.. Explaining about the amounts of scams that are getting through onto the site. God, it looked so long. I'd show it to you but it wasnt letting me copy it for some reason, and it didnt save in my sent box  So im a bit upset about that as i wanted to show you it
I'll tell you when i get a reply though.
It took me about half an hour to write, and i explained every little detail, and gave examples of swaps i found on the forum. So hopefully they will do something about it on their new site 
Edit: Aha i just got an email saying its delayed, probably because i sent it to the wrong address, and it told me what the message was 
Here you go!

I think in your new site (if it will ever be finished!!) you should definitely include some filters if that's possible. For instance the kind of rubbish that gets through on Swapitshop is completely ridiculous. There are so many things in the wrong place or scams that some unlucky people fall for. Here is one i just happened to find now:
http://www.swapitshop.com/cgi-bin...=1&find=&category_id=1675
I see hundreds of these scams that people fall for every week, and its not fair. I belong to a forum and apparently rumours were spreading about the scammers keeping their Swapits and their rating because its not thoroughly checked or investigated at the sorting office. This is completely unfair as it wastes the buyers time and encourages scammers to do it again. If you look at the Nintendo Wii CONSOLES Section, there is just a ton of rubbish, most of which doesn't even belong in there, the swappers are just trying to get more attention for their swap. Here's the link to the Wii section:
http://www.swapitshop.com/cgi-bin...;action=view&category_id=1675
Or even sections like the PS3, Ds and Xbox are always crowded with stuff that shouldn't be there.
Other things that are particularly annoying are the increasing amount of "MAKE YOUR SWAPS STAND OUT" swaps. These get EXTREMELY annoying when you're trying to browse through the Wii section and some idiot has put 50 of them up. Not only do they have a massive title, but its completely pointless anyway because you can simply email Swapitshop to ask for things like that. the other thing that annoys me is basically another pointless swap, usually called something like, "WIN EITHER A PS3, XBOX, IPOD, WII, DS, POKEMON CARD OR TV. ONE WILL BE DRAWN OUT OF THAT HAT AT RANDOM!" I mean, its quite obvious its not going to be the Wii, PS3, DS, Ipod, Tv or Xbox.
These examples i want you to take into consideration. I think there should be a filter on stuff that goes up, or maybe just something to make sure things go in the right place. So you can make a section for all those Make your swaps stand out's, and all the lucky dips. But what's would be best is if they didn't go up at all. We swappers want to buy decent stuff, not spend hours looking through worthless stuff, trying to find something worth buying.
Just been looking through, and found this:
http://www.swapitshop.com/cgi-bin...=4&find=&category_id=1315
The small "pic" word in that gives it away that its quite clearly a scam. Things like this people often fall for, and its not fair. There are SO many of these that have been allowed through, and i personally think that you shouldn't allow a swap that has the word "pic" in the description unless it has it in the title.
Right, i think that's all i have to say =]
Please take this email into consideration, as it did take a long time to type, and i don't want to know that its just been thrown aside, as it is a very serious problem at Swapitshop. I want to try and help it become a clean, spam free place. I'd hope to get a reply soon, and hopefully this can get sorted out.
Thanks,
-Robin Smith
PS- When is the site supposed to be finished?
