    It's very easy to fake scam reports,
    I mean way too easy at the moment,

    Now I will explain what I mean by this,
    Current to prove a skype belongs to someone all you need to do is simply upload a picture with skype id next to the skype chat,

    This can A be photo shopped,
    or alternatively, you can open a skype id next to chat logs with an imposter,
    So an example of alternative is here,

    Now let's presume in this image I'm trying to imposter someone *Removed*

    If I had the same image etc as helldog and same profile picture I would look fully legitment with the current sythe system of a report a scammer.

    We'll see as I was a victim of these scams a long time ago and the person photoshopped it and I was proven innocent, I can tell you this is a real problem in sythe

    So amazing a broken man what your system to combat this great flaw in sythe with your great intelligences and good looks?

    Simple really, if you have the chat logs up with a person on skype the person the name highlights blue, so to combat the problem I would like to change how this particular sticky works ATTENTION! ALL SKYPE PROOFS MUST INCLUDE THIS! , I would like to it to be changed so that all images must be uploaded with gif image instead of the current straight forward image ,

    This will combat imposters due to the highlighted name I stated previously and completely remove the problem of photoshopping in the eitherty. This will save countless people from being banned for scamming while they have committed no offense.

    How often do these cases really happen though, I haven't seen a photoshopped skype profile picture in a report like ur describing in literally ages.

    It's also pretty evident when it happens and the accused can typically prove it was not them fairly easily.

    I don't really see a need (?) for something like this, but I'm not against it as using gyazo gif isn't hard at all.

    On the fence on this one atm.

    In my term as moderator never had to deal with or seen it, I don't think its a huge issue and its a pretty simple fix from the user who get banned to post a dispute

    Ive seen a few cases like A Broken man describes, but I never seen anyone dispute so, It would be neat, but, its not entirely necessary

    For a substantial report a good mod would contact OP and make sure all is as it seems in the report anyway

    Anything pedantic can be disputed

    Whaa? I've seen maybe 1-2 cases of this while I've been mod (including the months before I resigned)
    No support, this isn't needed and you have no idea how painfully hard this would be to explain to new people who don't really know how to use screenshot programs.

    I see no reason why this needs to be a rule, chances are if you wanna photoshop go for it then the other person still has their chat logs and can post them to call you out on it so that would be a waste of time? Plus, if for whatever reason is claimed a photoshop then mods can ask for a video or screenshare to look at it.. No support

    If someone noticed that logs were fake they could easily screenshare with a member of staff to defend themselves.

    That being said, I believe there should be a rule if there isn't already about faking evidence.
