Naming Scammers Campaign

[Youheard]

maybe hire some staff on the forum to go to all the trades?

Then you have to trust the Staff member. Just because someone is Habbox Staff doesnt make them 100% safe. Also these sort of trades are against Runescape rules which could get Habbox Forum in trouble with Jagex.

oh yeah well like i said before i was just making suggestions

how about a friend of the person who was going first or something i dunno :s

The only way to stop people scamming is to stop people trust trading. As this won't happen scammers will carry on scamming without being named.

i have a statement in my sig but i agree.

Lol, that statement will get you banned if you keep doing it.

It would actually quite hard to edit a screenshot to make it actually look real as you need to have the correct colours in the correct place, same type of font. If you take a screeshot of anyplace in runescape then zoom into it you will see each individual pixel, I'm not saying it can't be done but it would take about a hour.
So say we did a trade and it all went well and I decided to accuse you of scamming me I would have to make everyone believe me that and make up some rubbish that the screenshots are taking ages to upload, people would figure out whats happend.

Are you psychic?

Yes, maybe create a thread where you could post the names of people who scammed along with video/picture evidence and maybe have a nuetral person watching the trade.

Yes, I'm psychic.

It's very easy to edit a screenshot, Neil proved that with the moparscape picture below. Videos could be made using moparscape aswell, if you got a good server with the same NPC's on the right places as the real rs then you can make everybody look like a scammer.

o.O
how about, since there's a trusted list!
they make a Non-trusted list?
you need like least 2 screenies they scammed, 4 people to say? er some proof? ! it's stupid that you cant name scammers.

Doesn't work, same reason as mentioned above.

Not rly, if you got called a scammer, you'd argue, which is what MOD's don't want

Exactly.

Hence the reason he said "you need like 2 screenies they scammed, 4 people to say?" Also if you read my first post it would say about proof.

Once again, proof is very easy to make.

I'm very good at modding RS pics, I don't scam but I can do it, VERY few noticable errors either

This trade NEVER happened, it was not made to use for scamming just proof that pictures can easily be modified

Very nice example.

Those people could scam too and I don't think anybody would want to go to all those little trades.

alot of people on habbox forum would like to have a job on here so why not hire people to go to all trades? could have a little forum on it and there could be a set place to where all trades take place? or they have to go to the place where the person who is wittnessing the trade so they dont have to stop what there doing?

They can and will scam too. Also, it's not Habbox's responsibility, it's yours.

One person could say I didn't get the money, or something, and will cause arguments. Mods on forum don't see trade log.

if you're saying anybody can go from being safe and trusted to being a scammer then surely it's kind of contradictive having a safe list?

[Shoovers]

Despute, they could trade the person who is watching to show the items that they traded

No, but no one knows who is trusted really or not say if Mickey was doing a 10 bphat he could just crack and scam

So no one really knows

Hardly any Moparscape servers have the NPC's in the correct positions now. Also as I said before it would take awhile to find a Moparscape server, set up the trade and then upload the screenshots.
People would figure out the accuser is lying, they are not stupid.

Pretty good point but i agree that proof can be edited/faked easily so its a tricky subject tbh
