I don't want to sound discriminatory, but perhaps some policy is in order, such that one must amass a certain number of posts before being able to list something FS. Just so he/she isn't a complete unknown.

 

This annoys the living daylights in to me.... all they have to do is reach that post count and its lifted, then they can post their 'fakes' etc kinda defeats the object. Remember a forum has 'lurkers' who then register and don't post all the time, then the time comes where they want to list something and they cannot.

The main thing i have noticed on here as opposed to other well known forums is that every member is looking out for one another preventing the possible purchase of a dud.

I also find that the members on here are way more welcoming

SUGGESTION:

How about a new post area just for duds with categories for the Omega models so if its a seamster you post the watch name as it is being sold and the link as opposed to just a link from eBay etc. Almost like a reference library of duds. For other brands like Rolex etc you can simply just do the same minus the different model sub categories. That way someone who thinks a watch on eBay could be dud, list the seller, the link and the model so if you do want to look through to see if a watch is fake you can see the link and all the information there.

so for example..

OMEGA:

Seamaster
Speedmaster
DeVille
Constellation
Vintage
Other (for Dynamic, Railmaster, Flightmaster etc.

Thoughts?

 

it surly can't be that much work!? Set up the threads and let the members post it's no different to a member posting as the do now just in any other category.

 

I don't mind it in principle the trouble is you end up with new members complaining they cant list a watch, then they make 30 "nice watch" posts in random threads to meet their quota.

 

Yes, I once made 17 contributing posts on a forum over a period of respectable time and then posted a good deal on a mint watch. It was yanked immediately and I was told sorry, I needed 20 posts. I never went back there again.

 

Cut you he will.

 

Is that an Aussie joke?
After many weeks if you must know, plus it was a new forum.
