ped Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Hi guys I posted a new 'announcement' in the basses for sale forum today to urge people to include a note in their sales pics with their username. Please try to add this in your new and existing listings, even if you're a trusted member (as nearly everyone on here is) just to normalise the practice for anyone who has just joined. It's just another way to ensure listings can be verified as genuine and it will prevent people using cloned pictures from other sites.

simonlittle Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Great idea. Just saw it pop up on a listing I’ve been wondering about for a while now. Thanks @ped👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 (edited) Maybe one of our super artistic types on basschat could make a printable card with the BassChat logo and username printed. Like a trade show name tag / ID / Business card design? Oh and maybe a QR code to take the reader straight to BassChat / the user?

I can re do the images I posted recently, but difficult to re take them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackroadkill Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 We used to do this on another forum I used; it was a really good way of keeping the bad guys out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 @ped can you direct me to a sale post that uses this? Surely this is fairly easily faked and conversely the notes can just as easily be removed by people wanting to re-use the photos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I am sure it is a coincidence that the recommendation for sellers to use postit notes comes in the same week that Ped bought shares in 3M. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted August 16 Author Share Posted August 16 14 minutes ago, BigRedX said: Show me a photo that uses it, and then challenge accepted. Not sure I understand, I thought you were making one? Anyway here's one I posted in the 'announcement' which says about placing it somewhere it can't be cropped out, etc. Either way, I think a venn diagram of photoshop experts and online bass scammers will have very little overlap, and anything we can do to make it less convenient, the better. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
