I think jsp needs another forum for "scammer warnings", where u can make topics to warn all users on jsp for scammers.

Example: u havnt been scammed but ur like 100% sure the customer or seller was trying to scam u, then u should b able to post a warning on this forum. Sometimes it's so obviously when some 1 tries to scam but they dont even get warnings or msg from mediator/moderater.

This forum should help ppl before making a trade, first of all if u r unsure about a user u could check the forum for a "chain scammer" - a user that is on a scammer streak, and that check could prevent a whole scam trade. Thats pretty useful isnt it?

I've been scammed a few times my own and ive also prevented being scammed alot of times buy checking the "scammer accusations forum", but the problem is u dont know if the other jsp user is gonna scam u on a trade even if he isnt accused some where on the "scammer accusations forums". I recenrly prevented to get scammed on a perf pala torch on eu-exp-soft-ladder realm, kinda funny story ( msg me if u wanna hear ).

Anyhow this is my idea to prevent scams, if u have any comment plz post here. Also i might update this topic/change my posts if something else pops up.

Thx

Regards

Joakim

Who on earth would really visit such a forum, to see people bitching about how two people couldn't be mature or sensible enough to sort out who gave first and / or not get a mediator?

10% of the posts would be "OMG HE SKAM ME HE SAY HE NO GET MEDI" and the remaining 90% would just be "t4w".

"Attempted scams" are all down to perception and it's fairly obvious that you cannot prove why exactly a user did not want to give first. The fact that there are so many scams would indicate people don't check the scammer accusations forum whatsoever, what makes you think they would honestly check this?

I'm sorry, but this is a genuinly horrible idea, I don't think it prevents anything and only seeks to encourage spam.
