We all know how the marketplace section is messed up every day by newbies creating daily new accounts for the intention of scam and also when one of their accounts gets red painted, they creates a new one. Maybe a criminal mind individual has tons of accounts. Aren't we unintentionally supporting this?

Why not create a system for newbies to pay a fee upon creating a sales thread specifically for Goods, Services, Lending, Auction, Currency exchange boards and Marketplace (alt)?
If possible, include Marketplace otherwise, they will start creating threads in this section.

Please share your opinions on this matter. I think a lot of criminal minds will run away and won't come back again.

I'm not sure if this topic has been discussed before. Please refer to that thread if it has been discussed. I will lock this thread immediately.

Bad idea, a criminal will never hesitate to pay a slight few if his/her intention is to scam people.
Newbies can never be trusted either they are allowed or not allowed to post in these sections.
And the most worst thing is that many scammers buy high ranked accounts to build trust so they can scam easily.

I once suggested to not allow newbies to create new threads other than beginners and help section but unfortunately it wasn't much apprecited.

We have seen a mess on the forum due to many similar and crap threads, what i have observed that most of these threads are started by "Brand New" and "Newbie" members.
Just a suggestion that if there would be some restrictions for "Newbie" and "Brand New" members that they can't start a new thread on the forum except "Beginners and Help" section then i think this will help to keep clean the forum.
Share your views about this. Thanks

Anyhow it's your own practice to investigate before dealing with these people.
