Inform about Discord Nitro scams

Ok a lot of people may be asking why did I just put spam in the title,
It's clearly ofc that people that don't read anything about suggestions but the title,

So I'm countering this,

My new suggestion is quite simple with large increase in discord imposter scam due to the new ninto system we need to tackle it,
despite me suggesting this here: Disallow adverting discord ID's on sythe

Some people seem to ignore the second suggestion in there, and only focused one of my solutions to the problem

Here was second suggestion that people seemed to ignore:

I believe we should have a sticky warning people about this new discord scam as people have lack of knowledge of it

I believe this needs to be stickied to every market due to how uncommon knowledge this is for time being,
This sticky should be similar to Beware of Skype Impersonators
and should be in every market for the time being

 

Support, not that anyone really reads them. Maybe add a draft of what you think should be included in the op.

If they request a PM to confirm they added there discord like everyone should do even if it is the correct person there wouldn't be any problems?

Yes and no,
since there lack of knowledge people assuming there same person since the only thing different between the name is a letter being capital and another not,
the issue is this cause by a new feature called discord nito basically someone can can make there discord name and tag exact same as your's the only difference is one letter capital and one is not
Example
My discord A Broken Man#4865
a potential imposter a Broken Man#4865

I already know this. What i am saying is if they got the add confirmed via sythe messages they'd know? Or sythe could update there messaging section so more people use the site to seal there trades? with a nicer and easier flow between players?

You know what would solve this?

A discord button like sythe used to have but back then it was skype/aim and shit.

This can only be done by creating your own discord and having people add you through it

So update the Conversation section to make it better to contact? Like the gold selling chat boxes similar to facebook? Surely this would create a easy flow between users making it onsite for trading inquires and more

 

Edited thread title and accepted, this is being created as we speak.
