When someone joins or attepts to join the forum either Guth, Cormanus or myself have to approve them. You wouldn't believe how many scammers try and join just to advertise something.
When I see a newest member name on the opening page I don't recognize I immediately click on that name to see what their story is.
Today there was a new name
Latest member: aliyulawal
So when I click on him, there is nothing out of ordinary in his bio (which is where spammers like to put their little advertisements). So I look at where they are from Nigeria. Wow we don't get many Nigerians on the forum. I looked to see how much time he has spent online on the forum.
Usually it might be 3 or 4 minutes, but I have also seen 3 days 11 hours and 45 minutes (example)
But aliyulawal spent..ready?
3 SECONDS lol ..... 3 SECONDS! He joined to spend 3 whole seconds checking out the forum.
If he comes back and wants to buy your bike, but he needs to send you twice what you want for it, if you'll just get a money order and send it to him for the difference. Don't say I didn't warn you lol.
