Membership Sales forum gone.

What do you think of the removal of the Membership Forums?

This is just all kind of bullshit.
:|
Just making more complicated problems on Sythe.
 
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.

So you make money and lose money as well?

In regards to the survey thing, have you ever heard that something might be too good to be true?

This could mean one of two things, either your buddy is stretching the truth a little bit or maybe giving out his credit card number and social security number isn't as bright as he seems to think it is. I'm inclined to think both, but let's think logically about this. Why would a company pay someone 5 dollars to obtain their credit card number and social security number if it wasn't worth more than 5 dollars to them. What do you think makes it worth 5 dollars to them? I guarantee businesses don't just stay afloat by handing out cash to people with no motive.

He isn't stretching the truth.
He has showed me in person how he does it, but I just don't trust giving out my Credit Card info.
Who cares if he is being bright or not?
Is it your credit score or money at risk?
No.
Am I the company doing this?
No.
Please don't ask questions that I can't answer nor are relevant to the issue at hand.

I see the logic for removing the section, but nonetheless, I think it unwise. Pins can, at least theoretically, be obtained legitimately, and they attract a lot of traffic to the site (initially, myself included). The fact is, people want to trade them, and as the leading RS black market, Sythe.org can't reasonably ban their sale and remain as such.
 
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...

Agreed. Everyone (95% of people) knew that the PINs were from pin lines and it has never bothered anyone before.

I don't see why its that big a deal tbh...

EDIT: And if people get their PINs legitimatly, there isn't any point selling them cheap because they will loose a lot of money
 
Thanks for all of your input guys. I agree that we should have a verification process so people can sell "legit" pins.

Once that is up and running, people will still be able to buy pins, so pitch your ideas to the admins!

I think everyone understand and know why membership is being banned, but what sin said nails it on the head, I think the membership is something that draws alot of people to this sythe, and many people profit from it, sellers and buyers. But at hahanerd/nate do you think you would be allowed to say something in your signature about how you sell pins on msn?

I'm not hahanerd or nate, but I would say no. PM a global+ to ask them, but I doubt you can.

Additionally, if they say no, tell them the rules should be updated.

I recommended this already.
I don't know Sythe's view point on it though.
>_<
This whole update is annoying though.
:sick:


Well I am tempted to bring back a controlled membership market, with each seller pre-verified to avoid the sale of stolen pins -- or just with a ban on the sale of phone pins.


To everyone else bitching and whining: suck it up. Your complaints amount to "I want cheap membership, therefore I don't care that the pins are stolen."
Allow me to reiterate: fencing is against THE LAW, and against sythe.org's rules.

I'm curious to know - How would you pre-verify PINs without using them, if I may ask?

Have an "Official Pin Verifier", probably a staff member experienced in the pin market like skele or Finn, to vet pins by eliminating all Australian PBP pins and making the person explain and walk them through where they got the pin from.
Anyone caught attempting to cheat the system would be banned.

The only downside is that this would take a lot of time on behalf of the verifier.

So for example just ban the sale of pins (we all know they come from a line somewhere), and allow sale of UGC cards or something?

Think he was leaning more towards just banning the sale of pins, which I think is a fair compromise, given their illegality...

This was my initial position, but all the pins which are sold below their source value are 99.99% likely to be stolen (which is all of them.)

That's a good idea. Have trusted pin sellers (Skele, Matthew, Amanda, etc) be able to still sell thier pins. I'd rather not go to powerbot just to buy pins when i can just as easily do it here where i'm somewhat trusted. I'd have to say bring back the entire section though.

What sucks the most is todays the day i got paid by gold4rs, and needed to buy pins again :(

I don't think it would be the wisest idea to have either Skele or Finn be one of these 'official verifiers'; they were selling AUS PBP PINs as well. There's also a downside to this. A person can buy a few legitimate PINs from the Jagex website, and once it has been verified, they can start selling PINs obtained from *******s.

1. Amanda is a lier and scammer, she has scammed me and many others.

2. Skele and Matthew obtain their pins, ultimately, from p1nl1n3s.
