If you need any help mate, ever, don't be afraid to ask.


thanx mate..at least theres still a few good oldtimers floating around here!

hey yno whats funny mate........he said he was your cousin!!!


@clarkey....so basically your telling me that scamming is allowed to happen by admins rules?

Yes because it is too difficult for scamming to be proven. Also scammed resources are likely to get spread about normally by the scammer selling them on and makes it even more difficult for resources to be taken away and returned to their rightful owners.

Forum rules

NOTE: Kingdom Games, StarGateWars, the forum admin, the game admin, TAKE ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR CURRENCY TRADES outside of the game itself. We simply cannot monitor/validate/track/prove/disprove/confirm or deny the details, or if they happened.
Many are scams - and just because they are here, or are by recognizable players/people, does not change this.
IF YOU TRADE FOR REAL CURRENCY, AND GET SCAMMED OR DONT GET WHAT YOU THOUGHT YOU SHOULD, WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP YOU, so do not even ask...The answer is "Sorry. We cannot help you. You just lost your money."


Admin's stance on the matter has been always pretty clear.

Scammers and cheaters can be VERY convincing if they want to be. They can be VERY smart if they want to be.
If admin got involved then it would come down to your word against theirs.

Take this for example (yes I know there's a note attached on the end of it, but lets leave that out for now).
HYPES Pure Chaos 80,000,000 Untrained 1 Naquadah 13:32 Completed. for kazzamAG account thanx

He could easily claim that you were giving him that 80m uu because you decided to leave, but now you have changed your mind and you want it back and now you are claiming scammer.

Don't get me wrong, I feel for you mate and I know who the scammer is here, but can you see what I'm getting at? It's your word against theirs, and it can be very difficult to determine who is telling the truth and who is not.

Oh and scamming has been going on for years, yes people have left because of it, but considering how many players there are in the game that is a drop in the ocean.

Sorry to be so blunt about it.

Is it legit to scam a scammer?
I think someone did it in past with a famous scammer, just for the lolz (and for ingame ressources).

Mate if it's deemed legit for a scammer to scam then clearly it is legit for someone to scam a scammer.
The only downside to it is that they may then be seen as untrustworthy in some eyes.

Re: been robbed plz help

Scamming isnt against game rules, its a valid tactic and morally equally as bad as the many other things that go on in SGW which most people consider cosure and part of the game.

I have given a couple of ideas about preventing scamming around

Good traders list (not much better than trade feedback but as its moderated it will be somewhat harder to manipulate as a scammer.

Middle Man, either by Admin, as he has the god given ability to take what he wants, if someone takes $50 from him and tries to not give him the uu then they will be out of luck, and vise versa, or by a respected member of the community, again not 100% trustworthy, he may become a scammer

And how to avoid getting into a situation altogether, the most simple advice yet hardest to obtain, is never send first. I never do, I never get scammed.

..

If you or anyone else would like a middle man service I could do this. The only problem with Middle Men is their cut, well id only take say a 1% cut for my fee, but paypal on the other hand is not so generous and with 2x the number of transfers his cut doubles. (10% roughly of the total trade price) But if anyone is happy to pay that as they think their trading partner is dodgey then fair enough. Id be abliged to help, just get in touch.

Re: been robbed plz help

oh look an unlocked thread :d

but I do like the suggestions made above, I don't know why scammers aren't deleted and banned. Gone, sure they will probably resurface ie Beci/~orphy but make it a bit more painful for them each time they do.

perhaps a star rating like ebay has too?

Actually don't the consumer laws of the country of buyer overcede the games rules? Not 100% sure on that one, my consumer law knowledge is a little rusty atm.

Re: been robbed plz help

Scammers aren't deleted because it's not against the rules to scam people for resources. Why is it worse to trick someone into giving you there resources than it is to steal them?
