There's more scamming then there should be on LG and deciding whether somebody is lying or telling the truth is impossible because most transactions are discussed via MSN which LG doesn't have direct access to logs of. If we have our own instant chat in the chat section that enables 1on1 chatting, all transactions could be discussed and logged on LG. It's easier for newer members as well because they don't know how anything works.
Or people could just try to not be stupid and actually verify who they are chatting with. Its not that hard to look down under someone's name and get their IM info from that.
You know they won't do it then come here, complain, leave, then come back.
Then they should always use a middleman. Seriously, we have a lot of shit there to help people, they just dont use it because they think they are untouchable.
If I were a scammer, thanks. You just made it possible for me to scam people that don't have their MSN's posted.
Only thing this will eliminate is the impersonations.
@Soul, most people don't know about MM, and if they do, it's not time effective. Someone can scam a MM just as easily... I could show how, but not worth the boredom.

Well apparently the shit that we have to offer isn't enough.

People don't come here to waste their time. Most people just hear of us as trading. Some come to scam, some come to actually buy. If they buy and get scammed, oh well, shoulda used a MM. But, any new member compared to a person like Tempii or whatever shouldn't have to go first... Just make the newbies go first... or too bad. We don't have enough people to waste their lives away WAITING for trades.

Then people that are going to bitch about losing their shit after a trade are at their own fault. They know better and if they are noobs, then they should have read the announcement on top of every forum warning to use a MM.
I see LG's fastest scamming coming up. But go ahead, approve everyone.
@Souleater, newbies, several of them at least, don't even know about the rules and shit. I mean sure, it's a tab on the top, but there's no actual announcement about it or anything...

I've put the forum in archive mode - keeping basic chat here in case people drop by with a message. If anybody is still around happy to talk about building a small new little community, otherwise will just leave it archived.
