[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]Posting this so people can understand something:[/font]

[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]Often times, people post scam reports for obvious reason:[/font]

[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]- In hopes to have them resolved[/font]
[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]- To make others aware and warn that said person is a scammer[/font]

[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]Anyway, I know it's always the best interest to have the scam report resolved. However, this thread is regarding scammers who go on scamming sprees [ examples: @tiger @carson @terror squad etc etc ].[/font]

[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]If I see a person who has multiple scam reports open on them,  I will instantly ban them to prevent futher scams. In my opinion, this will be a safe way to save other members who hav yet to see the scam reports from being scammed. [/font]

[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]Though I intend to instantly ban said members, note I will of course inform them to contact me offsite if they do have intentions to resolve these. However note: often times when a member has multiple scam reports on them, they never resolve them. Just look at all the members who had multiple scam reports that went un-resolved....[/font]

[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]I'm leaving this open as I'd like to hear your opinions on the matter. [/font]

[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]Should I just ban said members to prevent further scams?[/font]
[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]Or should they be given a chance to resolve the report? (Just acknowledge that often times people who go on scamming sprees almost never do).[/font]

[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]*excuse any typos I'm on my phone*[/font]

Just ban them right away. For example, if the report shows the user didn't respond after info was sent after a certain amount of time, just ban them to prevent anything else from happening just a suggestion then have them message you and blah blah to resolve.

Just keep an eye on the ps4 section.
its full of multis, scammers, and sketchy people.
You, chill and colour are pretty generous to scammers. You give them chances.

I'd like to think I'm not, I tend to ban them instantly then Chill cries that they should be given a chance to refund, so I unban them. Then a week later they scam again.

Also , if it were my choice, we wouldn't have a PSN section.

You should ban them and have them resolve it over Kik with you and the other member before they are unbanned to prevent the suspected scammer to scam multiple people at a time.

I think you should ban them, especially if they have the same ip.

Also you should let them to resolve it, but they would need to contact you off site etc

Ban them instantly. if they decided to scam I the first place, that's their own fault and shouldn't be given another chance as they will most likely scam again.

I believe strongly it's the best way to prevent others from being scammed.

Guess you gotta ban yourself, I gave you my heart and got nothing in return.
