Nobody reported zephyr to have scammed but he still got banned.
I believe Plznate reported his pm where he explains how pretty much all merch clans work and that they involve some kind of scam or deceitful behavior
Nobody reported zephyr to have scammed but he still got banned.
I feel so confused because on one hand you layed down the law with zephyr and his merchin. On the other hand Plznate doing THE EXACT same thing because what is selling ranks?... its giving you the right to early stock on an item before everyone els in the public cc.. What is plznate doing? he's cutting ranks but goes straight to selling stock. Nobody reported zephyr to have scammed but he still got banned....
What comes across adamantly is the simple pure fact that if you have a certain amount of vouches and that you are a sythe postaholic you may reach a stage that plznate has and become above any rules or regulations. Because it certainly feels that he can get away with murder on this site.
Lol so you want to play that card Plznate.
I'll brb i'll construct a reply later on this is for keeping my spot.
I'm not in the position to make insane arguments, but isn't this how 90% of the merch clans work? To date, I only know two merch clans which I know are legit ones that don't dump on the public.
I do not see why a TwC would be needed? Selling ranks in a merch cc is a very lucrative business and most people I know that have bought merch ranks in the past are all pretty satisfied about them and shouldn't be considered scamming at all? I believe dumping early on the public isn't either... The only people that are affected are merch clan members that aren't necessarily affilliated to Sythe, people joining these clans will have made some profits and getting rid of their crashing stock has to happen anyways; wether it be at dump price or before dump price...
It's not a very honorable way of making money on the advantage of others, I agree to that, but why should we care about morality on RuneScape all of a sudden? Luring has always been tolerated on Sythe (I've based this statement on a guide I've found here) which is in my eyes way more severe than dumping early.
Still under discussion. I am seeking a ban for 100% of merch rank sales. PLznate is exempt as he isn't selling ranks.
It should be: Everybody is exempt that doesn't sell ranks, but only sells merch stock.
Everybody should have the same rights.

If he got banned for doing what every merch clan does I don't think the selling of merch cc ranks should be allowed on Sythe. Every merch clan technically scams the public as they do dump before they inform the public non-ranks or they dump below the price they tell these non-ranks to dump the item at.
True, but basically he its just selling the "status" you can do anything with that status.
Its like donating to get 100$ donator rank...( it would be easier to scamm being 100$ donator... cuz people trust them more, dont say no its true).
Sythe just gives you the rank, but he its not responsabile if you scamm or not.
We have had many examples of ranked people scamming, but we still have ranks.
Do not support.
Not trying to kill Plznate's business, but going through the last 200 pages with the words of "merch stock" shows a pretty bleak view of people selling merch stock. They are people selling what they claim to own all of it, even though there's another 3-4 thread with people having 60k of the item, people selling crashing items just to get rid of it, selling stock that doesn't reach the goal, and much more...
People claiming they own all the items:

To me, this should be allowed, as the guy selling might need the money for something important. Also, what's telling him that you're not allowed to buy and sell items you have paid for. It's like buying and reselling account, totally allowed.

Now you might say Plznate will do it differently, but what happens if 2 private clans merch the same item, and the other clan dumps before Plznate's clan? The item will crash and everybody in Plznate's clan would be scammed. Plznate would have to pay everybody back, so they'll get back with real life money, but loose their runescape money.

Read it carefully this time. It clearly says, "tyring to sell merch stock" not if the merch went anywhereI find it slightly abnormal to call my uncut red topaz " a merch that went nowhere"... when infact i had 890m of topaz at cost of 287 each. Then i brought them from 287 to 1777 each ( at the point where i couldnt take them any further because of financial reasons) so you basically do 890m x 6
thats 5300m but since it was a Duo i made around 2.4b profit from it.
So please remind me what gives you the bloody right to tell me it went nowhere when i made 100x your bank.
This was a member who bought stock from me and charged back the paypal funds.
Lol trust me, its not possible for two clans, unless they are working together or have the same owner, to manage to stock the same item.
Not saying your wrong really, but every merch clan on Sythe has failed, so I would support if they so no selling ranks on Sythe. Merch stock, people should buy at their own risk, in the same fashion they should choose carefully who they buy gold from.
I think selling stock is perfectly fine but selling ranks hasn't gone over to well here so I'm for banning them
