Membership Sales forum gone.

[Transfer]

Its shit. Theres no way in hell I'm paying $10 for membership... A lot of people are here because we had this section. I think we're gonna loose a lot of members now...

Agreed.
The community is going to lose a good amount of people due to this update.
It's a horrid update in many members' eyes, but it was best for the website.
As stated numerous times before, I believe they should re-open the section, but make it strict and make sure no pins from pin lines are being sold.

 

[Gorgankle]

We both know that you implied he wouldn't bring it back in your post so don't try to bull shit.
I'm a kid, yet you sit here flaming me.
Get off Sythe, now.

I never implied that show me where I implied it?
I simply said it shouldn't be taken down because of the illegal activity,
since there is so much that happens here anyways.

Then I also mentioned some alternatives to allow legal ways to function. Which
yes were stated in previous parts before, but there was no action to it only words.


and yeah I'm going to flame you when your being a douche. So will anyone, that's life kid.

lol tell me to get off sythe?

Been here longer than you deal with it.

I think that's what they're planning on doing.

To my knowledge the vast majority of RS membership sales are ultimately sourced through illegal wholesalers. The reselling of stolen goods is called fencing, and is both illegal and against sythe.orgs rules.

I would, however, like to keep the membership sales forum if there is going to be legitimate trading in there. If you can make your case to me that your pins (or any pins sold on sythe.org) are legitimately obtained (at their source) I will be happy to reopen the sales part of the forum to you.

To be perfectly clear, I have not closed these forums because membership trading is inherently banned, but merely because it is currently overrun with illegally sourced pins.

I talked to my superior at FYE & she stated that it was perfectly fine.
JaGeX can't sue me for doing this, the most that can be resulted is the person's account being banned.
I doubt this will even be possible due to the simple fact that they aren't allowed on this site and also they don't know the customer's RS account name.
I'll just let the website out... hopefully I won't get an infraction as I am just trying to help the community.
A friend of mine that also uses Sythe would sell pre-paid RS Membership Cards that he received through Prize Rebel.
He just does offers on there that require him to put in his credit card information and Social Security Number.
It doesn't charge him and he gets the free memberships.
Also, I'm pretty sure he refers a lot of people and you get points (that's the currency on the website you could say.) that way as well.
I don't do survey/offer websites myself.
And I don't care about the money loss, I'm helping the community here at Sythe.
$3 loss for one smile on a Sythe member's face isn't much to pay, considering I work 2 jobs.

I am 100% positive that a superior would not tell you that doing something that unethical was okay.

I feel quite sorry for your friend, because he honestly won't make it far in life if he is stupid enough to freely hand out his credit card number and social security number. I really didn't think there were people that stupid, but I guess if you have to fill out surveys to make pennies on the dollar, you probably weren't going far in life in the first place.

You can't possibly come on here and tell everyone that you are legitimately mad because Sythe took away your ability to LOSE 3 dollars a pop selling memberships.

Your story smells of bullshit. Pretty much all of it.

My story smells bullshit?
Are you stupid?
I stated probably 50 times on this thread alone that I do profit from it as well, but I help out the community nonetheless.
I'm pretty sure he isn't profiting pennies on the dollar considering one offer takes him about 2 minutes maximum.
$5 in 2 minutes?
I think that's an amazing payment.
Some people don't even get that an hour.
You have the puzzle, but don't put the pieces together.
Not a smart man.

We all know that all pins came from pin lines. It comes down to whether you thinks we should be allowed to sell pins from pin lines.

I think should be allowed...

 

[Kalipop]

Kinda disappointed as ive lost business, but meh.

 

[Canada Man]

It doesn't affect me that much, considering I don't play Runescape, but it's nice to have the luxury of knowing I could become a member whenever I want for only $4.

However, I agree with Sythe. It's basically fencing stolen goods.


PS: I agree that there should of been an announcement on this.

Does not compute, who is you and what is "you's" power in this statement? The site owner seems to be "you" here.

I'm pretty sure iPhone was legit.
There were a few legit RS Mem sellers who sold UGCs/Pre-Paids.

 

[lfesp]

was best section in this forum....

 

[I am the Master]

ahhhh i needed a pin!!

Lots of people were legit, i used to sell USA sms pins...
But so many more people were using lines, not that most people cared though.



I've heard that they're bringing the section back, anyone know anything more on this..?:huh:

 

This was pretty uncalled for. People make their profits on their site purely through membership PIN selling, myself included. One of the things that attracts people to our wonderful site is the trading of cheap membership PINs, and that's been taken away. I honestly think it's unjust, and it'll be hard to find a couple bucks here and then, but it's not really my call. I guess Sythe did whatever he felt best for his users.

I'll be hit hard by this, but I'll go ahead and find something else.

Meh, pins can be purchased on other sites just as cheaply, and you can still sell pins via MSN or advertise pin sales via MSN in your sig I would imagine.

 

[JezusTime]

Even if the section is gone, people could still trade through PM's or through msn.

Although i do think that removing the section was unfair. Why does it matter where they obtained it from? Real Black-markets don't ask questions.

 

Won't be able to get mems now but at the same time gives me less mod logs ...

 

[WhatWasThatCrap]

I just needed some pin right now... yea, now I can buy a shit.. no pin.

Well said, though I don't approve of pin lines.

If they sold through PM, it'd still result in a ban..

As for MSN, I'm sure you could. If people can trade auth codes over MSN, I'm sure there's no rule regarding the selling of PINs outside of Sythe (such as Powerbot, MSN, etc), then I don't see any wrong doing in selling PINs over MSN.
