[QUOTE="M Gravlee, post: 53646, member: 3"] Hi Michelle! The reason for the registration requirement for the Classifieds is to control spammers and scammers. You are I am sure familiar with the "Nigerian" scam where the scammer offers to send you a cashiers check for more than your purchase price and wants you to wire the difference to a friend for "shipping". Needless to say the check is forged and you would be out your hard earned money. Scammers usually won't register and can easily be blocked after one email if they do. Registration, like airport security checks, is just one of the things we have to put up with because not everybody in the world is nice. With the old ad software over half of the inquires about ads were scams. Now very few. We have had well over 600 new ads since August 16th. A substantial increase over the old ads. Also if you try the new "[b]Search[/b]" you will find it much easer to find what you are looking for, including how close they are to your ZIP code. Plus if you want to spend $15 your ad stays at the top of it's catagory and gets about 10 times the number of views. But I would like some other people's experiences with the new format, good and bad. [b]I can cut off the registration requirement for inquires if that's what Users want.[/b] [url]http://agads.net/[/url] [/QUOTE]
