No more FOR SALE or WANTED

Without naming names, the straw that broke the camel's back was that a good long time member had his account compromised and used to execute a scam.

One thing that might change this is when XenForo grows to require a passkey or 2FA. As long as this can be optional around here, it will be, and we'll need to keep this system turned off.

Oh man that sucks…

I think every type of good transaction/communication between members of this beautiful forum should be promoted.
Scammers can target people everywhere.

Out of curiosity, buying and selling aside, is there a reason why the extra security of 2FA is not just turned on anyway if it's an option? Is it that much of a hassle for members to do, even though people's accounts are getting compromised?

It’s an option for everyone now. Few choose to enable it.

I use the 2FA. I like the added security but it is a bit of an annoyance needing re-login on every device every 30 days.
