To all newbies posting here. A simple request. Second try.

Don’t lock the thread and give a link to an outside place to do sale.

I will tag thread.

Reason is simple scamming is too easy to do if you do this way of sales.

If I tagged you for newbie locked thread and offsite link I will remove the negative tag if you unlock the thread.

Note I locked first thread.

As I wanted to direct my request to new sellers.

So this is self modded. This is meant to curtail newbies from posting  in marketplace with a locked thread. it you post a locked thread. I will tag you.

Basically as a newbie with 1 post for a sale directed to an outside link there is no chance for a buyer to take precautions.

I will delete  any mention of anything not directed to newbie locked threads.

I like whyFly and he posted in my other thread about established sellers locking threads.

While he may be correct about bigger established sellers

 I am using this thread to talk about newbies.

the two threads above were newbie I tagged them negative.


I am aware that older more established seller practice this  thread locking.
I am not using this thread  to talk about them.
If they are good or bad then people can mention what they did good or bad in another topic not here Nuff said





to the two newbies simply unlock the threads and I will remove my negative tag.

Can anyone tag a newbie that's locking threads and trying to deal outside of the forum via email/telegram??

[wndsnb]

Newbies are restricted in other ways, why not just add locking of marketplace threads to the list? It would give established members opportunity to comment on obviously scammy posts so other legit newbies aren't scammed.

Phillip I fully understand and agree with you because of the amount of scammers around.
But if that's an option from the forum, why would someone should receive any kind of infraction using it?
I don't have sales thread and I do not plan to open one, that's just my 2 cents.
We can't blame everyone without knowledge about the forum or because they using option which the forum provide just because most of them are scammers.
I do not protect anyone, I just don't find your idea as something which will fix the problem or help the community.

Well you can sell and buy an account it is allowed  and it will get tagged by many people if found out.
I disagree with that since the forum allows the sale.

But this section is filled with thieves.

A new poster  is allowed to self mod the thread so it is more then enough flexibility for the one post member to keep the thread clean from a troll.

I would agree with you if some of the newbies  did remove the locked thread.  None of them do.  That should tell you they are a scammer right there. Since the requirement is easy to fix.

Instead  more then one of them simply  excluded me  from their custom trust list.  which  hides the neg a little.
Once again showing the 1 post guy's intent to steal.
Frankly I kind of gave up in this section.

 I got doxxed from doing escrows and offering to stop scams here.  My name address and phone number has been published on buybuyer . com   I have been harassed for over a year about providing escrows.  I pretty much leave this section alone.  But your comment caught my eye.

If you notice I have not tagged anyone in a while .

@ gt_addict yes  you can tag  a newbie if you want.  Just be careful about  your identity  since I am pretty sure  I was doxxed  over this trhead or over offering to receive and demo suspect gear.
