Buyer-Only Contributions
- Only post if you are a verified buyer.
- If you have not personally used the service in question, you may not comment on its quality, performance, or reliability.
- Irrelevant or inappropriate posts should be reported to a moderator.
- Repeated violations or unreasonable behavior will lead to account suspension or a permanent ban.
Online Safety & Scam Prevention Policy
Approved Sales Threads
- Do not engage with or purchase from users who do not have a moderator-approved sales thread, especially if the thread is marked as “Advertising.”
- Report any suspicious or unapproved threads immediately.
Suspicious Offers
- Be wary of users who ask you to “PM for details.”
- Refusing to share basic information publicly is often a red flag.
Unrealistic Deals
- If an offer sounds too good to be true, it likely is. Use caution and common sense.
Signature Link Safety
- Exercise caution when clicking on signature links, particularly if the user does not have an approved advertising thread.
Payment Methods
- Use reversible payment methods (e.g., credit card with chargeback options) whenever possible.
- Avoid irreversible methods such as PayPal Friends & Family, Western Union, or Bitcoin unless you fully trust the provider.
Keep All Records
- Document all communications, including emails, chats, and instant messages. This may be essential if disputes arise.
Verify the Seller
- Perform due diligence: search the seller’s email, company name, and other identifying info to verify their legitimacy.
- Look for potential scam reports across other platforms.
Prohibited Services
- Do not promote or engage with threads, private messages, or signatures offering illegal or prohibited services.
- All users are responsible for conducting appropriate due diligence.
Review Seller History
- Investigate a seller’s previous posts and threads for signs of complaints or poor reviews.
- A clean record today does not guarantee reliability tomorrow.
Even Approved Sellers Require Caution
- An approved “Advertising” thread is not an endorsement.
- Sellers may begin legitimately but later become unreliable. Always verify before each transaction.
Full Contact Details
- Always request full contact information (business name, email, phone number, etc.).
- Avoid doing business exclusively via private messages. If things go wrong, disappearing is easy.
Drop Shipping Caution
- Be extremely careful with drop shipping offers. These carry additional risk and require thorough verification.
Trust, but Always Verify
- Do not rely solely on a user’s forum status, post count, or reputation.
- Apply all of the above precautions equally, regardless of user profile.
