Ridiculous rule.

[Chaos]

No thanks because I would of had like 10 of them if that rule existed.

Ok it's harder than I thought it would be to find a way of giving evidence that has not been tampered with. Someone mentioned having middle men, I think that would be a fantastic way of stopping scammers. But who could be the middle man? And if it was someone like nvr and he ran of with the items he could easily get away with it because who would everyone believe? Obviously nvr wouldn't do such thing but someone else might, no matter how trusted they are around here.

Imo it should start off as admin & possibly forum mods not individual section mods. People like Catzsy if they are willing to do it. And then from their experiences or who they trust have it ADMIN choose who gets onto the trusted list. Even if its like 10 members on it max. At least the admin trust them meaning there is less chance of scams. And i doubt people who are like nvr would run anyway. There are other forums with successful MM who deal with like 500£ at a time and none of them run. Its just a matter of finding people who you can trust. [Not because they are rich] But like admin and staff.

Hairs on your body? Dw that comes with puberty.



As far as middlemen, we could look into instituting a system but if Habbox endorsed it it would be problematic if middlemen ever "went sour" so to speak. I do know of extremely trusted members of staff who went rogue, one of the most prominent examples being >Max< from loong ago. Though this doesn't happen often, if it does it could be problematic.

Its too difficult to ascertain who's telling the truth to allow people to accuse each other of scamming imo.

If habbox had middlemen wouldn't that mean habbox would be taking responsibility for trades which were previously "at your own risk"? That seems a bit risky because it could give habbox a reputation as scammers should things to wrong.

I got a PM for saying that a user that used to be called rbbs scammed luke.

Then when i said if I did that and io was staff I would be fired - strange I have not got an answer to that :rolleyes:

Habbox could say that they will not take responsibility for any scamming middle men, but even then if a MM scammed it would still give habbox a reputation as scammers.

Yes

Yes

I was PM'd for accusing a member of scamming. The user that DID scam, No I am not accusing I am TELLING is habbox staff. And I was pointing out if I was the one that scammed, and I was staff I am sure the certain management member that I know you do not like either, would have fired me.

There will always be scammers, and really everyone is a scammer, it just depends on how much it is. Some may scam 1HC but if you were to MM a trade for 5000$ im sure most would take it. If you'd like to warn other forum members simply PM them, and don't write it on there threads, easy as that.
