Also, spammers do not equal scammers. There's a lot of people who are in a rush to gain selling privileges in order to offload some watches but don't have any plans to scam. On the other hand, there were several high-profile scams on rep forums which were orchestrated by high-post-count, long-standing members. So, one does not equal other. To be fair, however, it's safe to say that someone who's well known and invested a lot of time into the forum is less likely to scam you than a newcomer who just finished his quick run to the hundred post mark. Key word: less likely.

Common sense and luck. Rest is just semantics


Well said.
