WHY ARE MODS NOT BANNING THESE SELLERS?! If you give me the authority I'll ban every last one of them.
You have no logical reason to ban them, using Auto-Buy URLs sites is the most common way to scam, but it's up to you. you must inform the seller to provide trusted Auto-Buy URLs with trusted escrow or use Bitcointalk trusted member escrow "If s/he refuses, open a scam Accusations topic against that user."
Prevention is better than cure, if there are any doubts about the seller, do not let the high discount rate scam you by risking purchase from the user.
19. Possible (or real) scams and Trust ratings are not moderated (to prevent moderation abuse).
I have no logical reason? Every forum I've ever been on where there's a marketplace there's always mods filtering out the scammers, so no other forum is logical besides this one. Right. More like the mods rather write one thread saying how to prevent getting scammed than take the time to weed out all the scammers. For the record I didn't get scammed. I messaged at least 30 sellers and 29 of them were clear scammers. You think this is how a marketplace should operate?
