Not really, Most people with 1 Posts Want to Trade BIG for Scamming, But other People who Actually are Not Scammers gotta Build there Way up with Trust from Training Accounts , Questing , Etc.

Oh well then, once you get scammed by a person who joined 10 minutes ago, you'll realise.

 

[S3xpert]

Only dumb people would trade people with 50 posts or less and with no trades.
What Rs2 meant is to avoid trading people that has no trades and recently joined.

R2's policy is fine... I myself have been scammed by new players, as well as players that gain like 500+ posts in 3-5 months.

and avoid trading new members who do not have previous trades on Sythe.

I believe R2 is willing to do trades with those members as long as they are willing to go first which would remove the possibility of them scamming. Unfortunately, most new members either are scamming and will not go first or are new here and don't know that they can trust him and therefore aren't willing to go first.

I don't see any reason why R2 wouldn't trade with a new member as long as they went first so it shouldn't really be a problem if you're not scamming.

Anyone on Sythe is capable of scamming. However, new members do pose a greater risk. First of all, they have no ties to the community and therefore no external incentive to be honest. Secondly, many of them have been banned before.

R2p's advice is reasonable: use caution when trading with them, and, if you do trade, look for positive feedback from other members.

But, that's all it is: advice. It will not prevent leechers from getting trades.
