With the forum continuing to grow there is without a doubt more spam. I have been trying to think of ways to deal with this. The three simplest ways that can be implemented now is as follows.
1. Recaptcha has been added to make a post or comment in an attempt to cut down on spam.
2. Increase in people with moderation privileges.
3. requiring the current date be somewhere in the photo you post of the item you are selling.
I am full open to other suggestions if anyone has any. If you would like to apply to be a moderator please comment below and we can talk.

Recaptcha is annoying as all get out! Jeez, how many dozen times do I have to click on the thing? And the ad may or may NOT actually post up
I would recommend name and date in the picture. Scammers can copy a dated picture from any other site and repost it. If your name is on it buyers can match it to your profile info.
Yeah, I'd be down to help Zach.
I’m happy to try to keep an eye out for shenanigans
