    Hey guys.. I'm back.. :) I had some challenges that I had to settle in my life and it was literally a roller coaster ride for me.. The first thing I did here was looking at the bans and suspentions pages and I was shocked of how many people were being banned.. And these people were banned because of scamming.. Why is the situation getting so bad? I thought that we were suppose to be a friendly community over here..

    Maybe we could think of an idea of reducing scammers out there.. I don't have any ideas at hand honestly.. Maybe expon should make this forum private.. For members who have been around for some time with good reputation.. I don't know.. What do you all think or feel with regards to the issue?

    most ppl come in and keep posting until they get enough points for the download then poof... gone =)

    hmm... keeping the forum private??? not really a good idea tho... cuz it might make the forum being more inactive... best is to have a trading points and etc... =) and application for certified merchants and etc... =) nah... juz a rough idea... don sound good i guess lol

    a private board for selected people only would be good, maybe a friends board where you can also invite people, with min requirments of course.
    this will work well, lets the more active member be at easy from those who post soly for point and dont give a crap about helping others.

    It's pretty sad.

    I feel bad for new users who mean well too. With all these scams, it makes you think anyone whose never completed a trade before is probably a scammer.

    It just makes it tough on everyone.

    i haven't really seen too many people that are recently new be active most people do come for programs (yes i came for the abers) and when it gets hard to post after a few days they giveup I think we should make this private but have it so you coule email someone saying that you would want to join.

    I do too... so much. It would be so much easier, and so much better. But I don't think that is going to happen anytime soon.

    If someone wants to post however many messages to get the points that they need without spamming it is nearly impossible without being active in the community. You cant blunder your way to hundreds of posts, you know what I mean?

    this idea would cost people to don8 cash a bit, but itd be worth it

    we keep this forum but its for people to build trust! we still have the levels and everyone is aloud to go on it, but its more secure like only level 2s and up can use black market

    then we make a new forum for the people that others can consider trusted
    so if theres people that loads of others dont trust then they dont get to be in the executive forum....

    anyone likey my idea?



    well you guys need to don8 to the forum anyways, just pm expon and he will give you the link to the in progress-new forum

    for it to be complete you guys need to don8 $$$$$

    I still do not understand why people spam here. Just to get enough and go poof? It's pretty obvious that when you become banned from here, the programs won't work...

    True, but I think he was just referring to the amount of "trusted" members who have scammed recently.

    It's definitely a problem, but what do we do? This is a cheating community, and as much as we frown upon scammers, they're bound to be attracted here...

    That is true, this is mainly a cheating community and attracts many people who are immoral and do such things that they shouldn't and IDK if people are been banned for double posting?
