is tongue in cheek - I realise it's my own fault but I wouldn't know where to start with paypal, although I seem to have some sort of account from buying something with my credit card via paypal.

I'd never report anyone
I've got this deep rooted moral issue with denouncing people
