New Classifieds Requirement

[Bueller]

This isn't WFF, and WFF has a problem there with scammers. A one time donation of $5 is all it takes. You're not forced in to it to use the site, just put things up for sale.

This site costs us time and money to maintain and we do not run ads. WFF ran ads to make money (a lot more money than we do). We make enough to pay for our operating costs, and might have enough left over at the end of the year to give the three of us a small bonus for our time spent (which would be less than minimum wage).

We're operating this place on thin margins on this crazy idea that people value an ad-free, tracker-free, place that doesn't sell their data.

Can I put $.50 down and make monthly payments?

Great idea!

If that is not out in Crayon™ enough I don't know what is.

Can I change my name to "Nigerian Prince" when I'm ready to sell something? Great site and great way to slow down the scammers, or at least get some info on them!!

While this hasn't hit US yet, scammers are everywhere on these forums. We want to keep them out so nobody gets ripped off. We've been brainstorming on how to do this, and think we're finally there.

We plan to keep the 10 post minimum for someone to start making classifieds posts. Additionally, we will now require anyone who makes a classifieds post to be a forum supporter. We feel this is a small ask for someone to be able to use the classifieds. Since the core of the users here are already forum supporters, this won't affect many.

Our hope is this keeps the crooks, ebay store folks, and non-contributors from taking advantage of the classifieds resource.

OK that’s fair so I understand
I’d like to sell some things here,.so I need to pay a fee correct?
I’m having trouble finding the page that I can do that with so I wonder if you can tell me how to find the page where I can then make a payment to join the classifieds because from what I understand I cannot sell anything on the classifieds until I pay a fee to join them and then I will be a supporter correct?

I just came over from WFF. I’m support this idea. I’m lost. Can some tell me where the link to become a supporting member is?

Try that, its located in the "Your account" section, if the link doesnt work click your name -> account details -> account upgrades

Unfortunate that such steps are necessary but I appreciate the hard work you guys are doing to keep this forum problem free.

I too appreciate what you all are doing to help protect buyers (and sellers). There's been a rather interesting exchange on (WFF) the other site yesterday and this morning for a brand new R8 for $400.00....... total scam.

Thank you! And yeah, this isn't a perfect solution, but it's still a solution. Like we said before though, protection is part of the motivation, but not all of it. This place costs money to run, so we feel it's a fair deal to ask for support if you're going to make money in return.

Okay, Evan, but the account I can't log into and the one we haven't figured out how I could get back to - "Tinker" - is where I'm a forum supporter. Am I supposed to become a double-donor if I have something someone might want? Free Tinker! Free Tinker!
