Marketplace Irony

Hiserman79 · May 1, 2017

I exposed a scammer, then those that also where also targets of the scam jumped in and together we totally exposed the guy. I added up over 3 grand in PayPal reverse payments. Now due to this scam and my attempt to help others new rules are in place and I can't even comment on my own post that exposed the scam. Just 40 more post I can join the cool kids. Like they say no good deed goes unpunished.

At least you got refunded and helped others as well.

Yeah I understand the moderators did what they felt would best benefit the group. Just means I got bunches of participating to do.

Moderators can't see everything bad going on here, it's up to us to be vigilant and report all suspected post. I hit that report button as often as I see due fit. Maybe sometimes I'm paranoid but so far 7 for 7.

That sucks. I think 10 non-spam posts would have been fine.

Hiserman79 · May 1, 2017

It was a big scam involving at least 10 members being taken for a ride. There was many more almost sucked it when it came out. Multiple post under different user names using several pay pal accounts and even pre paid burner phones. However the dumbass used legit info as well easily got tracked down. I don't blame the mods maybe a bit of over kill but they had to start somewhere and with the scope of the scam I don't blame em for starting big.

Just means some of us gotta step up our game and get the post count up. However the irony for me is I would like to reply to my own post in marketplace that warned them of the scam and can't

First of all, thanks for exposing the guy and his 2 accounts.

You and I both know that the rules were not meant to punish you, or any other low post count member. It was one jackass that made it difficult for everyone.

I completely understand why it was done no hard feelings what so ever regarding it. I want the entire forum as secure as possible. Glad we all got the guy exposed before it really got nuts.

then you can look down a couple of pages at all of the bogus listings.

I will chime in and add that while I understand what the mods are trying to do I believe that the 100 post limits that this and several forms have instated is too high, I can understand a 20 or even 50 but 100 is too much. I say this because I generally do not to have the time to just browse and post about a bunch of stuff I tend to only post If I need advice or an pinion or can offer advice for someone as a result 100 posts can take me a year or two to get to.

I agree as well. 100 is just too many. I have been here for over a year and I don't have any where near that. Most of the questions I have I search and find what I'm looking for so I don't post often at all. Sucks that crappy people have to ruin it for the good ones.
