Suggestion for Classifieds Sport Checks

So here is a thought/suggestion...can spot checks in the For Sale section be done in private instead of as a public post in the thread?

When a spot check is made public and a comment is made in the thread saying that members should exercise caution, it automatically plants a seed of doubt in the minds of potential buyers, even after the seller proves their legitimacy. For TRF members who have no history on this board, it automatically puts them behind the 8 ball and it doesn't present a level-playing field in giving everyone an equal opportunity to sell here.

In my mind, it is very similar to someone who is accused of a crime and proven innocent in a court of law; society unfortunately still views the person as a criminal.

So maybe instead of a public post in the seller's actual posting, the moderators can send a PM to the seller in question and take down the seller's posting until the required verification takes place. Once the information is verified, the post can go back up. That way, the rest of the forum doesn't know that a seller's legitimacy is being questioned.

And if that's not possible, then the moderators can delete their verification post and the seller's verification response once a seller is verified.

Just my $0.02.
