Make it that you pay $25 a year to post in the sale/wanted. Only serious people will pay. And it helps pay for the forum
No pm’s for new members. Why would a new member want to
pm someone.

This **** knocker used E-Mail function to send messages; and, evidently no PMs. As a reminder every member has the opportunity to NOT ALLOW E-Mail subscriptions. This may or may not be a hindrance to some members; yet, it does provide some safeguard to assist in thwarting off these douche nozzles.

In your Control Panel>Settings & Options>Edit Options>Edit Email Subscriptions, uncheck/disable.

What makes you think he’s a scammer? So far he’s only responded as needing items.

Well, the email fits the profile in my opinion - He references another person to contact. He hasn't posted anything. He has a UK email.
