I haven't checked this thread in a while, but damn, 12 free slots! What's going on? I wonder if people are not just joining this because of the bet requirement. What is the minimum you have to bet to become ellegible?

People openly sell these bars on eBay for around £10, though it might be a legal grey area in reality. I suppose it could be trademark infringement or something with the branded bars.

Was it removed of it being unfair to users?
Pretty much. I'm 50/50 on whether it should return or was a good idea getting rid of it. It never really stopped scammers or spammers as anyone determined would just bide their short time whilst it still punished casual or newcommer users. My vote would be on a warning akin to the scammer tag. It would be in eye-catching red, displayed next to the names of Newbies in any Marketplace forums. People have suggested blocking Newbies from the Marketplace section as a whole, but I guess that would be pretty annoying to a lot of people who register here for the first time just to trade. Newbies would be able to trade, but I think a warning of sorts would be a better deterrent. I think that sort of warning would also be annoying for them not to mention a bit extreme and unfair/unnecessary. Generally people know to use caution when dealing with newb accounts anyway, and if they don't and lose out then it's their own fault. Newbs should only be given 'warning' via negative feedback when they've done something to demonstrate they deserve it and not before. |

Can you check if these albums are on waffles (or any other music tracker you have):
English Frank - Frankenstein
Logic and Last Resort - More True Talk (make sure it's the more one and not the first True Talk).
Thanks.

I'll start writing down the various names. I regularly read one, think; "hmmm it's that guy again" then I look at name, always different.... I wonder if it's a sweatshop or gold mine rather, a bunch of guys and they rotate accounts so if you check the post history there's a variety of styles? Are you sure it's not many different people and you're just incorrectly assuming they're all the same? If people are posting shit just report them via the report to mod button and they'll get dealt with. |

A few bitcoin/crypto related sites have been compromised in the past. I think the Feathercoin forum possibly had their database compromised after a hack. I do occasionally get bitcoin spam so someone got my address from somewhere and they even unsuccessfully tried logging into it one time (there's nothing of value in there anyway).
|

|
|
i received it too, i guess forum database was stolen
Have you used your email address anywhere else? On any other forum? I haven't recieved anything. |

Did you send the item to his address listed on his eBay and PayPal and was it verified? Sadly it seems with PayPal anyone can say they didn't authorise the payment whether they did or not and get away with it.
|
|
|
|
Yeah, don't use PayPal  . Can you provide more details? What is the seller claiming is the issue? |
|
|

Yes, you can post your suspicions of potential or attempted scams here. In fact, it's better to warm people before the scam actually happens rather than wait for it to be successful. Just make sure you post all the evidence you have and be prepared for a backlash if you're wrong  . |
|
|
|
HAHAHAHA
is this for real?
Yes, this is a real scam. Try it out to confirm if you like . |

ROFL who scams for $81 worth of BTC? These damn broke as newbies are annoying as hell and they need to take their asses back to scamming WoW gold or something.
If you think the $81 is hilarious then your going to love this one for $15 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=899991.0I've seen people scam for a few dollars of btc. Weirdly a few of them were Full Members as well and could've sold their accounts for much more than that. |

Best solution is after selling the account, the seller must make a public notice stating that he/she has sold his/her account.
Well that would be great if everyone complied with it and also people didn't leave negative feedback for known bought/sold accounts, but some people wont. People are too scared to reveal they purchased an account in case it gets negbomed, and those that purchased an account for nefarious purposes would never admit to it in the first place. The best thing we can do is stay vigilant and protect yourself (use escrow etc). |

The admin's don't delete or lock accounts so your best bet is to just forget about the account and abandon it. You could also sell it for a little btc if you wanted.

Actually selling accounts improves the safety of accounts. If someone needs money they can sell their account instead of throwing their account by trying to scam (and potentially resolving their need for money)
but what i am saying is i saw some seller are selling account with green trust which can cause a big scam because the honest person who got the green trust is not using that account anymore Solution: Don't just blindly trust an account with green feedback. I could create an alt account and leave it plenty of feedback, would that mean you trust it? No. The feedback system is a guide, not a you must trust this person explicitly badge. |
