Why I don't trust ranks or post counts

[blindkilla]

Hm, if you take that perspective you would never be able to trust anyone in the world, not even your own family.

He isn't talking about the real world. This is just for sythe/forums. People obviously gauge trust differently in real life.

What's people off ebay to stop stealing your real world items? Because you get a tracker when sending irl stuff so you can see if it's been recieved... It's the same concept.

I'm not here for the black market... this isnt a forum just to sell stuff, even though it is a big part of it.
I do have a few things im selling yes, but I won't be sending anything without payment or to someone I don't trust.

then what's the point in this thread? If you don't trust official middlemen, approved by staff, then that's your fault.

 

I don't believe Daily was ever admin. Global at most, afaik.

That's what happens when you blindly trust anyone. :-(

He was an admin for like 3 days IIRC.

Daily was an admin for a day.

I wouldn't necessarily say the majority of these people scammed, a sum of them requested their bans or were hacked. Though yes, some scammed.

 

[pure skillzz]

Awe man I never knew daily was banned. He was cool, but yep. I don't trust anyone either. If the right opportunity came rolling around. All of us would take it and run.

 

[ImPrettyCool]

Why was daily banned?

 

[obstinato10]

daily did seem pretty cool.
But it is true, if the opportunity came our way to scam and be behind a computer screen and only get banned from a website, I bet most of us would take it.

Then don't trade with people you don't know.

As you said, you don't know why those people were banned.

 

[obstinato10]

wow stop commenting on just what I said.
are people stopping half way just to say hey your wrong or leave if you dont trust people.

Those people were banning for breaking a rule..
would you trust a killer with getting you finance?
just because he killed someone doesn't mean he will steal my ID
You break one rule there is a bigger chance you would break another

What the hell is your point?

If you don't trust someone don't trade with them.

But that is the problem right there. I am assuming you are a legit seller, and that you wouldn't scam anyone. Yet, if you found someone with identical opinions and views, who wanted to buy your items, also legit. Then, you would never be able to come to an agreement, since neither of you would go first.

There needs to be some sort of system that means someone will go first, otherwise it will just be a stalemate. Staff ranks etc is one of the systems used, like anything, it has its flaws. Always, someone has to make the first move.

its all about the vouches!

 

[lacuna]

Trust vouches

Right.
And some of them got banned because of Infraction. (Gravedigging, Flameing, Spamming)
Just 'cause they did one of those three, doesn't mean not to trust them.

I'm a friendly consumer.

 

[puma1995]

use some common sense, if a deal sounds too good to be true, don't go through. If you feel unesasy, use an OMM.

 

[RecoveryKing]

and its very easy for someone to just say, hey it got lost in the post and get away with it.

Anyone who sends something through regular mail is an idiot, and all other ways to send stuff have tracking systems that prove the package arrived.

You can only speak for yourself.

I'm sure a lot of people including myself would not take that opportunity.

 

[obstinato10]

If you had to pick. $4000 or this site.
Alot of people would take the money.
And that's not an unrealistic number

If by a lot of people you mean yourself? then yes. There's people that make more than that here on sythe, and I am one of them.
