Date stamp pic

Date on the date stamp pic must match the date of the thread. Yours is off by about a month.

It was obviously a repost by the same member.

Is there a way we can credit an earlier ad?… i.e. “Reposted from (date) or link to old thread.” This paper/date business is a micromanaging hassle (for members & mods alike)… should make it more efficient, while achieving the overall goal.

Effective immediately we are implementing two new rules to help curb scams and dishonest behavior in the Exchange

1. All for sale threads must contain a picture of the knife or item with a note showing the username of the seller, the date the thread is being made, and BladeForums or BFC mentioned on the note. To prevent photoshopping this should be hand written but if you want to print it out and take multiple pictures from angles, be my guest, but you must show the knife (or item) is in hand and available when listing.

2. The For Sale areas now have a time limit on editing posts of 30 minutes, and threads of 1 hour. After that, the post cannot be edited to remove information. If you need to make price drops? Post them in the replies; since threads don't get bumped this will not harm anything or break rules. This will prevent people from breaking relisting rules by deleting items from posts and relisting them the next day.

People continue to be scammed by fraudulent sellers demanding Paypal Friends & Family. We cannot prevent you from foolishly sending money without buyer protection that Goods & Services provide, but hope that these measures help prevent people from offering knives they do not have using pics harvested from the web.

As is, the date in the date pic must match the thread date.

And no, a repost is not the only thing that could be happening.
The entire reason to post a date pic is to ensure the seller's account has not been hacked and that he does indeed have that item for sale.
If your account were to be hacked, the hacker could repost the old pictures as if he were you and still had the knife for sale, even if it had already sold. Then he could make off with the funds. And your account would be banned.
