An idea to reduce scamming

Status
Not open for further replies.
I agree with this idea but it would be too hard to implement. Also if people get scammed for going first to people with no vouches it's their own fault, imho. You require a big lack of common sense to do such thing.
 
I support this somewhat.
It could fix some scams, but open ways for people to scam differently.
New members of Sythe should be forced to read some kind of thread that explains everything to them so that they won't be as foolish.
 
In theory, it's a decent idea but it's just too hard to implement that. Pretty much every trade takes place over MSN and we can't moderate what goes on in those conversations.

Since what Verts said is true...instead, we can switch up the rule a bit and say that if they are scammed by going first to a newcomer, they may not report the incident?

The downside with my idea is that the person who scammed will get away, =/.

The idea isn't to punish new people, it's to help them. I like the idea of a mandatory page that every new user must read with tips on avoiding scams and trading safely
