    Default "Backdoor" Sales Threads

    Ive noticed an increasing number of threads started by individuals who dont meet the requirements to sell on RG, basically saying they want to sell their watch but dont have enough posts yet. My idea would be that when someone is found to be doing this, their PM capabilities are locked to prevent possible scamming of other members and to show these "lurkers" that they cant bypass the trade rules on Repgeek

    I went hardcore this week... gave 2 people 1 week bans for blatant backdoor sales. I guess you could say I went SFA on their a$$es!

    Agreed... We all had to pass through fire to get these priviliges... We all need to contribute before starting to sell.. This is not a dumping ground..

    Related trend is noobs spam reply to every thread with the same/meaningless comment to inflate post count. :eyeroll:

    At least its more difficult than the "GLWS" post on a sales thread...

    I saw Nembo nuke a guys count back down to 20 on the Breit section because he was inflating posts.

    I half expected my post count to magically become 6 or something like that

    Overall I think the mods do a nice job. Its hard to remember they don't get paid for their service...
