Yes. It pops up for all admin that wayJust out of curiosity, is the “Report” button the best way to report potential scams?
The catch is that the ranch is in India.Do we know the Lisa one was a scam account? What if she was just looking for a hunter to keep her warm at night on her 2000 acre wooded ranch that holds 200" plus deer?

That has always been the nature of life. A few ruin things for the many. Archery Talk went to a minimum post count and time of membership before a new member could access the Classifieds. But scammers seem to always find a 'back door' where they bypass the site policies for their own nasty ends. It's sad that anyone would do these kinds of things to another, but especially so on a hunting forum where we are commonly united in a similar style of life.It's a good rule of thumb but we can't enforce it when someone posts a WTB add. That is how they guys are working, they are seeing people's WTB adds and just contacting them privately. Any ideas we've come up with to stop them so far would negatively affect the rest of the users of the site which outnumber the few scammers we've had. If this continues though we will have to take some more actions to try to limit them.
(a) requiring a minimum of, say, 3 posts for new users is a good idea to me (I've been on other forums that do this). You always catch them before they can attempt to scam people because they will always post 3 quick replies to threads in succession all saying the same stupid irrelevant thing like "Good idea!" or "I like that!" or "Thanks for posting". You can smell them from a mile away really quick before they start with the annoying spam solicitations, and they announce themselves in public (more eyes on them means quicker someone can report them - if they are able to immediately start sending PMs in private, the less opportunity they expose themselves to the wider audience).
(b) Anyway we can flood their email accounts with garbage anonymous emails?
(c) kinda disappointed I didn't get a PM from Lisa. I must be really ugly?![]()
Does Lisa have an OnlyFans? Asking for a friend. =-P(a) requiring a minimum of, say, 3 posts for new users is a good idea to me (I've been on other forums that do this).
