Requesting new posting rule

Well, I just recently was involved in a scam on this forum from the member ReeferCheefer. I feel that this happens alot of this website. From my previous experience on many other auto forums, I feel like there is a small flaw in the classified system that does not give buyers the assurance that the seller is legitimate. To fix this, it is very simple.

IF YOU ARE SELLING A PRODUCT YOU MUST POST A PICTURE OF THE PRODUCT WITH A PIECE OF PAPER WITH YOUR USERNAME, THE DATE, AND THE NAME OF THE PRODUCT.

If you do not have this, tough luck, your posting will be deleted. This will bring some legitimacy to your post and help the buyer feel better about sending you money.

I feel like this step is completely necessary, especially on this forum, that seems to have such relaxed rules in regards to posting. I dont even know who my moderators are or else I would have sent this to them also, but, id also like to see the communities opinion on this rule.

He sent me a photo and seemed genuine. He needed to send my product to a verified address and such so I didnt question it. And I sent the money using my bank account and do not remember sending it as a gift. But, it is stating that I cannot file a claim because it wasnt purchased for a good or service. It is being resolved as we speak though
