Known Scammer E-Mail list

[kblade51]

My idea is simple:

say you get scammed but dont have enough info to get person banned for any reason just saying. There should be a list one ongoing updated list updated daily of the emails of all the known scammers or ban evaders. Therefor you can check the person who your trading with's email against the list to see if they are on it.

A fault i figured out: They could easily make a new one. so what if we did it by ip and email? when your trading sk for theyr ip or a screenie from www.ipchicken.com and if they scam put it on the list.......

So basically you wreck their trading reputation without proof? Good idea.

ip'd and emai'ls can both be easily changed..

^Yeah, proof or gtfo.
Thats kinda how Sythe works.
IP banning someone because someone else claimed they're a scammer is like
giving someone life in prison without proof they committed the crime.

For this you can just google emails, and if there is no bad thing go on and trade.

I created a email just for this sythe account, since I don't want people from RS/Sythe on my personal msn.

And even with an ip check picture thing, things can be edited.

just and idea but i was just thinking on ways to cut down on scamming on sythe....

Wouldn't work.

People would just change their E-Mails all the time, it would be way to hard to manage due to the amount of scammers, and the new people wouldn't bother using it.

You can find out a lot about a persons online reputation just by googling the E-Mail they include in their post. ( Given the E-Mail is the one they frequently use )

 

Good idea in theory, but refer to Meeder1's post.
