Seun:

If the problem is that people are flaunting the 3 threads a day limit,
then shouldn't the solution be to instruct the mods to pay more attention?

dantitiki:

True @seun

And instead of that, the moderators keep increasing in numbers. THREE morderators now, NO effectivenessWhere is the morderator of previous days " https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-280375.0.html " when you get warned instantly for violating rules. I also remember there's a function called "Admin message" which morderators use to communicate with members. But now moderators are busy focusing on their business. How many focal points can be achieved simultaneously?
Kind regards.

We dont Need another Section, What we need is a Sticky Topic of Accredited Dealers/Sellers Who wish to engage in Pre Order Services, For Other Type of Transactions The Status Quo Should Remain, its an Open Market.

BizBooks:

This is a good idea but should be expanded to include tokunboh, registered and Cotonou dealers. However, we should only adopt it if we fail to convince Seun of the need for a certified or approved section.

We should not be afraid of innovation. If we try something new and it doesn't work, we discard it. That is how advanced economies like Japan and the US got where they are today. They call it continuous process improvement.

Biz Books, Im afraid your Idea to Include ALL types of Sellers may not Work.

Nairaland has Over 600,000 Members, any of Whom is Free to Advertise On the Autos Section, If we Include all Kind and Types of Dealers & Sellers, How many Sellers, or Dealers can We Approve ?

Wont There be Prejudice in Selection from Such Large Sampling ? How do we Know Who is Who ?

It is an Open Market, Any body can Advertise and Sell, Any Body Can buy.

HOWEVER, the Pre Order Angle is a Sensitive One whereby Payments are Made Upfront without Seeing Goods.

80 % of Scams and Fraud that has been recorded on this Autos Section has been PRE Order Scams.

My Idea is that Dealers and Sellers that Wish to Engage in Pre Order Adverts Should be Verified and Certified.

For Cash and Carry Dealers & Sellers, it is the Prerogative of the Buyers to See what They Want and pay If they Wish to, It will be Needless as We cant even Know Everyone.

femmy2010:

Wouldn't it be a bit biased to have a separated section for only PRE-ORDER DEALERS?

Dealers should maintain equal privileged and if there should be an accreditation then it should embrace all as highlighted by Bizbook.

I have sold many a cars on ground to Nairlanders i have never met before(They only see the detailS online)and if people like us are exempted from the possible accreditation and a particular set aren't,it would be  wholly biased decision which would end up polarizing our dear NL.

dantitiki:

I don't get the hammer on the "pre-order thread"

So if this is gotten, then what happens to the "general dealers section". It comes back to a market rage

We need a general solution, not a disection.

Fish out dupes
Improve security
Eradicate multiple registration
Build a family
Spread the word on NL's aim, genuity and one goal vision

This site has the tendencies of a global reach and it's in the bowl of we members.

Kind regards.

That's not my decision. I'm not a programmer and that would need some query languages to achieve.

I just profered an idea which I feel should be worth a think.

We all have to do this together. Moreover, there's an admin to this forum isn't there?

An organogram always has a role to play in everything.

Kind regards.

Can you Provide an Idea / Solution to "Fishing Out Dupes" for the General Section amongst 600,000 members that have the right to advertise on a particular Section ?

BizBooks:

We shouldn't be worried about casual car dealers or people that will come here to sell cars once in a while. Such people will not submit to the rigours of certification because this is not their full time business. So when you discount them, the number will be much smaller than 600,000.

Also, recently, Monitor_1 caught a dealer actively selling cars on NL with three different IDs. If such person ever decides to apply for certification, he will not apply for 3 IDs. So I agree with Dantitiki that we should seek a comprehensive solution that is not targeted to pre-orders alone.

I urge others to make their opinion known. Silence may indicate indifference.

I help client procure their desired buy option from Cotonou and get 80% to full payment upfront and i have done tens of deals on NL that has never gone bad.
Thanks to NL,people like us without much capital to stock variegated buy options can still make ends meet.
So upfront payment would still remain in play.

The solution proffered by the moderator is the foundation for all others

"The Only Solution I can see is Collective Responsibility, The Admin and the Moderators alone Cannot Do it, When we see any Advert that looks dodgy Or we Suspect a User with Multiple IDs, Let us Call the Poster to order, We can also Use the Report to Moderator Button to report any Complaints, We all have a duty to Protect and Build this Section"

In addition,Dealers should post verifiable point of contact address on their threads as this goes a long way to prove they have nothing to hide and won't criminally abscond with client's funds.
