  • Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

New accounts should be unable to post ads until a certain # of posts are made.

I think this should be implemented because of the ease at which these scammers are able to make new accounts and continue attempting to scam people on this site. maybe its just my opinion, but right now its far too easy IMHO. At least this way, if there are Suspicious IP's being watched, or... whatever, it gives mods a chance to CATCH them screwing up if other ways are used to hide themselves.

Maybe 10-15 posts.... Its not unreasonable, and its still free.... Just think its something to think about in an attempt to keep this site safe from scammers.
 
This could easily just lead to a bunch of worthless "filler" posts until the required post number was reached.
