Along with disputes

Whatever, I keep that up-to-date, along with spammer reports.

I'm moving house atm, so I haven't been active for the last few days or last weekend, or this week, or this weekend coming.

And now its 16+ pages -.-

Surely there are another moderators that can do it apart from me.

I used to do them a lot. I liked it.

You just wanted to get your post count up.

 

[TDD]

I have not the time for such trivial things.

Yet you care about your spam report? How nice.

No one cares about your scammer report.

You replied hastily with a sort of repugnance to my post. I was merely stating a fact that was relating to the topic of this thread. No need to be rude Deacon.

Spam reports are over 9000 times more important than scam reports.

Your exaggeration is quite extreme, do you want scammers on this site earning some victim's trust, then stealing their personal belongings? I, myself, do not think spam reports are a lot more important than scam reports; but that might just be my opinion.
In my point of view, I'd rather have a bit more spam than a bit more scammers lurking through this site looking for their next vulnerable victim.

However, SPAMMING affects the forum directly, SCAMMING only affects the person who was scammed .


Therefore, for the forum's sake, SPAM reports are more important as a whole.

People think it's Sythe.org's job to make a safer community, or to remove scammers. No, it's your fault for getting scammed, not ours. They'll be removed in time.

However, Spammers are a burden to everyone.

I understand your point of view, but think of it this way. If a scammer successfully scams one person and does not recieve the expected punishment for it, he/she will think he/she can do it again without getting caught. This is natural human nature that exists in nearly anyone. As the saying goes, "once a thief, always a thief".

An uncaught scammer poses a threat to the directly whole of this society, especially to those who are not knowledgeable enough to use anti-scam measures to protect themselves. Who may be the next unsuspecting victim?

No one cares about your scammer report.

An apology would be greatfully accepted...

Who gives a fuck! they are doing their job,better then youyll ever do :laugh:

 

[Macroman]

People are too ignorant to Use MM's thus they get scammed... Their fault we can only do so much its up the the traders.

You will receive no apology for your foolishness in being scammed.

If you are not well enough knowledgeable to not be scammed, then you deserve to be scammed. A scammer poses no threat to the community at all, simply to those who are ill-prepared morons who do not take the necessary precautions when trading.

If a staff member, or a middleman, or someone important scams, they are dealt with PROMPTLY, but if a random person is found to be a scammer by another random person, the report is not so important.


Scammers do not threaten me, nor several of the other frequent veterans to the site, they simply impose the possibility of a newfag being scammed. Anyone who knows anything knows who to trust, and who to not trust.

Furthermore, spamming does affect me as I am annoyed by it. I do not play RuneScape, nor does a majority of respected veterans, therefore spamming affects them, whereas scamming does not.

Which in fact increases my point of spam reports are more important than scam reports.

Are you implying that you do not care for the majority of the Sythe society?

People get scammed because they do not use MM; they don't use MM because they usually trust the other person. This is where the scammer comes in, he/she thrives building up their trust and then scamming when the time is right and the amount to be scammed is worth their ban. (if they even get banned). Scammers are a threat to sythe because they cause fear in the legitimate traders. They also cause many people on sythe to become furious at having lost their money and time.


Why did Deacon Frost get banned? Why are some of his posted deleted in this thread? I'm totally confused, I thought Deacon was trustworthy.

Spam reports.

People who get scammed are usually just too dumb. For example, http://www.sythe.org/showthread.php?t=482062

If you're seriously gonna pay that much for virtual shit, you can at least use an MM.
