Ridiculous rule.

[nvrspk4]

Yeh I agree with you Jake, but if it was all done through a Mod and the Mod posted it without naming the person that got scammed, reputation would not come into it. But even then we have the fake evidence situation, surely we can find a way around that?

Can we? If you have a solution this is certainly the forum to post it, if you do come up with a good solution we'd definitely take a hard look at it.

I agree with everything here! It's a good rule as even though 'reputation' is only for an online game it doesn't matter that much. I think it's more the angry feeling I'd get of someone accusing you of scamming rather than the topic. Those 'SCAMMER' rooms on Habbo that people make annoy you because of the lies rather than the room itself.

As for the bold bit, I think people would be more likely to believe an ex-AGM as it normally comes down to 'reputation' so yeah, I'd rather this rule stayed for those with less of a reputation.

why dont habbox suggest certain 'middlemen' who would be known to be trusted and as a 'payment' they get habbox donator. this way when a trades taking place, the tradees summon a middleman then go from there

I *believe* there is a safe traders list, so if they weren't on there you could ask a safe trader to be the middleman.

I established a safe traders list for the Habbo Trading Forum when I first became a Mod. That was over a year ago now and I think it got unstuck because with the Habbo exchange and new trading rules on Habbo it became obsolete. Perhaps another could be established and well maintained in the runescape forum?

this forum is so stupid. the rule is ridiculous imo.. look at other forums they dont have this stupid rule and there is no threads accusing people of scamming. even if there was a thread accusing somebody of scamming - who cares? this isnt a forum where you trade money for items e.t.c and if somebody says it will ruin their reputation - lool a reputation on habbo... omg sad

I know im no relevence to this thread but its not only runescape which needs middlemen and a safe traders list.

Things like Trading inbetween different hotels and maybe even simple things like trading that super rare habbo tower trophy "Blank" could do with safe traders list.

But imo a middlemen list would be SO much better. Wouldnt have to worry about people scamming ect. Even if it started out as forum admin or mods doing safe trading.


Also the forums about other online games for habbo ect.

This is a forum related to Habbo. People enjoy playing the game and wouldn't appreciate their reputation being ruined for something they actively play every day. Just because YOU don't play it I know when you played it daily yourself so that's a bit hypocritical.

It's not nice to name and shame people. They do change, and you wouldn't like being singled out for something negative. It's classed as bullying too, really.

Maybe the rule should be changed to "continously accusing someone of scamming". Can be easily done with usernotes.

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.
