New and renewed adverts without username & dates

[novioman]

Think the mods on here must be very patient people, the message to include username and date is so prominent on the forum yet new & renewed adverts keep appearing without them. Not sure how long there patience will last though. ??

 

[Cannonfodder]

Agreed. I would've just deleted them and booted repeat offenders

I love how you expect airsofters to pay attention 

Have you been to a game day before ?

I don't trust 90% of airsofters with shoelaces ?

My patience will last til Saturday probably, after that they'll just start disappearing........

In fairness I'm just being lazy with a couple of mine.

One thing I will say is, having timestamps makes selling a bit more difficult, as I use a lot of photos of stuff that I own...that's sat in my warehouse in Japan waiting to ship. I completely understand why it makes sense as a rule though

I'm taking that as a rule so I can start binning them too ?

Only 90%?  I only trust myself and my son and I am not entirely sure about either of us.

Members with 50+ positive feedback should get an exemption IMO.

There's been a few cases of members getting hacked & subsequently locked out of accounts, not many thankfully but enough to show it's a "thing", if that were to happen to a member with high feedback whos exempt from pics, what's to stop the hacker throwing up a few competively priced ads in the hope of a fast turnaround ?

Number of adverts on here have photos stolen and are appearing on airsoft hub, and the scammers are asking for ridiculous low prices to attract victims.

You're just showing off now ?

I'm in two minds over this. While stopping scammers is always a good thing, it shouldn't be up to this forum to police their shitty site

Agreed, but the fact it happens is just down to the fact that afuk has a lot of decent members who won't, or feel they can't, ignore this shit.

Which I agree is a good thing, afterall nobody wants to see innocent people getting scammed. I just get the impression that the mods there don't give a monkeys whether ads are legitimate or not

Which is why I don't use those kinda sites myself, mostly overpriced kit in ads that look like they were written by 9 year olds.

One rule for everyone, no exceptions.

A member who only comes on the forum to sell stuff should not be given preference over a member who actually engages with the forum but sells infrequently.  Single tier, simple.

And Martin Lewis appears in AI deepfakes because he's trustworthy.  That's not his problem to fix.
