Ideas to reduce scamming

[bubble79]

You know that quicker scam where someone pyut in an item of furni and says 'you've got to be quicker to tick' or something along these lines. Surely a very simple way of making this happen less is if every trade had a kind of 'are you sure' box after you'd clicked on agree, like the box that comes up if they don't put any furni in. If they kind of like had a box that says Are you sure you want to do this trade?, so yo can still see the trade box this owuld make it far ahrder to get scammed like that, because if they replaced a pillow with a doormat ior hc with a pod or something, then you would notice.

Another thing, that would probably be harder to do is find a way to trade for credits safely, because although they say that you shouldn't, loads of people still do. Couldn't they do this by buying like a gift voucher of credits, that could be traded as furni and says how many credits it has on it, like 15 or 35 or soemthing, and then it can just be cashed in to make credits. Why hasn;'t habbo found a way, possible this, possibly someething else to trade for credits safely?

I like your ideas. The quicker scam one, good thinking. When you try to agree in the trade, a pop up will come up, and it will say like, "Are you sure you want to trade your (Furni) for the other person's (furni)?" So the pop up actually names the furni, so it will make it more clearer.

And yeah, I like your vouncher code idea too, and if someone puts in a code that has already been used, then the trade box is will closed automatically and an alert will be sent and it will say like "That code has already been used."

And Sulake doesn't make these things because they're lazy, or never thought of it. You should send these ideas via Habbo Help tool.

The quicker one wouldn't even require hardly any work fror Sulake. They wouldn't even really need to name the furni, because I thought of tjhat but then decided that if it was ahrd they wouldn't do it . If they just made the box so that ypu could see the trade box behind it,.

It's a nice idea. Kind of like the Runescape thing? It tells you what you're trading. Problem is.. People still fail to look at the list and press "OK" and still get scammed. x_x

I reckon its a brilliant idea, as it gives you a chance to see if what your trading for is what your expecting so u can cancel, as opposed to being scammed by quicktrading first time around, i got quick traded on my throne and that would have definately helped, i was stupid lol's :rolleyes:. Like, Herman said said them to habbo, its an awesome idea + rep

[bubble79]

I'm not quite rich enough to have thrones, so I've only been caught out on this scam with a smoke, but I think if you had to press 2 buttons to pass a trade then it would cut down things. Thanks for the rep
