    Report A Scammer Section

    Sorry Sythe, but I'm having bad feedback on the 'Report A Scammer' section. There's people viewing them, but not doing anything about it. Mods only view like 2-3 of the threads and actually post and leave the others hanging like it doesn't even exist. Same person gets reported by like 5 different people and the person still isn't banned. I mean what the fuck is up with that.

    You're obviously new here but you'd be surprised how many of these are posted per day

    I know personally that mods are on top of the reports and that they take quite a bit of time to look through and come to a quality decision

    If you don't have the proper proof, they won't even look into it

    There needs to be a much better system of publishing newly added threads like giving specific guidelines as to how to write it WITHOUT LOOKING AT STICKIES

    Ok, I agree with the proper proof thingy. But come on. There are like 6 people reporting Violence and he hasn't been banned. I can view his threads right now and see that he has been scamming since January.

    Interesting

    I did business with him recently and he tried to squeeze extra money out of my partner and I

    I'll check that out specifically and make sure a mod gets a hold of it, provided the proof is more than sufficient

    Alright, thank you. I joined Sythe selling my UGC. On the first 3 hours of joining Sythe, I was already scammed. So I was a bit pissed

    Not a problem

    There's no where near enough proof to bust him so far. I did see a similar offence with just about as much proof as your provided.

    There are certain things you need to do to provide accurate proof, such as taking a complete screen shot that captures proof of their MSN email.

    Read this guide that Tengauge 12 wrote and I assisted him with

    If you have any further questions, please contact me via PM or MSN [email protected]

    P.S. Always request a private message from people you do business with, use a middle man to balance the trade such as myself, and never go first

    Also don't expect other people to go first when you just start out

    You need to build a reputation before anyone goes first to you

    Your best bet is to use a trusted middle man, not anyone that claims to be a trusted middle man

    Look at their vouches thoroughly, not the number of vouches they have or the space their vouches take up

    Hello.

    I am sorry to hear that you feel the individual whom you persume to be a scammer has not been banned.

    I from experiance know for a fact that the scammer reports are infact always being taken care of as well as they can be, there is numerious of reports daily which the majority of them not containing enough proof and just being a waste of time.

    Especially when individuals post alot of pictures, and not any of the pictures after reading them show any type of proof. Which makes reviewing more diffacult.

    I do apologize that you feel this way, but I promise you, sir. They are being taken care of as well as they can be.

    I appreciate and thank you for your concern!

    Have a wonderful night, sir.
