Default Scammers

I've had PM's from 2 scammers recently.The solution is to make SYC a paid site to join.It amasses me some of the long time members,with high end cars,who won't pay a measly $30.00!Paying up front would solve the problem.

I've been paying for almost 22 years. It has not hurt me a bit and would agree with BJCHEV396.

With the difference in the two currencies it cost me around $40.00 but it's worth every penny cause it's the best site on the Net!

But what about the really great members albeit cheapskates we don’t want to lose?
Also, we’re risking input from others who may surf in but can’t add their sometimes valuable comments.
Even a lot of us here, myself included may not initially have joined up if payment req’d. up front?
A conundrum for sure but w/ everyone working together also using Steve’s Scammer Alert Thread, let’s hope we can continue to thwart these loser’s attempts around here and they go play their games elsewhere.
SYC rocks!

Just make it so that an admin has to approve all new members. One forum I am a member of requires applicants to give a phone number when applying. If the site owner thinks something looks fishy he will call the number and speak with the person
