New Infraction

Hi-Jacking Threads - 2 Points

I've been seeing this lately, and all I can do is infract it for Spamming, when it's really a more serious offence.

Also, I have talked this over with SMR, and he said I should suggest it so the Leader of Infractions can approve it.

Discuss.

 

I agree, I've had my threads hi-jacked before and it's terribly annoying.

The worst is when the person that hi-jacked your thread actually takes business from you.

 

Sounds like a good idea. 2 points for thread Hi-Jacking is also reasonable, because it can turn potential buyers/sellers to the Hi-jacker's thread.

 

I agree as well.

 

I agree.
Sometimes ill see like 1 REAL owner and like 5 ppl trying to steal it

 

By hi-jacking, does this mean people cannot say in a thread "do not trade, he is a scammer!!!! See here: www.sythe.org/fffhfsffufufusdfusdhfu"
As this is off-topic but it is warning people since there is a delay in banning scammers which is enough time sometimes to scam again...

 

He means like stealing pics and stuff.

 

Totally agree, this mainly happens to me around the Training area. Someone basically takes business from my thread.

 

Good idea. Mr. Unbanned has gained more of my respect. Banning noobs faster is always nice.

 

Ohhh, I see , because I thought hijacking was just taking over the thread....

In that case, I wholeheartedly agree with this infractable offense

 

no thread hijacking is when someone makes a thread for selling names, then another person goes to that thread and posts "those a lame names noob! here go to my thread to buy better names sythe.org/t=21345" or something along the lines of that, as well as even posting stuff they are selling on that thread.

What you suggested is scamming chessy.

Anyways I agree 2 points isnt a temp ban yet its severe enough to reduce thread hijacking.

 

It really depends on what "level" it is on. If someone pastes their whole selling thread on yours, then yes, two. If they just say "I'll sell that too" or something similar, then it should remain one.

 

That's a good idea. It gets annoying when people say 'LOL MINE IS BETTER LOOK!!!!!!!!!!!' They're stealing your business.

Support.

 

iSupport.

 

Thread HiJacking is when someone comes on your thread and claims to give the same deal for a better price/fee.

I completely agree. Nice work unb4nn3d.

 

They'll just do it over Msn or another chat.

 

Agreed

 

I hate that as well...

But I say one point.

 

Disagree. It won't stop much unless you remove PMs from the forum. That's what they usually do anyways.

"S3ll1ng 3p1c m41n. add mi msn!"
"I'll buy it for $150!!1shift!"
PM "bro deg i sell u a bater mane foar $100 dollers."
PMResponse "K br0 l3tz tr4d3!"

 

Exactly, but i do agree with grave, saying it depends on the level...
