Ok so i'm about to go on a long rant and go off on some stuff I've been sitting on for a while. First of all, the rules to this site pertaining to "dealing" have quite a few loopholes that i'm sick off.
To start, and what this thread is mostly about is "Offsite dealing". If you can use your brain that was given to you the loophole should be easy to find. If i wanted due to how the rule is worded it would be fine for me to go on a scamming spree offsite (In aim chats, on Xbox (Scamming other members on Xbox of course), or on any social medium site etc) with no consequence because it was a off site deal (It's considered offsite unless you PM through this site). I mean of course you would get a fat repfuck (Getting all your rep removed and neg'd (Look at all these lovely parenthesis)) but if you ask me that's a lot better than getting banned.
(Edit: I am writing this near the end of finishing my thread, let me reword this a tad bit. If a item is being sold on FK and gets scammed for offsite, the person who scammed for it offsite should still be scammed because they came here and saw the item so it kinda is onsite)
Secondly, the rule on selling turboing tags needs to be changed. Say i had the tag God and i swapped it and it got turbo'd, then another member bought the turbo'd tag and tried selling it on here it should be against the rules right? Well it is but it's not; The rule says turbo'd tags can't be sold here, but the rule is often overlooked because a "legit" member buys it from the turbo'er and tries selling it. I propose that if a tag ever gets turbo'd from a member here who was registered at the time of it being turbo'd should not be able to be sold. Or even possibly if a tag gets turbo'd and it comes into a members hands that is legit, enforce a 3 month grace period for example before you can sell it. So if i bought a sick tag that got turbo'd i wouldn't be able to resell it till the 17th of December of this year. Get what i mean?
TLR If something that is being currently sold on FK gets scammed for offsite, the scammer should still be banned because they found the item through this site. Get rid of the "If it's offsite" rule, it's just a stupid way for scammers to get around getting banned. Scammers belong on HF, and idiots belong on Scythe and we don't need them here.
For the second rule a turbo'd tag should NOT EVER be able to be sold on here, or give the turbo'd tag a grace period before it can be re sold. If a tag gets turbo'd today, it should never be able to be resold or the owner should have to wait say 3 months to be able to sell it. So they would have to wait till Dec. 17th 2013 to re sell that turbo'd tag. (Edit: Obviously the final grace period won't be 3 months, but it will be something if their is a grace period)
Who's with me?
