Membership Sales forum gone.

[rs emperor]

I disagree with this 100%. If Sythe wants to remove membership sales because thats illegal, looks like we have to remove gold exchange, account sales, any and all services, and the 'Runescape Cheating' forum to so nothing is done illegally.

I agree, yes many pin sellers obtain their pins illegally. But, what about the ones that do obtain them legally (me for example even though I've been busy over the last few months and haven't been able to sell pins). I don't see any legitimate reason to all of a sudden close the Membership Sales forum, this has been going on for YEARS.

Do the right thing and bring it back..

None of that is illegal. They are against the ToS of Runescape, but they are not illegal. p1n1in3s, however, are. (ooo, blocked word lol)

Semi-agree with you, but you aren't understanding the problem at hand correctly.
The membership sales section wasn't removed because it is illegal against RuneScape ToS (such as the other sections), but due to the fact that people acquired the membership pins illegally!
They stole the money to buy the pins from big companies, basically.

Also, I have a question.
If anything were to happen (getting sued, court, etc.), would Sythe be held accountable?
Is that why they removed it?

Edit: Or did they just not want the illegal activity here at all?

 

[bizness]

Gold Exchange breaks RuneScape ToS but it doesn't break any laws. Illegally obtained pins are illegal and because of that it could bring problems to Sythe. That's why he had to take the Membership Sales down.

EDIT: Transfer he would be held accountable as he is the owner of the site where they are selling the pins.

Ah, thought so.
I still think they should use my solution and everything would work out fine.
At least in my eyes?
Any thoughts?

Bad move, i dont care where they get pins, it was cheap way to get membership. P2p cost few times more in my country...

 

[blindkilla]

I doubt they will bring it back, but I fell at least an announcement would be nice.

Yeah...Changes like this with no announcement annoys people to no end..

So does this mean membership sales are no longer allowed?

 

[Scenecor3]

If people have been selling pins for so long and Sythe hasn't gotten in trouble, why remove it now? I don't see the point in removing the section.

 

[Xanthos]

Time to go to another forum... Fail update.

You might not care, but if you were the owner would you want to chance going to court and having to refund thousands of dollars?
Think before you post.

Ofcourse it will ruin the sythe market, but something illegal is illegal, obtaining pins from *******s is effectively scamming that company (it does not matter whether they're are multi billionaire or not)

It would not be accepted if i scammed, say for example r2pleasent, and in my dispute used an excuse he's a rich sythe member, and expect to get away with it.

 

Awww, the membership sales forum is gone :/, I just got a new thread layout also o well. Lets see how Skele is gonna react to this when he's back from vacation :O

He's going to ragequit.
If they allow the sale of Ultimate Gamer Cards or Pre-Paid RS Mem Cards, I'll be pleased & so will my customers.

This is an outrage tbh. Last night I bought 40 pins in bulk and now what the hell am I supposed to do with them? I guess I just wasted over $120 dollars, thanks sythe.

 

[Raz0r 1911]

Just to be clear with you, greg, Sythe.org is a free forum which allows you to transact with other users. You should be happy that you were able to trade amongst the community for absolutely no charge. Our forum has absolutely no obligation to provide these services, they are done out of goodwill.

Name of the game, I like this idea but that's probably because I just buy UGC cards from other people.

Now a slight warning might have been nice for those of you who wanted to unload quickly, but ultimately it was Sythe's decision and he chose to get rid of it now.

Selling UGCs aren't allowed either from what I've heard.
It's still a membership sale, correct?
I have UGCs to sell, but I don't know if I can.
I contacted Spyike, but he told me to contact a Global+ because he is unsure.
PMed R2Pleasent and Finn... none have responded.

[Tiemen]

I'm shocked :O
Thought this thread was a very bad joke :[
Although I do understand why it was removed, i dissagree with it.
Cmon ppl, this is a black market forum, like anything happening here isnt very legal =O
I don't wanna go to powerbot to buy pins from those scammers

PS.: the only reason why i'm dissapointed is that i have to pay 3x for my pins from now on...
it was gd as long as it lasted ^^
