  • I've bought a lot of things at reasonable prices from good people who are new user#####s and would having this hassle of verification, despite making us safer from scams, end up with our classifieds being much quieter?

  • Quite possibly, but I think that's a price worth paying.

    On the one hand we might miss a few deals; on the other, people are getting ripped-off.

    I think the balance should be heavily in favour of protecting buyers, even to the extent of closing the classifieds altogether should that become necessary!

    It's not just the immediate financial loss, but getting fleeced can really knock people.

    And if people get ripped-off on here, then however unjustly, it reflects on lufgus as a whole.
