People can browse ads and threads on TOTV without registering. They cannot post ads or post on threads nor can they send PMs if they are not registered.
This is why we advise members to only put their contact info into the designated section of the ad rather than in the body of the ad. Only registered members can see the designated contact info.
We will continue to look into this.

This person contacted me through the classifieds on TOTV, his avatar name is dhin11. I looked him up in the member's list. His email said it was sent through TOTV
