Not sure who I should be reporting this too so threw it in the suggestions forum

Ive found three threads in the last 2 days in the "Templates For Sale" section with new members posting Open Source templates for sale, claiming they have resale rights.

Having released some free templates myself I find nothing more frustrating than seeing some prick trying to pass off other peoples hard work as there own, whilst trying to profit from it too.

I know it is difficult to monitor every Open Source template released but is there no filter available to stop this kind of thing? Perhaps setting a minimum post limit before users can start selling in that section (similiar to the Website Reviews section needing 3 posts)

I will gladly be keeping an eye out to prevent members of this forum being ripped off but would appreciate some support from admin/mods if they can make it easier to prevent this happening.

Ive noticed a lot of people signing up to this forum simply because it is an easy target to gain free promotion. I usually think that forums needing moderation sucks but these one-post-wonders are damaging the sense of community that webmaster-talk holds.

Anyone agree?
Will

And we do try to dump them as quickly as possible.

Top right of every post (next to the permalink) is a Report Post button, which will alert the Admin/Mod team to your concerns about the post / member.
They can usually get picked up after a couple of hours

Cheers.
