    The problem: Scammers in the blackmarket

    Solution: Making Requirements to post threads in certain sections.I mean is someone really going to buy an account from a leecher?Requirements could be a post count, a certain # of vouch's,etc...

    I know a site called se7ensins.com that did a method like this to allow access to certain parts of their site.It worked well for them and I think it could for sythe to, just wanted to throw this idea out to hopefully lower the number of scammers on sythe.

    Not every leecher is a scammer. Not every leecher is going to say "I'm trusted, you first". That's what a middle man is for.

    yes true but can't a person get back an account even if it is verified secure by an mm.such as using previous passwords and subscriptions, and thats where trust comes in, so why should I trust a leecher, I don't think very many are trusted.

    Safest way is to not trade at all, or just use an official MM that has been here for a while.

    what sythe should do is a complete remake.. ppl think of scamming others, and come to sythe. i know many people who are here that plan and succeeded scamming. sythe should just remove the whole database, rename the site, and start over..
    im not advertising this forum, but i used to go to cx, changed name so you cant look it up.. if you know what it is good for you. you dont know how many ppl come to this site from that site to scam.. u cant trust anyone on sythe. cuz what i always say, and hear other ppl say is.

    everyone will scam for a right price. im pretty sure if someone offered pen $1000 for something, he would scam them. and im pretty sure every1 else would. you cant trust anyone, not even an MM. nothing would reduce this. the only thing that i might now of is shutting down sythe, and opening it as a new forum. the staff would have the same positions. but it would remove the scamming rep on how easy it is to scam sythe..

    and if your stillreading this, you most likely agree...

    Bottom line, Use a middleman. If you are trading with an official middleman just get a higher rank and more trusted staff member to middleman for you.

    I know many people on here that wouldn't scam. Believe it or not but some people out here can not be bought. On the other hand who cares. People just need to stop trusting every damn person on this internet and use a MiddleMan with anyone. Even if I was trading Curt, or Pen I would still use a mm. Two very trustworthy people but I wouldn't be willing to just hand them $500 expecting a payment after I go first. How many people do that in the real world? "Well John Doe, I'll give you $5,000 for this car first and then you can give me the car later..."

    That is why MMs are present in sythe. I don't think this is a good idea that's all.

    I think that is a very good idea because MOST leechers are scammers who copied and pasted the account pics from the neighboring thread. And that would halt people from making 5 sythe accounts for scamming.

    Well the post count wouldn't work since some people with high post count still scam even with the vouches someone could fake vouch and no one notices. And whats up with the sellers going around saying I'm very trusted plox lol.

    Surely this will just increase the amount of spam on the forums for leechers to be able to get there post count up to be able to post on the blackmarket?

    I didn't read through everybodies posts ; but may I suggest an Offical Middleman be assigned to each trade ; so that way NO scam is possible ? Trading Itself is difficult ; so scamming would be ten times worse . So yes , I am adding onto your suggestion. :p

    I agree with Mr B Nice, Official Middlemans should be assigned to each trade,

    Story Time! :laugh:

    That's what the pricks at fagex do and it sucks imo. People with higher post count will get a shot to scam the people who are looking for trust in the shit forum. :confused:

    Agreed, there would be no point making requirements to post in the section. Using a MM would be the best idea.

    Why do you just set your own limits?

    If you don't trust a leecher, so be it!
