Naming Scammers

[Kieeran]

I didn't know where to put this because i wanted other people to be able to post.

But don't you think we should be able to name scammers i mean if we don't there just going to scam more people?

I know you could just name scammers to spite thembut if you have picture proof or vid proof then surely it should be acceptable? i have alot of infractions from naming scammers from ding trades in the runescape section. I know it's our fault for trading but at least after we've made our mistake of being scammed at least warn others?

Post your opinions etc.
MODs please read as well.

In my opinion naming scammers will only cause more and more arguements. Also pictures (especially Runescape pictures) are very easily edited. If you aren't prepared to be scammed then you shouldn't undertake in trust trades.

Well editng thems pretty pathetic. But i can see where your coming from.

I think its stupid tbh, Because say i could go on rs bit then scam 5m scam another 5m scam 2m scam another 500k or something.. No one would be able to say i scam so i could keep scamming getting millions :S, Obviously i dont scam as its lame but its stupid that you cant say the scammers.

I know what you mean, but I dissagree.

[Kieeran]

Well thats yo7ur opinion. im not going to disagree. just expressing my opinion :)

[:Jamie]

Disagree along with the load of other threads ive disgareed with thats been posted here, maybe use the search feature and you answer your own question that way.

You can actually name a scammer, indirectly. If you say so and so scams in a thread, your post will be edited with, please do not accuse members of scamming, this means that people that read your post know you've accused them of scamming, which is ok if you don't mind an infraction omg i'm so clever.

There's a good arguement for and against naming scammers, so might as well just leave it as it is.

people coul accuse people of scamming when they didn't do it and give them a bad name.

Exactly and that's what would happen if someone had a grudge against somebody. We would be in a worse position than now. People who do scam and undoubtably this does go on could target innocent members to distract peopple away from themselves. People trade on this forum at their own risk and it is up to them to be really careful who they trade with. If in doubt don't trade. Habbox only give people the opportunity to trade on the forum they are not responsible for what happens.

This thread has been repeated loads of times before, and habbox have made it clear that theyre not going to change it. Although I disagree, theres not a lot I can do (or any of us for that matter) so we might as well let it drop. If you get scammed, just dont trade with that person again or alert someone he/she is about to trade with via PM.

I will probably refer people to this post (http://www.habboxforum.com/showpost.php?p=2484880&postcount=4) every time they comment on naming scammers. Jin sums it up in that post perfectly, and I would suggest reading it ;).

Aparently the risk of someone going through a video frame-by-frame to edit it to ruin someone's rep is too great -.-

I really think that post should be given a infraction, she is accusing alot of people of scamming and making a screen shot.

[Axel]

I think it would probably be alright with video proof. No one would make the effort editing a video to make it look like they scammed.
