Something I thought about

We seem to be getting a few spammers who only post a car for sale and leave, on my s10 forum they have a rule you need so many posts before posting something for sale. just a thought I figured I'd through out and see what you guys thought of it

i agree, but it'll just cause them to spam the x amount of posts until they can post their sale.
that or it'll keep them from joining.
but it is a good rule i think.

I'll see what I need to do to make that work. I know at LS1Tech you need either so many posts or have been a member for so long before you can do it.

On one board, you had to post in an introduction section... truthfully just having like 5 posts is all it would take to probably turn people off from just spamming to post a for sale. most people wont want to go through the hassle.

That's not a bad idea as well. I'm going through vBulletin right now trying to figure out how the change the permissions to do this.

it wouldn't bother me so much if the people wouldn't say email me because I never check here, that's like a customer comming to me asking for all my knowledge on a tv and saying but I won't buy from you no matter what

Agreed.

But on the other hand, uf the seller is legit, it gives us here, who rarely check anywhere else the opportunity to buy things we might not otherwise.

People are gonna scam people no matter what they do. Just look what Mike did to me.

A mix up that has yet to be resolved...Unless you consider $1000 for a used Borla catback ONLY a good deal.

I assume...There could be more going on though, because he stopped answering my phone calls a while back.

Speaking of this whole situation..Adam just told me that Mike said he sent me the headers and everything was all ironed out. Mike told me, that he bent the headers and was gonna send me a Y-pipe and $300 back for this incident.

What a friggin scammer.
