Rules Question about scams and policy

Discussion in 'Support & Feedback' started by mmurtha, May 29, 2010.

  1. #1
    Does DP have any written policies or rules as in "TOS" relating to scammers and what is done about them?

    Is there anything that is done to them if found out?

    Should these types of situations be reported, and who to report it to, etc ...

    Lol I'd like to name and shame one user and string them up by his ... well you know, but I know that isn't going to happen.

    But I know I can at least get some feedback.

    Thanks ...

    Mary

    You are responsible for your own online safety.

    Your options when a deal goes badly is to post a factual account in deal thread and use itrader. Remember only one itrader per deal is allowed. It is advisable never to leave any itrader hastily until you are sure of the outcome.

    Yeah, I understand about the iTrader and stuff, and it has been done. So has the account in the tread.

    Is there any policy that states we cannot post our accounts in threads where they post their services to warn other people about them as long as it is civil?

    To me it would be like leaving any other comment.

    I didn't see any so figured I'd ask here.

    Thanks ...

    So what you are saying is that it is okay for people to rip other people off here in the forum, but not okay for the ones who do get ripped off to say anything about it so others can be warned correct?

    Lol that's some justice ...

    Okay then let me clarify this -- can we use or sig files to make statements about others?

    i kinda doubt it, thats harassing in nature and would be viewed as such.
    leave a comment in the deal thread, one only, leave neg iTrader and move on.
