Registration Approval
This site was once wide open to the general public. Anyone could post ads. When spammers and spammers figured out how to post ads, registration became required to help weed out these pests.Although no method is 100% secure. Use common sense before contacting anyone in a classified ad anywhere.

Five or less criteria are used to determine eligibility to join this site and become able to post ads. No background checks of any kind are performed in order to register at this site.

If your IP address is in Montana, you are automatically approved. IP addresses outside of the United States even being able to view this website are obstructed by scripting. If somehow someone is able to get over this barrier, IP addresses outside of the United States are never approved. If your IP address is not registered in Montana such as mobile carriers, the location and telephone number entered by the user during registration are compared. If both are legitimate in appearance only, such as Helena location and a telephone number with an area code such as 406, they are approved.
