Sorry for the slight "hijack" but its relevant to a certain degree; more aimed at the admin team. Is it not worth the effort to look into a "verified" function on the hub; something like the blue tick next to your name on twitter. How it possibly can work is like a good old pyramid scheme; John knows James personally, so he can verify this is a above board chap, James knows Jessie and Jake; he can tick them as verified. 1: this does not exclude anyone else from buying 2: its not a gaurentee that the deal with James wont go according to the sellers wishes, but its unlikely to be a scammer; 3: if it trickles down from the most "senior" hubbers there is a very high probability that those that end up verified are actual bonafide cyclist 4: getting verified is not dependent on how long you have been on the hub or post counts; if you know someone that is on the hub and that can verify; they can tick your name 5: the person verifying is listed next to said person, so there is a responsibility on this person to use it responsibly. Long winded, but just a thought.
