All information pertaining to my banning may be placed/discussed here.

Will update per request.

Currently awaiting The Jolly Roger and Verts to come online.
 
I have one question for you:

If your MSN is hacked, why don't you remove it from your profile?
 
I recovered my MSN not long after it was hacked, but that's not the point. There was an announcement in place made by Verts to warn people to trade with my MSN, so people would have to PM me first. I didn't think about removing it though, so that is a valid question.

When I logged onto Sythe, I had a private message in my Inbox from Verts as well. She said she didn't know why she was blocked on MSN, but to unblock her because she needed to speak with me. Apparently my hacker was in a conversation with her and Ryan, and she was blocked and ignored. This is how I found out I was hacked.

Flameon1907 was trying to sell some rares on Sythe, and noticed that a Christmas Cracker was included. I added him on MSN and continually PM'd him, but he would avoid me every time and would be suspicious. I was trying to verify his items to prevent people from being scammed. In thread thread you can see he is 99 Slayer too. I used that and the two letters of his username to find out his RuneScape Account. His RS name is Out0fCtrl. At least I verified his stats, but he seemed quite scared of me because of that.

His thread can be found here:
http://www.sythe.org/showthread.php?t=864092

The Jolly Roger and Flameon1907 were in a trade with my hacker. TJR said it was supposed to be for $1,200 but they agreed on $1,000. TJR sent $100 first because he said that was my fee and he sent it to this PayPal: [email protected]. TJR told me that during the trade he became suspicious as my hacker and Flameon would mispell the same words, my hacker had horrible grammar, and he wanted to use Finn instead as an OMM, but was denied.

After TJR informing me of this, I did a little checking. Guess what?

^ His name on MSN is Arthur. So, I'm 99.9% sure that Flameon1907 was my hacker. I could possibly get an IP for his user on the website as well to confirm it, but now I see why he was suspicious.

Furthermore, I had contacted The Jolly Roger already on MSN. He said that the payment was sent through PayPal and it was bank funded. I told him the methods/procedures to go through to recover the funds as it was sent as a gift. He thanked me for my help and told him he would do it right away.

He was later banned that day for self-vouching and made a dispute.

"also when unb4nn3d got hacked his hacker stole 100$ from me. if this is bc of that dont worry i dont need him to pay me back bc it should get bank refunded!"

-SHOULD get bank refunded-

It's not an absolute guarentee at the moment, but I continue to question if I'll see him on MSN again. If not, I have a screenshot that would be useful if the occasion were to arise.
 
/thinks that if he had been hacked the first thing he'd do when logging into his account would, both by first nature, common sense and logic, be to change the email

/leaves
 
After I had found out I was hacked, I was distracted. I was more concerned to talk to the guy who had been scammed. I had also been talking to Verts about the situation.

As previously stated, it's not really the point though. The email should have been removed, but I had Verts make a global forum announcement about my being hacked.

Is that the only argument the Staff has?
 
We're not in an argument here, Alex. You were banned as a safe guard against potential scams. A announcement doesn't free someone from liability regarding their MSN. You know many people don't ask for PMs or read the announcements. Verts informed the staff that you were still in the process of safe guarding your MSN/creating a new one. Banning you was the only way to protect our users. I'm confident that you'll be unbanned/returned to status as soon as this situation clears. Meaning:

1. Proof and or a statement from The Jolly Roger confirming he has the $100 back in his possession. The comment in his dispute does not qualify.
2. Allowing sufficient time to see if anyone else was scammed by the hacker.

Thank you for your patience.

This situation is pretty unfortunate. As long as The Jolly Roger is in contact with you somehow, this should be resolved fairly quickly. He seemed a little confused on how to send/upload screenshots when I spoke to him though, so you might have to help him a little there.

The rest of the staff are right in saying that you should have removed the compromised email from your profile and it was a little stupid not to have done that straight away (especially being an OMM!)
 
I am questioning what is to happen still, as I haven't had contact from the guy who was scammed in days.

Also, yes.. I know Verts. I did have you make an announcement and was going to post in Community General, but I forget which Staff Member told me not to. I think that was you, but I'm not certain, as who did said those who would have been scammed (if any more had been) would report it most likely.
