Do not do this. Mediating without an official mediator tag is forbidden and will result in punitive action being taken against your account.


In reply to the OP:

False accusations do happen from time to time, especially when users get scammed by IN GAME impersonations (where the scammer claims to be a different d2jsp user) - the fact that this causes a "false" accusation is not the fault of the person who makes the SA, as they do believe that they were scammed by the person they claim to. We close this topics in a way that it's evident that the user who was accused was not actually the one that scammed.

However, intentional false accusations in an attempt to get someone locked / defame their character are taken very seriously, and serious consequences are taken against users that maliciously do this.

I had someone false accuse me for two days over me commenting on a post of his after he bought an item from me trying to pressure me to sell instantly just so he can repost. Maybe bad on my part as well, but can simply report my comment. He continued to flame over 20 posts of mine saying I was a scammer and not to scam me and continued to share his contrived story of how I scammed his friend in game and had zero proof of what happened.

It's absolutely pathetic and sad nothing happens from this. Over a 3-day span, I shared every single post in the accusation thread, messaged 3 different moderators stating someone would get to it, as well as all posts and communications between us and nothing happened other than him making me have to get a mediator for every trade for two days due to people assuming I'm a scammer. I really hope they do implement something for this because it's sad that some of these GROWN ASS ADULTS who don't see day light can do this with zero repercussions whatsoever.

I’m sorry you went through that.

So I haven’t been accused or anything but I read a lot of the S/A topics just to kind of keep an eye on stuff and there are A LOT of false accusations, no proof topics and simply assumptions on it. I think these need to come with a forum warn % when people pull that kind of stuff. I’ve seen some pretty reputable people get accused by new players who have no clue how d2jsp works or are simply too ignorant to read up on things before diving in to the trade forums.

Yeah it sucks and nothing came of it. Not a moderator comment, not a warn on the accuser, nothing. Then when I defended myself in the SA section, I got flamed even more saying I was harassing and spamming his post.

It sucks because unfortunately, there are not punishments for these false accusations at all and that’s the bottom line.
