Name Sniping Rules

[Fendle]

Luring is scamming, you're abusing your trust someone has for you. Just like a real life money trade if you scam you abuse the trust.

If a name is sniped I've proved this week that you can get it back if you email jagex, but you need to be the OO of the account. However, I still think sellers can get some protection.

Then maybe staff should consider making luring a bannable offence or at least luring Sythe members a bannable or temporarily bannable offense. We can't just use the "RS allows it" or "RS disallows it" argument to justify something that's just as bad as scamming. Using the argument that it's the person's fault for not being careful and it's part of the game trickery can also be used to make scamming seem less malicious. And my least favorite reasoning is that it brings in traffic. I'm sure hacking and child porn would also bring more traffic to the website, but that's not what Sythe stands for.

The fact that the staff just shrugs off luring pisses me off and has pissed me off for quite a while.

Luring sythe members is banable if they lured them using the forums.

If you have proof that someone is sniping names from another Sythe user, post it in the Report a Scammer section and a moderator will assess the report. Thanks everyone.
