person doesnt really need to get locked, if mods can look at ones gold logs anyways

No, How many scammer accusations are posted a day? Alot.

And as you may already know the moderators are working on those cases even if you dont think they are, think of how much more of a work load and more pressure you will be putting on them if they have to deal with threads and constant pms.

They are only human, and they do work there hardest to make sure scammers are locked.

Edit/ Innocent until proven guilty, therefore they should not be locked/temp banned, because if they are innocent its unfair that they were restricted from the site for doing nothing.

I just think it's crazy how a person can get scammed, not get his FG back and then the person who did the scamming can get up to like a weeks time to spend all the FG, which can be as much as 40,000 in one instance, on items and make a dynasty of an account with perfected gear from scamming! >.<

Edit: They wouldn't get locked at all tho if the person accusing them of scamming doesn't have the proper proof/screenshots. People aren't going to go out of there way to make false accusations and photoshop a whole set of screenshot's to get somebody's gold locked until proven innocent!! And if people start doing that, then they can make harsher penalties in false accusations.

Common sense is needed.
If you can tell a person trades constantly (daily) and otherwise seems very reliable, then you should be safe, but nothing is 100% of course.

Your idea doesn't work because there are like what, a few dozen new accusations per day at least, and you can't take care of those via PM without mass messaging back and forth, and goodluck doing that with multiple people at the same time.

It just doesn't work.

I know what you mean, but yeah if someone doesnt know the other trader or hasnt seen him/her around it is best to request a mediator. Like yeah they may take 5 mins or so but least you are safe and know you with get your item(s)/Fg(s).

Well worth it and thats why mediators are on the site.

Edit/ the only thing I can think is like a search bar in the SA so that if you are about to trade and not so sure, you have the ability to look up this user and see any accusations made.

I wish there was a feedback system where we could rate the player's one every trade, for example speed, friendliness and sucess. But that would never work because you can send FG freely, it's not like stictly on trading.

Can be abused though. Could have someone go to like the user profile and like negative rate the user etc.

Yes I know, that's why I said I wish!!

What if there was a feedback system but you could only get Positive and/or negative feedback when using a mediator?

You could still trade freely without a mediator but there would be no feedback.

wont happen.
could be easily abused by making false accusations against someone who isnt liked.
innocent members would be interupted in their tradebusiness due this
