Membership Sales forum gone.

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

The people have voted, I suggest you honor that poll and if you don't this is just a waste of a thread since our opinions dont matter.

So in a contest between a poll and the law you suggest I honour the poll?
 
Honestly, an announcement explaining exactly why that section was removed would be nice. And I don't know about this law you speak of. Why disallow it now if there was a law against it before?
 
Pins are worthless and just gets you a membership block.

Membership blockin' from Pins is like 50/50..

Anyway, I'll go with 2nd choice.

To answer your question: I wasn't aware of the issue until recently.

I've explained the legalities early in this thread, although apparently people voice their uninformed opinions so quickly that it keeps getting buried despite multiple repostings by others.

In my opinion, it wasn't necessary to remove one of the most important part of the forums. Looks like runescape black markerts turning into runescape community.

Also, this update is not going to affect me so much, because i am active on another forums, and membership sales were kinda dead anyway ( took me 3 days to get pin, and got it from another website )
 
I didn't really notice it first, but I'm sure there are some other sites where you can sell your pins :S Not mentioning any ofc.

but then shouldn't you close every single market? How do you know most runescape accounts aren't phished, most microsoft/xbox live cards aren't stolen?
 
It was justified and I dont mind paying the extra $5 for a membership, anybody who can't pay that needs to log out more.
I think the pin sellers/pin scammers/pin whatevers can get real jobs now, its 100 times more profitable LOL. [/twocents]

I think the poll speaks for itself.
 
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.
Just a quick question this looks to me like your saying another rs blackmarket could offer pin selling services etc and become leading i guess.

OT: If we've sold pins here for years now... and should still be years to come, i believe this will stop many new people and old from using the site. which ultimately causes loss of donations etc...
 
I think the poll speaks for itself.

Argumentum ad populum doesn't really work to get this reversed. :)

But the poll obviously reflects on human values, some people don't care about buying stolen goods, some people won't put up with it.

Thank you Sythe. (The user not the community.)

Yes they are stolen, but think outside the box yes jagex sell them $10 or w.e. but what does it costs them. to send a message with a little code on it? $0.1. they sell enough, so a few cheap pins wont harm them. if it did they would have cracked down on *******s a long time ago.
HOWEVER I GET ITS ILLEGAL AND W.E BUT STILL ACCOUNT TRADING IS ILLEGAL? AND SELLIN ACCOUNTS SO WHY CAN WE DO THAT?
