why not, when members join, get there address verified, copy of current utility bill/creditcard statement, etc. then you have a verified address at time of Selling. then if goes pear shaped they is some proof to pass to the police etc..

Why should we? I don't get paid to chase this sh*t up and I sure as hell ain't doing a f*ckton more admin for it.

come on guys, its hardly difficult to get to 20 posts without spamming. As Dusty says they could just remove the classifieds.
Just be happy that we have this forum and follow the rules. By the end of this conversation that is going round and round in circles you'll all have enough posts anyway!

...always something to moan about.

Rules are a part of daily life and the forum rules are here for a good reason

Suck it up and deal with it... or find another place to buy and sell

Am I right in thinking that all the issues have been with kids (under 18 year olds)? If so maybe put an age restriction in.,, if someone younger wants to trade they need there parents to do it or if they want to sell need to find an older paintballer who can do it on there behalf? (granted putting an age restriction in means more work for the mods and I know all the younger ones will have a moan at the suggestion but still... worth a thought

for people who just wanna come to a forum to get a quick easy buy a post limit is a deterent, however a post limit makes sense for reasons its in place. speaking of which till i post this i have no idea how many i have lol. and vouches i see the plus points, but if you dont know people there then they miht just get a mate to make a profile and do a vouch etc

however a possible simple solution to selling stuff could be what i do, post proof of the dispatch. picture of the recipt and a named bit of paper dated etc, it will clearly show times of postage where from n so on. or make it a requirement that all posted items are tracked?

just a thought

Thats not a bad idea really, though how can they validate who is and who isnt!?

i am prepared to give/send Mods copy of my address details to prove that i am a genuine seller. all i am asking is to be able to sell my gear. i am not asking a lot.

other forum that i use, for my trade, i have had to prove that i am qualified, and prove my address, for verification purposes, that involved sening a copy of utility bill dated within last 3 mths.
