Jordan Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 If an off-site scam occured within the time-frame of OSBot, and there is just as much evidence in a scam report, then yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dex Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I support this, however scammers are smarter than this. It will be effective at first but later on you'll notice all the flaws in the system: 1. You'd have to know the scammer's real IP, it's possible that innoncent people get banned if they have the bad luck of chosing a username that matches the scammer's username on another forum. This is not likely to happen very often but it's possible. 2. Scammers will find out this rule has been instated and are usually smarter than this so they simply register under another name. 3. If they do get banned they can still claim to be innoncent by stating it was just a coincident and unless there is an ip provided by the other community he got banned in there will be no way to know 100% sure if it's him. Basically, the main issue here is that you'd need the cooperation of the other communities' staff members to get his actual IP, or you can start using Skype resolvers even though those are not always very efficient and precise.

Administrator Maldesto Posted November 18, 2013 Administrator Share Posted November 18, 2013 We will ban scammers from other sites, as long as a dispute is filed and full proof that it is the same person is provided. Thanks for the suggestion it will be implemented. This isn't a free for all on the community to go looking for past scammers, the original complainant needs to be the one who is filing the report, not someone who has seen stuff on other communities. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
