I have received a message from member coltongreer21 this morning in response to a wanted ad I placed. Gave me an email address to reply to. I suspect a scammer. Be careful out there.

I also received two separate PMs with a reply email. He has only a single post so I am ignoring it.

If you notify me when this happens, I can delete the person's account.

will you be able to infer some sort of graded trust level from the existing forum plateform into the Discourse one, that mays be of use when dealing/filtering the wanted section, or will it start from scratch ?

I posted a video showing how to check a user on the topic about the upcoming migration.

thank you, i had watched the longer video (which sparked my question), and watched the other one as well - so the answer is no (the "trust level" won't be inferred from previous activity, I gather from ~ "Leslie will quickly move on after some forum's use") - so scanning previous activity (as suggested also in the video) will remain the recommended validation method, at least for a while.
