New 'For Sale' Suggestion
Hi,
To try and cut down on scammers i think we should have a new requirement for all for sale posts.
-They must include a self taken picture. In that picture there must be a peice of paper that has your online handle and current date written on it by hand. This will atleast prove people have the product they are selling and that its their own picture.
I know this wont prevent all scams, but it should help cut them down. I know forums where this is required and i dont hear nearly as many "stolen money" complaints.
Just a suggestion. The mods wouldnt have to search every post once people start following the rule and refuse to buy w/o the right information provided.

This doesn't stop fake tracking numbers and simply just not shipping. Wont help prevent much of anything and just make it harder to sell stuff.
