Following the recent debacle with fishkeeper.com and a recent upsurge in new users registering and then advertising things for sale the same day, often just with links to promote their eBay auctions or even worse auction sections of other forums, I propose that you should have to have some kind of qualification to advertise for sale on TFF.
Either something like, been a member for at least 2 months or having a post count of say 50 or more to allow you to add a new post to the buy, sell swap section. This way only regular users of the forum have the privilege of selling via the forum to the forums members. After all this will help protect the forums members from scumbags trying to fleece them. Of course being a member for a while or spamming 50 posts wont guarantee anything, but it will stop those looking for a quick buck.
