Whopper Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Hey OSBot, I was pondering methods to which we could take regarding securities for the market. Then I thought of ways scammers might use to fool people abusing their trust. What if a highly trusted users uses old account pictures to sell an account and scams multiple users? That could potentially be awful! I'm proposing we hide all account threads after the account has been sold, so that scammers can't make a quick buck. Thoughts?

lava Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 It's a good idea but what if someone uses a thread to sell multiple accounts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whopper Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 It's a good idea but what if someone uses a thread to sell multiple accounts?Perhaps that could be the exception to the rules but requiring all pictures of sold accounts to be removed upon selling an account on the shop/multi-acc thread.

Administrator Maldesto Posted February 10, 2015 Administrator Share Posted February 10, 2015 it isn't hard to use google and find images. Hiding them will do nothing, we usually lock old ones etc. You can do a quick google search of the image and see if it has been posted else where.

There are like 5-6 other forums with markets, scammers aren't going to go through pages to find an account but not go to another site and find it if they can't find it here.

CallMeDominic Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I feel like it's reasonable to use it as an extra precaution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
