I concur. Similiar like housing mortgage loan thread
here, where agents can post their notices there, and anyone can apply, request or report there, if they prefer to trust someone online (or not).
Bro, thank you for the support.
However, if ever my thread is approved later by
hye, agents cannot advertise, they can go to Notice Board. The purpose of my intended thread is to highlight
spammers/potential scammers/Forum Rule breakers in Credit Card Section but not to the extend we want them to be banned or warned like
here where Admin/Staff will take actions.Forum Rules and RegulationsDo not abuse the PM system. Do not send unsolicited messages, however well intentioned. A single PM is sufficient to constitute spam.
I will then compile the reports and summarize it in Post#1 for easy reference like my Suspicious Telephone Thread

I have see a lot of request from readers who post and ask for agents to contact them online and I don't tolerate such. I personally see it as an excuse of laziness wanting these agents to come to their feet and serve them on the pretext of convenience. (I think the LYN main mods are also upset with me on my trigger happy attitude for these posts as well ... hahaha) I'm not against it but I value personal information security even more - especially with what are the crimes around us these days. Such were less/unheard of a few years ago.
Let's hang on to that thought for a while. If the trend persist then by all means go ahead and hopefully it'll deter scammers from taking advantage of this forum to con people.
On one hand there's no way to authenticate claims and this can potentially be a very trashy thread as people can come in and say anything they like without any solid proof of their claims. And the other ... our social obligations to educate our readers.
I think you are doing the right thing by not allowing members to request agents to contact them here; and, it also prevent others from doing the same. But more importantly, your this said action is done for the benefit of the member (so that they are not taken advantage off in this CC Section) and I don't see why would anyone object to it.
Members and agents can go to the Notice Board Section if they want to be contacted.
If a member wants to report, they need to post screenshot as evidence. And yah, KIV that "future" thread, already too many thread to update anyway, haha.
