Well if they don't follow it their scammer reports hold no weight.

Support makes things just that little bit safer and stops all imposters (Which there is many of)

 

[djweasel]

Lets gett more support on this even though he's banned.

 

[Magic Arrow]

Chris asked me to bump this for him because he felt that even though he's banned he still wanted to contribute to the site. Since it's a suggestion, I didn't think it would be too bad to bump a suggestion. If a moderator has a problem with this, delete my post or ask me to do it if you do not have the power to do so.

Thanks.

Now that Sythe has established the more-secure IRC network for trading (more secure than MSN I mean) one could argue that we could just ban MSN all together.

I'm not saying we should but then we wouldn't even need to send PMs, as the accounts on IRC are linked. (And I realise the IRC is in beta, I'm referring to once the kinks have been worked out).

Honestly, a bold step, but it is not one without reason. The amount of time and effort put into banning scammers and preventing scams is ridiculous. Once the IRC is secure, accepting only IRC recorded trades could be very effective, and would most certainly make the job of the staff easier as well as make trading safer.

It's a win-win. The only question is, is making the IRC a requirement for trading a good idea?

I personally don't use IRC haven't in years i really don't see much point reverting backwards.

EDIT:Just clicked on the IRC tokken thing i cant get one because i have "_" in my username

 

[Chriscross23]

Bump due to unban.

I think this rule is kind of an uncodified rule, IT EXISTS, but its not written down.

Not at all. Please re-read the thread if you believe this rule currently exists.

 

[Dr. James]

Well I'll make this short and to the point since I'm busy. With all of these MSN hackings going on I think we should make a rule that if there is no PM of any sort confirming a trade is happening or confirming identity, or any sort of post we should assume it isn't their MSN. I personally do not think we should hold someone who's MSN gets reverted to be responsible for the scam when the other user did not request a PM. I mean seriously it takes like 12 seconds to get a PM.

I believe this is called communism/dictatorship?

Is that a joke?

Communism - is a sociopolitical movement that aims for a classless society structured upon communal ownership of the means of production and the end of wage labour and private property. The exact definition of communism varies and it is commonly used interchangeably with socialism, however, communist theory contends that socialism is just a transitional stage on the way to communism.

Dictatorship - A government controlled by one person or a small group of people. In this form of government the power rests with one person. Such power is often obtained forcibly. A dictator usually takes away much of people's freedom.

I do not support. sythe is down too often for this.

This, exactly.

The traffic coming into Sythe is too much to call the website's availability "reliable," and sometimes it's only down for certain people.

Lets say Person A is selling Person B an account.

Person A asks for a PM, the site is up for him.
Person B says the site is down.

Person A: "lol skammer reported im 12"

Correct, but those are definitions for different contexts though, say a political forum?

Explain how this is a communism (everyone is supposed to be payed the same amount, given the same amount of stuff, etc) or explain how this is a dictatorship.

He's saying that forcing members to use the PM system to verify each others is like a dictatorship because you are making them do it. When he says communism, he doesn't mean about the economic standpoint of it, but the standpoint of there being 1 absolute leader and you follow everything he says.

Honestly, it's not like communism, it's basically libertarianism. Liberals are always cradle to the grave, and making your members PM each other for the sake of 'safety' is no different.

Hey welcome back to Sythe

OT: No support, MSNs should be secure and you are responsible for it no matter how.
Also, if a MSN is hacked why would't a Sythe account?

MSN revertings are very easy to do and happen quite often. Many members get their MSN's reverted.

Imagine you are sleeping and your MSN get's reverted. You wake up and your MSN has scammed $1,200.

 

WHY is this not implemented yet?
