Just a few random thoughts.....
1) Make it a rule that any autographs you're trying to sell/trade MUST have pics/scans of them posted in the thread. Far too many threads have no pics, and members are saying (PM/email me for pics). The fact that these deals are being done in private worries me, as it implies that people are selling/trading FAKES. If they were authentic, why wouldnt they just post pics in the thread?
2) Activate the "Trusted autograph sellers, buyers & traders" group. The original intention of this group was that only members of the group could sell/trade. This idea seems to have been dropped, unfortunately. This group idea was a good idea in theory, so implement it. Only give access to the trade/sale forum to those in the group. It may not stop fraudsters completely, but it should cut the numbers at the very least.
3) Have some Moderators specific to the sale/trade forum. This would enable the obvious fraudsters threads to be removed ASAP. When someone is offering (for example) an "Authentic Johnny Depp signed index card" for $4, you know somethings wrong. But the inexperienced collectors will PM that guy immediately thinking they have a bargain.
Just some random thoughts, any opinions welcome.
