Are you on sythe to scam?

Hello Sythe

I've been browsing these forums for a few weeks, and I finally decided to register

I am not here to scam

But I was wondering, whats the point in asking 'are you here to scam' when you register?

Even if you were...you wouldn't excactly say yes would u lol

 

Dont ask us then?

 

No, I'm not. ^Sketchy.

 

Maybe the title is misleading. The point of this thread is, to the makers of the site, whats the point of having the question there?

 

^It can be used as a legal defense against anyone who breaks it.

 

oh ok so what actually does happen if someone does scam

 

I don't remember that question. Is it new?

If you say "yes," does it not let you register? lol.

 

The question is: Are you on sythe to scam members?

Or somethin like that lol, not sure what happens if u type yes lol

 

Just banned. If they try to file anything legal against us, they can't. They broke a contract.

Nope, was there when I joined. It doesn't let you register.

^^^

 

^
lol

But in response to your question:

They get permanently banned, and their IP is logged so that if they ever try to come back on a different account they can be banned again.

 

It's honestly just some petty legal defense thing, however it'd be waived in court instantly.

It's similar to all the tou on... everything, facebook, runescape etc.

 

i agree. there is no point of the question. because your right....who the fuck is gonna say yes?

i also agree that it is sketchy tbh.

nothing happens to people who break it. Lets get real...people scam left and right on a daily basis..... how often do you see any legal action taken? especially by sythe...? never..


tbh, it really is an incredibly pointless question IMO.

I am guessing they keep it their as some measure to satisfy technicalities even though i think its implementation remains unjustified and its point nonexistent.

 

How can someone file a court case against the website if another member scams them?

 

im sure when you sign the agreement when you make a sythe acc that you probably agree that sythe cannot be held responsible for any scams that go on within the site.

though contrary to the above belief, legally, minors cannot be held to binding contracts.


Although you may or may not be able to take action against the site.... legal action CAN be taken against individuals who scam... Especially people who chargeback on paypal or take your paypal and dont give you the items you purchased. Chargeback fraud/Paypal fraud is fraud. Serious consequences can come from fraud.... huge fine and jail time are a very realistic possibility.

Sadly no one here takes any action which COULD technically be taken

 

Maybe most of the users don't know where to begin, when they are scammed. Some guides would help. Also Isn't virtual items trading against the law anyway

 

There is no such law prohibiting the sale and purchase of virtual items, infact, games like Entropia Universe and Second Life thrive on it; I am not so steadfast about China though, I hear that recently laws have been passed pertaining to this issue.

The sale or purchase of these virtual goods however is sometimes, and usually against the game producers UE and/or TOS. You can argue it much more deeply, taking advantage of ambiguously worded phrases to form a case, however it is NOT illegal.

 

Malakadang covered it pretty well but i do just want to say that I actually think thats a great idea to have guide(s) on the matter to possibly help someone finally take action against all these pussyfaggotscammers.

 

Didn't this happen to Sigex?

 

If Sythe.org is able to show that proof in court, then why doesn't the victim sue? That way the scammers money can be taken?

Is it too much hassle? Etc.
