Maybe there could be some sort of approval process to go through in order to become eligible to post on Classifieds.

I thought there was an approval process already.
A person has to have a minimum of posts, forgot how many, before posting things for sale.

I would suggest littercy and a minimum of six different photos, also in large format
Scammers ruined it for other new people. If you want to make cash off us, you have to talk with us some.
What would you suggest that would be fair, easily verified, minimal work for our all volunteer staff, and could not be compromised by scammers?

You need 10 posts in regular forum before you can post to classifieds

Without building a much more comprehensive classified system (reviews, history, etc), it would be difficult to really weed out every last scammer. People need to do a certain amount of due-diligence, such as look at post-history or past sales, or only doing small purchases from relatively unknown people. There have been several dive-computers I've passed on due to the poster having minimal history.
I recently bought a GoPro from someone who isn't that active on these forums. Luckily they were local, so I was able to examine it in person and pay with cash.
edit: I see you have almost no posts on this community. So, it seems like you're suggesting being able to post classifieds even without participating in the community. You can perhaps see the above where I point out we don't know you from anywhere. You may be an okay person, but how do we know you're any different from the occasional scammer that pops up? Whatever review system you may be suggesting would be far more effort on the moderator's part, than it would be for you to participate in the community. Moderators would also have to do this for dozens or hundreds each month which would make that very time-consuming.
