Hey,
I've noticed that a lot of new members are making self-moderated threads in the marketplace section.
It seems as if these new members are looking to make a quick buck by offering a non existent good or service. In other words they're trying to pull off a feeble scam attempt.
The biggest issue with this is that every time you post to alert others of the possibil scam (without making an accusation thread as there is no evidence) the OP just deletes your post.
Leaving negative feedback isn't the best of ideas either as it'll ultimately lead to abuse of the trust system.

Having worked with SMF in the past I know that certain restrictions can be placed on user groups and boards. What do you think about the idea of disabling the self moderated thread option for new members? Even if this wasn't just limited to the marketplace section I think it could be beneficial overall.

What are your thoughts?
