Lee Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Having sponsor and vip shouldnt make you more trusted.. It should show that you want the benefits and want to support the site 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber Heard Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) Having sponsor and vip shouldnt make you more trusted.. It should show that you want the benefits and want to support the site Well in a way it would make you more trusted, buyers would know that you will not scam them most likely because you have 'invested' money into Osbot and you can't get that money back anymore. Scammers wouldn't buy VIP first and then scam the buyers for couple of bucks, because scammers would lose money this way.

Raflesia Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I've seen enough VIP's and Sponsors scamming past months. It's not really a title that should give you more trust. I'd like to see some more opinions on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SshinigamiS Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) ^I agree with Raflesia. Some scammers actually buy VIP/Sponsor TO scam people. It shouldn't be viewed as a being more trustworthy, although when you have a blatant rank that states you've given XYZ to Osbot to obtain that rank, it's illogical for you to scam for anything less than what you've given to the community. MattCC a sponsor was just banned 1-2 days ago for scamming an account for approximately $100. Rank doesn't mean much in terms of actual "TRUST". If you're scared of being scammed by someone that has no rank, then just don't use them.

Scammers wouldn't buy VIP first and then scam the buyers for couple of bucks, because scammers would lose money this way. paying 55bucks to scam 70 is still profit, or pay 8 to scam 20, since the goldprice is pretty high, scamming amounts of 20+ is very very easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Not a bad suggestion, I feel it should be implemented in away yes. Because a lot of users just sigh up and scam for gp. It would feel a bit more secure, not completely stopping scamming but clean it up a little. My opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most recent scammers that have been banned: 2 VIPS. (lolmandem/Rum) 1 Sponsor. (MattCC) 0 no ranked. It's hard to get scammed by a person that has no rank because hardly anybody trusts them.
