New Members Sales

Boltage · May 6, 2014

I've seen several sales by new members that appear out of nowhere. Many new members only take BTC and that is very strange. I think a MM should be forced upon with new members just so no one risks a huge scam! New members that deal with other new members could easily be scammed as well. I don't know if this could happen or anything I just hate when members with no posts or reputation just appear out of nowhere and sell things for hundreds of dollars.

You can't really enforce this. It's their own damn fault if they choose not to use an MM.

Most of these users probably came from the other forum.

Yea but many are multi accounters. They come to the site with nothing and expect to sell shit for 300 BTC. They should be forced to used a MM.

I still don't think you can really enforce it. MM'ing deals is a hassle.

It could be a sort of job for staff or for someone? It will prevent many scams!

That it will. But you have to think about the person that all these deals will have to go through. They'd spend 90% of their MM'ing deals. It would be nice if we had a trade system.

Like the user posts the Username/Password of the account their selling, Staff checks and approves it if its working, then it gets put on the market where other users can buy them up with Koins or something.

But there are problems with that as well.

I didnt ask for a smart ass remark. I asked for thoughts on this.

It's a good idea, but I don't see how it'd be implemented as Narc said.

How am I being a smart ass? I'm just telling you straight up that this is virtually impossible.

If new members don't want to use mm it's on them. Plus staff are busy enough as if I don't think they want to deal with multi account scammers. Sorry man doesn't look like something FK needs.

You're right. Lets just let scammers roam the site thanks for your opinion

I'm a new member and I don't think mm should ever be enforced. Maybe I'm just biased cause I'm a new member, but just because someone is an old member doesn't mean they wouldn't scam either. Its happened a lot, old members scam people then they just disappear.

There are scammers everywhere you go, including real life. You just have to take the precautions your self to not get scammed. There will always and forever be scammers, we cant stop that.

Boltage · May 6, 2014

My idea was that maybe we can have someone that is trusted that can MM. (only if they're willing to do it)

Im stating a good way to stop many of them

But we can't force new members to use mm? What if they are from another site and are trusted?

In his defense, if I was forced to use staff to middleman a deal with a newer member I was sketched on, I wouldn't be comfortable. I'd rather use someone I know who specializes in that area and knows what they're doing.

This is, however, a terrible suggestion. As time has shown, it doesn't matter how long you've been here, anyone can scam. Just don't be stupid and you'll be okay.

Who said staff should MM, I've seen more corruption on the staff team than FK's regs. gg

This is equal to forcing gay guys to date/marry girls.

What I am trying to say it is their choice what they want to do.
