Sorry if i seem to be talking about something i dont know Since TvCokeCan took my money and finally he came back and is maybe trying to get me my money back, alot of people pmed me asking if its safe to buy from him. Then they ask, "can't the admin do something?" "is there any protection at dp from this" I mean if its unanimously approved that a guy is a scammer shouldnt the admins do something? Im just wondering, is there any protection, at all? a simple "no" would do too..
No. No. No, but if you do get a signed petition from every user in the forum (unanimous, right?), someone will look at it for you. Didn't you just ask this?
Ah,thought so. Yep i already asked that already, but i cant help saying it over and over again, has to be some kind of a want for protection, heh silly me.
Nop that wont work anyway =/ Buying sites/domains, sure i have a way to be safe there its full proof! but buying services and getting stung, only you can solve that... Edit i think i got it why not start a dp verification process? only verified sellers get to sell stuff here, might even get an extra member bar?
Well.. First whois the sucker then ask the victim several questions like.. his paypal email his msn email logs proof that he provided ask for the time of payment and his paypal email as well then do the usual things i do when i get scammed, search for his email/nick on other forums, ask their admins for his ip and tele with the one on this forum.. get his location info then first put all the pieces together to see if he really did scam or is it just a misunderstanding, in most cases it is. then if it is handover all info to the victim ban the sucker oh and then id make a forum of shame, postable only by me, where id post who did what so that it stays there forever, each user that scams will have a thread where ill double/tripple post if he/she scams again WITH all the info ive collected i think thats enough to make sure the people here are feeling safe, at least "something" is being done..
Yea but theres a problem there...members cant ban...and even a 6yr old can defend themselves, but if someone biugger steps in adn does that its...warm and gives a sense of protection Since we cant ban people without proof, if a mod/admin is researching scammers and then banning them, it will create a much much better envoirnment for dp...since they would know someone is there to help resolve the matter...
Personally, I would rather just shut down the Buy/Sell/Trade section rather than create more work for mods/admins.
Yep, thats why i said "it would create more burden for you, so thats a no" then you said what i would do... well thats what id do.. i mean cmon 8-9 mods.. vs. 1-4 mill members unrealistic dude even neo didnt had to go through that many ppl...
latest member http://forums.digitalpoint.com/member.php?u=65122 so 60k members...hmm a couple weeks ago i saw something else...im dead sure...hmm optimization maybeh but i still stand by my statement of neo not going through that much for him it stopped at one point mods here are like a bulls eye 24/7/365
Well i think hes a good guy, still do, since he agreed to a refund.. but no refund so far its been around 20-23 days could be 30 too
Dealing with other members is at our risk and responsibility. DP does not settle these things. There really is no assurance that your making a good transaction. Sometimes iTrader and Reputation also can't say that.
