From now on we will require that a prefix is set for any items in the sales area. We have created regions and locations for this. We also require that you select a delivery option before posting your listing. This will hopefully help us streamline the things that get listed for sales here and help local people better advertise their items, especially for local only sales. New sales rules are also coming, so stay tuned.

Another user here was approached by user moetzmoet recently in regards to an item.
11 posts (fairly consistent I might add, so it all seemed genuine), then a PM asking to continue the deal off-site. Provided photos from an ebay listing. Guess who's back.
REMEMBER: DO NOT respond to users (especially newbies) asking to continue deals off-forum. There is absolutely no reason to do so.

That user has been banned.
Thanks for the information!
