novioman Posted December 2 Share Posted December 2 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. 🤬🤬 Galvatron and Cannonfodder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenJackson Posted December 2 Share Posted December 2 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 Tackle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ? novioman, Galvatron, Tommikka and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novioman Posted December 3 Author Share Posted December 3 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.

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 Rogerborg, Tackle, Galvatron and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tackle Posted December 3 Moderators Share Posted December 3 1 hour ago, Cannonfodder said: 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. novioman and Cannonfodder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Tackle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Rogerborg, DanBow, Galvatron and 8 others 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe worthwhile considering requiring 2FA for access to marketplace, as it could be enough of a deterrence for scammers to not bother (would also make identifying repeat offenders easier theoretically).
