Any way to block bad actors (e.g. "dincot") from posting irrelevant/scamming/damaging messages and links on the Forum?
Regardless, many thanks for all you moderators do.

#2One way that would help, I think, would be to require a persons first post to be moderated before it is posted. There have been a lot of probably scammers probing with single word posts lately.

#5I fully realize this isn't exactly ideal on how to block a user - but this works.

You can use these lists to organise other members of the board. Members added to your friends list will be listed within your User Control Panel for quick access to see their online status and to send them private messages. Subject to template support, posts from these users may also be highlighted. If you add a user to your foes list, any posts they make will be hidden by default.

#7I have some nice books on the classifieds and had an inquiry from someone with 0 (Zero) posts. I replied and the response was an offer for less money and they wanted my payment method preference? Scam - should I decline this to maintain a safe account?
Re: Bad Actors
#9Thank you Mark. I'd read about doing exactly that but was looking for an opinion as to whether or not it was spam, and I believe you answered that .
Will do.
