Bar and Pub needs a Rules sticky, raising awareness that loans are against site rules and providing potential loaners with facts such as statistics that may deter them from being scammed.

This may be an unconventional suggestion but it is a necessary one, otherwise, S/A will continue to be flooded with bar and pub loan scams.


Currently, over half of scams in S/A are loan scams. For reference,

16 out of 20 topics in S/A right now are in reference to Bar and Pub forum.

14 out of 20 topics currently in Scammers Accusations, are in reference to loan scams.

First off, let me say I voted yes......but here's the reality:

This is similar to people saying there are ways to decrease to jail/prison population (which there are and they would work) but you never hear the people that own/run the jail/prisons (some jails are privately owned not sure about prisons) complaining.

Less population=less revenue

You already had a topic about banning loans get closed and this just looks like you providing a different way to post this again. https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=96320856

Loans are prevalent because they're being bumped due to giving the people who took loans time to pay back before being locked. The trading ones get closed and pushed to the back after the case is solved. A sticky will not stop compulsive gamblers and scammers from taking loans or loaners giving them to make a quick buck.

*a sticky gets created: "loans are against the rules"*
*all of sudden the s/a forums become empty and can be closed*

...and they lived happily ever after.

Maybe we should put stickies in cars so users know not to drink and drive.
