Hey, I recently got scammed by a user here at DP. He sold me a script with "future updates and resell rights", but as it turned out he never had resell rights to the script himself, and now he's just giving the script out for free. I posted in his thread (where he says he's giving the script away), and confronted him with it, and he replied with "w/e". I woke up this morning, and my posts had been deleted, and I've gotten an infraction. Now, as I'm pissed at the DP mods as well, I realize there's nothing I can do about that, but what can I do to stop this guy? I don't even care about the money he owes me, I just want to stop this guy..
I got scammed too... but it turns out he scammed many and was banned.. not sure about your issue though...
Yeah DP unfortunately has a very useless suggestions section honestly, all the admins do is lock the thread. In the end DP is popular because of its users, we are what hold it together , I feel like they should consider our suggestions, I made one long ago but they locked my thread.. =/ And I know you'll all agree with me considering almost all the threads open there are locked... Disappointing but what can you do.
what can you do? try not posting a suggestion thats been suggested multiple times already. that would be a start. the members police themselves more or less. if you have a problem with a deal and PM's don't solve it, leave negative feedback via iTrader and red reputation. if the offending user is banned, thats that, its pretty much over and its too bad if you lost some money, unfortunately it happens all too often.
Well, I have been scammed as well, left him a negative itrader and red rep, and was red rep for that... now i'm confused as well...
If I give him red reputation, I get red reputation myself.. I tried leaving negative iTrader, but I get this:
You can't leave negitive iTrader on a thread outside b/s/t. Thats why you get an error. And is about that guy who is giving away the free RPG script?
The SAME guy scammed me and i got banned for a week for speaking the truth!! Then he claimed he owned the rights to the script which he didn't he stole it! I'm not going to do anything because as long he can cry to a mod I'm just going to get banned. You just got to deal with these things. - Chris
Well, Dp honestly can't do something about a stolen script. Contact his host and tell them that its stolen with suffiecient proof. Then go for his ISP.
Unfortunately, you could do nothing to help people like that. For the future references, it is the best to work with people who have positive iTrader status and also their registration on the forum should exceed six months. I am myself trying to work with trustworthy people like that. It is OK of it is going to be more expensive. It is better to loose five dollars that to loose an order.
