[Denied] Regarding DNTs

Here's a link of the news post when the DNT rank was implemented: Understanding the DNT (Do Not Trade) rank
We've also started to use the DNT rank as a precautionary measure. This is usually applied when a report remains open and the staff member handling it deems it likely that there is a debt. A clear example would be when a user is expected to pay someone but instead ghosts them. In such cases, there might be a valid reason for the user's disappearance, but we'd still want to protect the community by temporarily prohibiting the user from trading.

We have also used the DNT rank as a tool to encourage cooperation on a report. This is typically when a user is actively (auto)bumping their threads but hasn't provided any input or cooperation on an active report. A recent example involves the reports against Runehall.

Regarding this suggestion, it only applies to gambling sites. In my opinion, we shouldn't differentiate these rules between gambling and non-gambling sites. So, if the suggestion applies only to gambling sites, I don't support it. However, if this suggestion were to apply to all entities, I might support the idea but only if the DNT was applied as a precaution in the event of a potential scam. Aside from the report this suggestion refers to, I can't recall this situation occurring before. Therefore, I don't consider it a major issue either and believe it could easily be handled on a case-by-case basis.

I believe the simple change needed would be “DNT’d users are not allowed to be advertised by anyone, this includes but is not limited to titles, signatures, avatars”

Regarding this idea: users who have a permanent DNT (until successfully pardoned) or a permanent ban may already not be advertised on Sythe. I think we should handle these situations on a case-by-case basis. In the case of Runehall, I don't find it necessary, as stated above.

considering runehall has actively been online, has multiple complaints against them. And are not responding to anything. I think my suggestion would at least have an impact on their website traffic that would at least get the victims a response. Right now runehall are making a mockery of this site and just seem to be getting away with it. When people have been tagged and requested for information and not responded within a few days they are banned. why is this not the case with RH? Furthermore why is a “DNT” rank even placed on them, if we are going to allow multiple members to continue advertising for them via signatures, titles etc… defeats the entire purpose. I know you’re not responsible for this but it’s an awful look when the community can see an obvious bias on some cases.

this is exactly what it feels like. runehall has 4 reports adding up to over 7k usd against them and they are still going on about their day, even as much as to still have giveaways and other promotions on other discords, just business as usual and not responding to the report promptly

@Sythe get this ruled on please, it has 0 downside and nothing but pros, sure people on here might bitch about having to change their signature or title. But if it stops one scam taking place it’s worth it

looks like sythe users have removed runehall from titles/signatures, though certain users are still affiliated with runehall and promote them in their own discord servers that they directly use to conduct business on sythe...

We can’t moderate peoples discords, but as long as it’s a requirement here that’s all that matters tbf

I can get behind that wordage, support.

 

Just report banned users with advertisements and it handled by case by case basis.
