I have a suggestion, feel free to add to or ignore.

I realize it is not a good idea to ban members that have ripped off other members because then they are not able to post/take care of the issue(s) at hand.

However, is it possible to create an Avatar/Rank for members that have been proven to be thieves? The Avatar/Rank should reallly stand out, so that when they post (especially in a selling thread) other members will notice it. I have read many times where people missed the feedback thread about a member or thought that a member had cleared up all issues.

This proof could be as simple as posting the PayPal claim or documented posts/PM's listing out the theft. A Mod could make the decision of whether or not the member should get the Thief Rank or not.

Right now, there are multiple threads in the feedback section dedicated to members that are accused of stealing from other members. A thief rank might alert others to be cautious when dealing with that member. It might also encourage the member accused of theft to correct the situation.

There are also six stickies that I have no idea if they are still current or not.

Best thing you ever said hermie :tickled:

:tickled: So that is the best thing Hermie has ever said?

:oh_no: Again, who are you? Maybe you just don't stand out because you are formless?

On topic, I take the sales/trading stuff pretty seriously and don't like to see anyone get ripped off.

Yes, this is the most recent member I was thinking of. I know that Rot just got a PayPal claim in his favor but since there is no money in SirRuizJr's account, that doesn't really help him.

Imagine if all the shady operators on NG.com banded together to form a Thieves Guild in defiance of their custom scammer rank/avatars?

Yikes.:tickled:

Thats like praising a retard for not tying his shoelaces together.

I never understood why Herm catches so much shit. I wasn't really around in '05 so idk. I can't recall anything half as bad as some of these cock holsters around here. Especially our thread author. "omgz yur not teh popularz!!21213$###2" Kinda works out that way when you're not an attention whore. I sleep pretty well at night despite not being the prom king of an internet forum.

I actually have no problem with herme, its just that its not REMOTELY the best thing he's ever said.

I absolutely agree with you. I just couldn't find a proper way to convey my disdain for Gameoz at the time.
