Agree
Let's keep this on the front page, until they (mods, theymos, etc...) do something about it.
I also agree it is not necessary to self moderate a group buy thread in my view.
Perhaps to restrict self-moderated threads to Members/Jr Members level and above, feed the newbies threads to the trolls for experience.
It is very unlikely that >members will organize a scam on there account.

I agree. I really see no need to let a person be able to self moderate a GB or sales post. Other sections I can understand the purpose, but for sales pages I do not understand.
Im sure there is a reason for letting sellers do this, I just do see one at the moment.

Sure, to stop the trolls. Same people make new accounts over and over just to troll, because they can.
This is way less of a problem than the thieves who are using self moderated threads to rip people off.
agree!
I agree. I didnt even know for the longest time you could do self moderated threads.
Indeed, I didn't know that either... So hope this will be made impossible soon!

Scammers on the Group Buys subforum are using Self-Moderated threads to their advantage, that's why we need the get the Operator, theymos, to disallow at least noob/jr members from posting them.
whats this got to do with "group buy" section ?
here are the most scams happening. 
whats this got to do with "group buy" section ?
So, the way I see it, we are allowing Self-Moderated threads here to prevent trolling?
Simple fact is that scammers using Self-Moderated threads to their advantage and to lure innocents people in.
Which is a bigger evil, trolling or scamming?
STOP THE F*CKING SELF-MODERATED THREADS AT GROUP BUYS NOW!

Sure, to stop the trolls. Same people make new accounts over and over just to troll, because they can.i believe, people are smart enough to recognize a fresh-regged single-digit-activity account just trolling
especially when the seller takes the time to qoute and disarm these posts, also reporting to moderators
dunno if smf has that feature, but i know other baords give the op to flag posts as spam
these arent deleted then but just hidden and can be shown by clicking on them
combine this with a min posts and min days registered to post permission for all marketplace boards,
and you greatly solve the spam/troll problem without giving scam ops the chance to censor or disguise
That's not my quote BTW.
And no, greed blinds people some to the point of being ludicrous.
