hopefully 1 works


Sythe account - Assassin


Admins have all the unedited screenshots, we discussed to blank things out for privacy.

explanation:
On Jan 8th 2023 i was transfering a rare name i owned to one of my other accounts and the name was sniped in the blink of a eye.

I took a screenshot of me still logged into the name with the rare username on forums and my sythe account - January 8th 2023

After the name was sniped i messaged a few name sellers and admins to let them know and keep a eye out for me. One of those people were Assassin.
9th January 2023

I added the name to my friends list and basically logged in now and again for the new 2+ years

In 2025 i logged in to see the name had finally been moved of the sniper account and to a new account showing it had been sold, so i hit the markets again and started asking around.

Assassin says my name was recently knowing it was my name and that nothing can be done... fishy

the rest of the conversation... found it very strange he'd call who ever has it a scammer ? made no sense to bring that up but anyway.. ironic.

so i continued to log into runescape to see if i could ever catch the new owner online and i finally did!

@Assassin you'll need to weigh in here.

 

The name was listed through us Oct 26th 2024 after looking at logs. I will pm Andy on discord the chat and his discord ID etc

It is very difficult to keep track and remember a name that was reported over a year and a half ago on Sythe (since I am not active on Sythe) and the name could of moved accounts since it was stolen/sniped off of him. I also got confused with a very similar name we sold (3g) so I think It may have moved, but I don't track name changes so I have no clue. We move so many names/list so many names a day and there is only so much we can do to prevent these kinds of issues and we always try but obviously its easy to forget over a year and a half later from a sythe dm. In terms of the recent dms, I think I got it mixed up with a very similar name (3g) as stated above. Proof of this can be shown privately to admins/mods if they think im talking out of my ass and I should of done more thorough research there instead of being lazy.

If someone reports it to me on Discord usually ill add it to names to avoid list in our server that we try to keep updated, but most of the time those names come back into the market on other Sythe affiliated discord servers, when people buy the name off name snipers. Do we keep the names on avoid anyway or remove them due to the fact an innocent person owns the name now? Sythe seems to think its not valid on avoid anymore once a name moves so I got no clue. This user reported it early, but it doesn't change the fact it most likely changed hands multiple times before it was listed with us.

There have been many instances of this happening and it is hard to tackle so any Admin insight would be appreciated. If its ruled that we were negligent in listing the name then we can refund but I would ask for proof it didn't change hands at all. Thanks

 

Apologies for the delay, I'm going to go over the relevant points before I lay out the ruling:

• @Assassin facilitated this sale between two other parties, as opposed to buying and selling the name himself.
  
• @Burnley did not post any report on Sythe surrounding the sniping of this name for over two years, but did in fact inform Assassin that the name was sniped.
• Runescape names change hands both easily and often, their movements, or lack thereof are difficult to prove and document in the best of circumstances.
• This snipe took place over two years ago, on Jan 8th, 2023.
• Assassin was unable to provide any chat logs surrounding the name sale he facilitated, even though he was informed the name was sniped beforehand.

Given the lack of more concrete evidence surrounding the movement of the name from the time it was sniped we will not be holding Assassin liable. However it is clear that Assassin was negligent, as he failed to perform any level of due diligence before assisting in the sale of a name that he was directly informed was sniped.

Staff have agreed that @Assassin should receive a TWC (Trade with Caution) rank for poor trading practices, which may be disputed after 30 days have passed.

 

@Assassin and @Burnley have reached an agreement and the former has compensated the latter for the loss of their RSN. In light of this agreement the TWC is being removed.
