I am opening this new thread because anti-scam info was requested elsewhere recently.
Sites/forums I know of are listed below with an indication of their
operational features and in descending order of functionality, and, deliberately, no comments on their reliability (I am aware some of them are considered questionable).
The idea is to gather comments and additional info, and eventually post this list to REVIEWS and to WIKI.
