By chance I clicked on this thread and wow, you quoted something I said TWO years ago! I find that rather ammusing laugh.gif

Anyway, to those saying that the mods/admin aren't taking a more active role etc etc blah blah blah, do note that this is a TECH forum to discus TECH-y things with the purpose of sharing/discussing information. The garage sales is just a side thingy. Let us not lose track of the main purpose of this forum. LYN is not Lelong, not eBay or whatever other online auction/buy sell site.

We're an online community that love techie stuff and discuss techie stuff. From the computer and it's peripherals to the mobile phones and it's many accessories. So yes, I reiterate by saying "Let us not forget what LYN stands for".

Considering what the mods and admins have done to keep trade safe here, we should be congratulating and thanking them instead. Most of those in charge don't even get payed to do all this. They're just lending a helping hand. What do we repay them with? Saying they're not doing their job and calling them names. I notice one particular attention whore who posts useless crap in the forum (with the pretense of "sharing" information) and berates the moderator for enforcing the rules which he violated. Show some manners people!

But I digress. It's cool to discuss ideas, but let's not tax the mods/admins/staff eh? They've done a great job as it is. Let's discuss constructive things. Don't just diss them.

Then again, I'm sure my post would neither be read nor acknowledge but instead be pushed up by ignorant spams of

"Lelong is better!"
"Why don't the mods do something!"
"Let's just do away with the forum concept and start a lelong-look-alike!"

etc etc.

Sigh. What happened to this forum?

just wanna highlight a few thing.yes ,lowyat once an online technical community and still are but now the purpose is expanded to online trading.so why dun we all try to make it safe for all online trading bcoz of its potential.rating as lelong? maybe not but at least make the topic post at garage sale count.it is a pity for those that only active in garage sale but their topic post do not count.why??i think the topic post should be count in garage sale also.not the post reply,only the topic post.hav ppl that were very genuine in online trading but their title still newbie or regular although they already post many topics.this way can built buyer confident to trade with them.just my 2cent only.really hope lowayt can be much better palce for online trading thumbup.gif .

You guys will have to understand, doing that will only make lowyat.net lose its focus as a forum. Yea, its nice to hv tht kinda security bt remember, cost will also be involved. Do you expect the owner of LYN forum to pay for everything?
Precautions one can take includes; checking the seller's post count and studying their deal. See their topics started and their posts. Also see if they request for a COD or postage. Be safe and think wisely. Dont let cheap deals cloud your judgement. I won't say this would eliminate cheats in LYN forum but at least it will bring the count down.
Most conmen have their post count lesser than 50, most of the time 0 and they prefer to deal through postage. I remember one of the moderators advicing us to be extra careful when dealing with this ppl but some forummers are still dealing with them.
