no wonder every1 from Fagex and other Cheating sites only use Sythe to Scam

AhahahahahahahahahahahahAhahahahahahahahahahahahAhahahahahahahahahahahahAhahahahahahahahahahahahAhahahahahahahahahahahah.

About half of our scamming population is from refugees who were exiled from those other cheating sites first, or are ban evaders.

Yes but NEW people to the forum and such wont know that will they, and there will ALWAYS be new people.

So your saying just let them scam people then those people will learn, but then they get new victims and it just goes on.
I would put money on it that if there was actually dedication into stopping these then the number of scammers would go down a lot making life even easier for admins.

Those specific forums you have set up are dedicated to trading, but where they are just full of scammers now like 1 in 10 are actually genuine posts.

The scammers in a way is your responsibility too as you set up the trading forums, people do need to be cautious when trading online yes. But when 75% of the posts in trade are scams then what kind of reputation does that give to sythe on the new guys joining. People search things on google such as 'wow wotlk beta key' lets say they get a search on these forums so they come here go to trade and someone attemps to scam them so thats that.
But if it was successful then they would come back.

There's things that can be done if the people at sythe actually put work into it.

For example make rules like people with a certain amount of posts or/and havent been registered for however long cant post any selling threads.
Because at the moment its really not hard to try and scam, you make an account you make a post, done and just wait, and people such as me are new to the whole MM scene, in my case a MM was added to our convo but turns out it wasnt a real onem i caught him out, he had a very similar email to the real one, another person might not spot that.

Scammers are everywhere its down to people not to get scammed but its also down to the admins to get rid of the known ones not just do anything.
Look at ebay they always have scammers on there but they get rid of known ones fast, people cant sell without having bank details and things like that.

You could even make people that want to sell on the forums have to use this: http://www.trustwho.com

Also the IP ban should be implemented the first time they scam not 2/3 time that's just stupid. A scammer is always a scammer same as a hacker on a game is always a hacker like 99% of the time.

Gratz. 90% of 'new' members are ban evaders. If you're that worried, have them put a disclaimer up. Gtfo.

stupid? a BAN would ensure they never scam on this site again.

but you must also consider... admins and mods are busy, maybe doing things behind the scenes...
**shudders at the thought of cruels**

Stupid? BAN EVADERS. Countless ways, not to mention you don't need a sythe account to scam there, numnuts.

Exactly.

We do try to clean up the scammer and spammer section, but it grows exponentially. As Make it Rain and other members have said, stop getting scammed! There are plenty of people who will middleman for you, some have fees, and many are free.

Option #2

Its simple to say "Don't get scammed" but is it that easy? Even people who have vouches still scam. Some are actually quite good at it. If only greed wasn't part of human nature

But it is. That's life. That's business. Business doesn't care about you, just money (this was an example, not calling scams a business)

How about this?

Don't trade.
Quit Runescape.

Problem solved.

Done, and /agreed.

If you don't want to get scammed, trade legit or don't trade at all.

How's this even a suggestion?

"Tell mods to do a better job"

Yes, im tired of seeing every1 get scammed uncluding me, i noticed how everyone in Sythe Complains theres a lot of scammers and such but go check the scammer section, theres atleast 15 posts without 1 single reply from a Mod/Admin, i think Mods should pay more attention to that section, that is ofcourse if u want to keep scammers out of Sythe, if u dont care then u probably just let the Scamming threads stay there without a revision, like ure doing already.

Number one reason people get scammed is greediness. You want something so bad you can't wait and then you get burned. All you have to do is get an mm.

read the guide not ot get scammed in black market.

Look; here is the down-low on the situation. If you get scammed- you become more cautious- you learn from your mistakes. If you get scammed, you will learn not to be an idiot again, if you get keylogged, you will learn to protect your computer, if you get "cleated" in the nuts during a football game, you will learn to wear a cup.

Life's Lessons... Learn Um

lolz, lol'ed at the nut thingy
I totaly agree...

EDIT:

How about this?

Don't trade.
Quit Runescape.

Problem solved.

lolz, also a good point...

Firstly, learn to type properly; Your grammar is horrible.

Second, it's easy not to get scammed.
Simply look at the player your trading with's history,
then you can make a decision whether you want to trade or not.
If your unsure use a middleman.
If he has a really bad scamming history, forget it altogether.
If he's going first, problem solved!
