100 post count requirement for selling accounts

[CallMeDominic]

The limitation is idiotic.

Post count doesn't reflect the a user's trustworthiness.

 

I want to sell accounts, but I need to have 100 posts first.

What do I do? I post pointless messages on various threads.

 

Why? Because I'm not a social person.

There is not a single thread or comment on this entire forum that I would ever be interested enough in to genuinely reply to.

 

I don't see the problem.

If I want to provide a valid service or product and I'm even willing to go first, what is the problem?

[Whopper]

Well, here's the problem.

 

You're new, so no one knows how trustworthy you are or if you're even going to stick around. You have absolutely no credibility from former sites (as far as we know), no post count and joined last month. Accounts are easily the riskiest thing someone can sell regarding RuneScape as they're easily recoverable, hence why there's such a limitation for those who sell and even then usually only trusted members can quickly sell an account. The limitation is there to protect buyers from malicious sellers who haven't first established themselves on OSBot and the market here.

 

If these limitations are too much for you and not worth the effort, then I'd suggest you sell your account(s) elsewhere in a market who has fewer restrictions. OSBot is only looking out for its community's best interests and I'm glad we have laissez faire here.

OSBot is looking out for gullible users.

Not the users who want to sell something, but don't care about community.

 

The whole point of having a public forum is for people to have an equal opportunity to voice their opinions and offer services.

When you allow neither, you're no longer offering a forum, you're just offering a place where social status means more than quality.

You're looking at the situation through very bias eyes.

If you came here, brought an account got scammed you would not be very please that someone that has shown

no level of trust or professionalism was allowed in the market as their play thing.

 

Sure some people, the people who have no intention of scamming, also get caught in this net of not being able to sell.

But most people understand why such a net is in place and either stick around and involve themselves productively in the community, get themselves known and build up a reputation or sell it elsewhere where there are no such rules.

If you do not wish to contribute to the community that is your choice but then you must not complain because of that.

You're always chatting a storm in the chatbox so don't try to blame social anxiety as a reason to avoid a clearly justifiable limitation. 

 

And even if you were, you have the equal opportunity to to grasp through, if you really had a problem with social anxiety you'd probably be even more likely to fear conflict so you wouldn't have even made this post.

 

i know for a fact even one of our moderators @Noah was a very shy character and still is today but has came through enough to become even staff.

 

If you don't see what this limitation could possibly avoid then you're incredibly blind.

If I got scammed, that's my own problem and there's nobody else to blame but myself.

I don't believe in expecting other people to spoonfeed you.

 

If you want something, you'd better be able to figure it out yourself, or be able to pay for it.

I learned at an early age that the only person you can count on in life is yourself.

You can never know another person's intentions and until given a reason to believe otherwise, you should always expect that they might not be as benevolent as they seem.

 

As far as I'm concerned, victims are rarely innocent.

On some level, whether it be from guilt or negligence, we all deserve what we get.

 

And if you don't want to end up in a bad situation, it's your responsibility to take active steps towards preventing it.

Otherwise, people go about thinking the world owes them some protection, some consideration.

That's how you end up with a generation of victims who are too self-absorbed to even consider helping themselves.

I don't have social anxiety, I never claimed to; I just don't like the majority of users.

I primarily talk to other scripters in the chatbox because they're generally not as bland and uninteresting as the majority of users.
