Led Zeppelin Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 I bought sponsor to support OSbot and now with all these recent hackings and what not its making me a little pissed that all sponsor is now is just "Why would I scam you if i'm VIP or Sponsor." ^^ thats not right! If you want people to trust you, you get feedback, be active on the forum, talk to people in the Chat and get people to trust you. You don't (and can't) buy trust with VIP or Sponsor TL;dr: VIP/Sponsor does NOT = Trusted. talk in chat to gain someone's trust.
ITryNotToTroll Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) I am trusted. Honest. Yeh, but really, just because you spent a little bit of money doesn't mean you won't scam for more :P Edited June 30, 2013 by ITryNotToTroll

Damn straight o.o I'm waiting for my VIP back after my problem you aren't trusted just because you purchased something ;p gain the respect of the community for trust.

Some people's logic just don't make sense.
chronicdice Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 I agree but it also works both ways just because they are doesnt mean they are here just to scam :P
Led Zeppelin Posted June 30, 2013 Author Posted June 30, 2013 I agree but it also works both ways just because they are doesnt mean they are here just to scam also true.... but this is just to say not to trust someone just because they have VIP just look at @LupeKid
Occazn Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Just saying, Lupe only scammed because half of his feedback was removed.
Led Zeppelin Posted June 30, 2013 Author Posted June 30, 2013 Ok but personally I trust a Sponsor more than a regular member because that basically means a Sponsor paid what like $50 to gain their status so there is no point in them scamming anything less than $50 or else they're losing money thats another way to put it too, but still Sponsor does NOT = trusted. Sponsor = OSbot support Just saying, Lupe only scammed because half of his feedback was removed. doesnt make it ok....
Waffle Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Just saying, Lupe only scammed because half of his feedback was removed. He isn't the only VIP who scammed on this forum. VIP doesn't mean anything.
Legendary Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 I don't even have any of the statuses's cause that is not what makes someone legit. As you said the feedback is and I completely agree. I feel like people are buying these status's to seem trusted. I don't care if someone has sponsor or vip when trading, I look at them equally as I would as any other.
Radiance Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 I thought Sponsor showed that you were less likely to scamquit, as you'd already invested money into the site.
Prayer Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 i think your logic is wrong, why trust someone with your account (with the possibility of having $100's worth of gold) who hasnt put anything back into the community. Its easy to fake feedback yourself > scam 10m > get banned > go on a proxy > make a new acc > do it over again. Atleast with VIP/Sponser you know they're willing to put something back & as for lupekid he paid $10 for vip and scammed $60 worth of gold. Whoever sold him that 30m is idiotic. Should have done it in increments. 1
Legendary Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 After thinking about it some more, it could go both ways. Yes the status is not meant to be a hidden "verified rank" and it should not be used for that. But the rank shows the user put something into the community worth of value. However, that doesn't mean because he donated $60 and bought the rank that he doesn't have to do increments or whatever on any kind of trade.
Lee Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 The thing that makes people think that sponsor/vip makes them more trusted is because.. Well if someone buys vip/sponsor that means that they have spent money. And if they scam, they will get banned. So they would be wasting money. So why waste money..
