Should offsite scammers be banned?

[Shadow]

It all depends honestly. If you're scamming on hache eff, then yes you should not be allowed here, if you're scamming randoms then no, but if you're scamming randoms enough to wear we hear about how "1337 of a skeemer" you are, then probably. This is a hard topic to answer, but i've never even scammed anyone, not even on XBL so idek.

If you noticed at every single one of my 2 thousand posts I don't give a shit about grammar on a website < Philly needs to make a thread about welcoming new members and how to deal properly if the new member decides not to read it then its there own fault.

It takes two minutes to PM to seal the deal.

I don't care about your grammar either. What I care about is the hypocrisy.

I say no. Although it really does reflect the inner values and morals of the user who scammed, it wasn't on the site so they don't deserve the ban. A warning that they scammed would suffice, but a ban is too much.

Who is to say that anyone will or won't scam? No one. So as long as they don't scam in the community I am apart of, then I don't care.

And @"Michael", how would we even no if someone scammed a random on Xbox?

And people are making a huge deal out of an extremely solvable issue. All you must do is take five seconds to send a single PM. I don't understand why this concept of sending just one PM to make a deal on-site is so hard for so many people to grasp.

Nice. People can scam on other forums as much as they want and then come here with no consequences. Sounds like a real recipe for success. If we want to help protect our community, we would ban these people. Sure, you generally don't know who will scam and who will not but what if we were to remove those members that have a history of scamming? Would that not help protect the community? Once an offsite scammer has been banned, if they can show character reform they should be allowed back to FK. Or we can just keep doing it the way it currently is. After all, ignorance is bliss.

Usually the people that scam all the time are not the nicest of people but that doesn't mean they should be banned. If they scam offsite I think it doesn't involve fk so no, I don't think they should be banned.

I think that scamming is OK if the person has no connection with FK. Also, if it's on THE OTHER SITE it's fine

I think it is pretty clear who won this thread. (@JohnnyG)
