    Hi DigitalPoint,

    I just wanna request you please enable paid posting on Buy, Sell and Trade forum. I think there are lots of scammers where they can easily enter to BST forum and just scam there and nothing else.

    My suggestion is, You can make separate forum on BST where only Premium member can enter. And no chance on getting scammers and else.

    I appreciated your action.

    SoftWall.

    Hmm good suggestion but don't you think that all new users are not scammer . If you feel too much insecure than don't trade with other members and only deal with premium members .

    That would suck for the honest people that can't afford to list their product/service for sale.
    It all comes down to good judgment. You have the ability to reject a bid and ultimately not do business with anyone you don't want to. It's common sense. Just look at their previous posts, look at their post count, look at their Itrader, etc.
    Also, scammers can afford premium. They're not all broke. If they're truly scammers, what's to stop them from using a hacked PayPal account to purchase their premium membership?
    Again, it all comes down to good judgment.

    Yes what I am telling is leave the buy sell ad trade same it is and just adding another section where premium member can access the forum.

    What would be the difference besides allowing only premium members access? If a premium member wants to purchase your service or product, or you only want to sell to premium members, there is nothing stopping you from doing so in the current BST sections.

    And how can you assure that Premium members will not scam others?

    Exactly. There is no need to fix what isn't broken.

    Because the premium member may be aware and may care the cost of their premium membership.

    Sorry but this is dumb, a scammer will gladly spend $25 to make $100. You don't have a premium membership, so how do we know you're not a scammer?

    Dude don't get you panties in a bunch, I was just giving an example of your "premium theory", you can't call people without premium accounts scammers if you don't have a premium account yourself... That's like the pot calling the kettle black....

    Anyways, looks like the mods didn't care too much about your "premium theory" lol
