I don’t mind that so much. It’s the ā€˜Precious gems from my collection’ type of bullshit that rankles with me.

The only thing worse than dealerscum is dealerscum pretending they ain’t dealerscum.

I might be more receptive to the sales-related horseshit if the seller at least had the decency to engage with some other horseshit in the general forum first.

Horseshit has its own etiquette, which must be adhered to. Or something.

Scammers should of course be strung up by the danglies.

I see that has actually just happened, which is nice.

The internet made everyone dealerscum about 20+ years ago. The worst of which also became ā€˜Experts’.

Minimum number of posts until you can post?
Put some off and others will just spam the forum.
But it will just blend in with the other guff?

I’m not a fan of a brand new poster going straight to the sell section.

I’m a member of an Audi A2 Club where one has to pay Ā£10 before selling bitand pieces. It is otherwise ā€˜free’ to use although we fo make contributions.

Would you have preferred Mince Pie Abattoir?

A more appropriate name, undoubtedly.

Pastry scammers though…

Following the next apocalypse perhaps something like…

Brown widows
Furious Pâté
Arguments
Crisis missmanagement
The nearly right Club TNRC sounds strange but somehow apt.
Jaded faded & right
Fucked Pizza Co
sour sound

Bile-o-phile
Pork scratching

Fucked feet

I’d say the answer to that is ā€œDespite our best effortsā€ā€¦

And because all other forums make them post-count-or-pay.


FWVLIW, I’m not ideologically opposed - more than happy for people to flog stuff for a living, it’s just the piss-take/sketchy nature of the drive-bys.

I’ll have a think about whether we need to actually have some sort of ā€œpolicyā€ in place. My general approach has always been pretty chilled as long as folks are being honest, and not posting overwhelming numbers of threads, but something at least vaguely outlined might help.

I recommend a policy that few understand and almost nobody could ever comply with.

I like it when they post and the attack giraffes are released.
Makes me smile, that does :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
