Reason we will thrash and not lock, a locked thread (incorrect) can be viewed and the fooled buyer can contact via PM. The fraud still happens.
Hmm. You are 100% right here.
Right now I locked a thread which didn't had pics, he was giving away Digit Magazines. Then I thought as no price is included and it's just a giveaway I reported it, and desiibond suggested to open it as it's a giveaway.
But in other cases, there can be fraud.
But one thing that I think is, many members(good members, who are not trying to fraud) also gets hampered, if they just forgot to maintain one rule.
Well, we should be either very strict to minimize frauds otherwise little bit loose. Both have their Advantage and Disadvantage.
