blueprints Posted November 17, 2018 #1 Posted November 17, 2018 I believe we need a section in the forums that lets others make topics about people who have shown that they are untrustworthy, with or without evidence(claims). When it comes to online, well there's not much we have to go off of when it comes to getting to know someone on here. Despite that, theres still users who go trusting anyone willy nilly. Since the market and resolution is gone, i feel there is even less consequence for scammers to do as they please to others in stake. Atleast by having a place to call out the users who have done wrong, we can list off those that are not trustworthy and give everyone something to refer too. I know the staff don't want to get too much involved but id be willing to review the topics there and on a pinned topic list those that are under Suspicion (when theres not enough evidence) and Blacklisted (when its provable of what they did). I know there will always be scammers and such but at least raising awareness will make players reputation useful for all players in a keeping everyone safe way.
Paecga129 Posted November 17, 2018 #2 Posted November 17, 2018 I think this could turn into a circus or accusations and hurt feelings in my opinion. I think if you are unsure if you should trust a member, than do not trust them.
ekzxc Posted November 17, 2018 #3 Posted November 17, 2018 This is fine if we're sure and also have a proof that the person that we're going to post is a scammer. But if it's just an accusation, @Paecga129 is right. It can hurt the person's feelings. And because he can't talk to you personally, he may express his anger towards others.
williamshennie9 Posted November 17, 2018 #4 Posted November 17, 2018 There used to be a block on the home page of this forum with the players with the most reputation for the week, month, and lifetime. For some reason they got rid of it, so there must be a good reason why it was removed.

I think if you are unsure if you should trust a member, than do not trust them. Note in my post i mentioned having a Suspect list of those just under suspicion and those blacklisted who have enough proof. This isnt about feelings or opinions, its about awareness of peoples actions because we are not in a site that is meant for children. We are in a site that is meant for adults who like to gamble, and money is very serious. Those that take money seriously will put some serious thought on who to trust with their money and having something to go off of like a list of people whether suspected or proven scammers, will make it easy for them to determine how much risk someone is. When it comes to money feelings have no place, and those that make false accusations or make ones just cuz their mad, well i think people are smart enough to tell whose legit and who isnt. Normally those that make calm and mature accusations would be the ones taken more seriously lol.

That's the worst because anyone a person who is trusted by the website is accused with no claims is a bad idea because anyone who is even a newbie can be accused for no reason. 5 hours ago, blueprints said: When it comes to online, well there's not much we have to go off of when it comes to getting to know someone on here. That's why for these do trades with Middlemen only or don't do the trade or trade with members who are highly reputed here no with newbies or if you are buying just send half the payment first and the other half when you get the whole item or account.

Perhaps then the section should ONLY be for accusations with evidence. anything else gets deleted. and yes escrow or splitting the transaction is a smart and safe way to go about it too! but what about in regards to lending. and trusting they wont chargeback after they pay you for btc

In terms of Lending there are a lot of Options. You can either take a collateral from them like accounts or coins or something like that or if you can't take the risk then you should either reduce the lending amount or not Lend at all. Lending is usually for people who just do it as a side Income not a main Income. If you rely on Lending as a main income then you should be very cunning and check the whole account check the lendee's History etc. ( A Long Research )
EddieFx Posted November 17, 2018 #9 Posted November 17, 2018 I think this should be added too, I often feel like someone is just waiting somethingg to earn forum posts or get people to do something but for real it’s just a stupid stratergy or something like that
Mikehoncho Posted November 18, 2018 #10 Posted November 18, 2018 This would be a useful implantation. Similar to sythes DNT status.
