feedback is pointless. they'd only need to sign up, make one 'sale' and do a runner with the money, even if its just 20quid...
A minimum post requirement is probably for the best, say 200posts. The site doesnt need randoms signing up JUST to sell something.

200 posts?
I bet I hadn't made that many posts in the first 3 years I was on here.
Lets be honest, nothing is perfect. The fact this thread cropped up shows that people are looking out for other members. Sometimes too much 'protection' means people let their guard drop. The more you put in place to stop a scammer the more ground work they will put in.
Be thankful that this site has a fantastic owner who puts in his own time to help stop people being shafted. Many sites do not have that.

I bet they are scouse!
He said he was in Scotland in one of the threads, Southampton in a private message and provided an address in Leeds for delivery of stuff he's bought as jonnywsport.
Got full postal address, a few email addresses which I'll cross-reference across the rest of the data which may yeild a few phone numbers or something. So we're not in the worse position if he turns sour.
Warning is on anyway so that shouldn't be an issue unless anyone is particularly silly.
I didn't say where he was posting from, I said what they would sound like.
He will sound like a bin-dipper!
EDIT: By scouse I mean Everton. Not pretend scouse, Tranmere. Or wannabe scouse - Liverpool/Chester.

What the fuck are you chatting
Chester people do not even like to be associated as scousers and people of the Wirral hate the fact the have an 0151 phone number... Get your facts right
Nothing against those on here from Chester but i'd never work there again with a bunch of stuck up snobs...

That does annoy me. If they want offers, stick it on eBay.
