Access to For Sale/Wanted Sections - Saxperience

Basically an idea I've been formulating is for Premium Members to have the same rules as the rest of use. 30 days and 100 posts.

Its come about due to the issues with member Kelynne_VTR who, it appears, is a know scammer (tisandy) but opens another account pays the £10 for Premium and has the opportunity to scam some more before people realise/find out who they are. Thanks to Peter_D for telling us all who it is.

Maybe allow them sooner access so not 100 post and 30 days, maybe less like 50 posts and 15 days? Still time to get to know them etc

Yes, that sounds good too. Just because the current system of instant access isn't deterring scammers who could easily make that £10 in one sale, grand scheme of things to them its nob all.

The reason the system is how it is, is due to paying to be a member means we get certain details which can be handed to the police if needed.

Thus there is extra security etc..

i think the rules should be kept how they are,
i just dont deal with people who have no itrader points/score and who barely uses/post's on the site,

if there is something i really want and they have no itrader points n so on i will travel to them, only if there local to stop any kinda spamming & me losing my cash

Didn't know about the extra security, cheers Ryan

how much extra security though?

i have a good idea, would be difficult to implement, but worth it.

basically send off to the address they give in their details a letter with a unique code (numbers/letters) they then have to come back on here and post up that code to gain access.

only problem being it's practically a job in itself that

Staff (more importantly simo) dont realisitically have time to deal with such a system, espec when hes out of the uk working. All you will get is people whinging why theyre still not premium much like they whinge when the stickers took more than 3 days to arrive.

Simply buyers need to be careful.

No system will ever be fool proof so they need to protect themselves as much as possible.
