Giving TwC to spammers

x339 · Jun 17, 2011

You know how sometimes you see someone who will up there postcount by like 200 in one day? Well its quite obvious they are useless spamming to get postcount to get more "trust". I think that if someone posts a large amount of posts in a very short period of time, and recieves a reasonable amount of spam reports they should either be banned for spam or given a TwC because they are obviously desperate to raise postcount which almost 99% assures they intend to scam.

They will be temporarily banned for spamming if they accumulate enough infractions. We're not going to administer bans for having a high number of posts per day.

No reason to do this, Spamming is nowhere near associated with trading. Sure a high post count is nice to have when trading with someone but it doesn't show any trust or character. People should only be given a TWC if they have been hacked or any suspicious/dishonorable actions they have conducted while trading.

If you only go by amount of posts someone has and not check them up before doing a trade you'r at your own fault really.

Sure, usually the more posts over the longer period of time is safer, but no matter what you should always do a background check - for eventual scamreports and google the msn etc.
