Bloody hippies.
These are the forums for the GateWa.rs family of text-based space-centred PBBGs

You are endorsing a mod endorsing scamming. omg.Psyko wrote:[spoiler]A forum member and GW player took a risk by making a trade with a known scammer and thanks said scammer for coming through with the trade. The forum member also happens to be a Mod.
And now he should be removed from his post because he actually had an honest trade with a scammer?! Where the **Filtered** do you get off on this **Filtered**?! You take his post completely out of context and then want his modship removed because you have a stick shoved up your ass.
I'm so sick and **Filtered** tired of sitting back and letting people have these rounds against the mods on this forum. Should I be removed as a mod because I have finally lost my cool with all this **Filtered** I keep seeing around this forum? Well too the **Filtered** bad, because I am not speaking as a mod right now. I am speaking as a human **Filtered** being who has tried to be courteous to each and every one of you **Filtered** heads who act like complete **Filtered** to other people on this forum (mod and otherwise).
Grow the **Filtered** up. He had a good trade and said thank you. Two words that most people don't even use anymore. If this is endorsement, then I feel sorry for people who use the words "hello" in a friendly manner to a scammer. All you have done is make a good and honest person feel like absolute **Filtered**. **Filtered**.[/spoiler]

Lone Dragon traded with Harch, like others have done. His trade went without problem. Why would lone dragon then claim he is a scammer when the trade went ok?
He is stating a fact and thanking someone for a trade. he did not say thanks, and keep up the scam trading.
Another case of blue name = mod. If lone dragon was a normal member you'd probably still accuse him of endorsing it but you'd probably just take it ingame. But because he's a mod, even though he was posting as a user/player you attack his Mod position. it's wrong to do that.
Also, I completely disagree with scamming ingame, we all know that, but I also at the same time admit that it is a legitimate tactic. Does that mean I am a Mod endorsing scamming now?[/spoiler]

For my part I should have taken this to LD first and asked him to remove his post rather than exploding here. For that I apologise.
For LDs part, it seems he had good intentions trying to sell resources to Harch so Harch could repay one of the people he scammed. LD was mislead as many have been by Harches fun & charming banter. Also my post made him defensive when he would probably have seen my point and removed the post if approached privately & more diplomatically.
I still think the post should be removed but recognise errors in judgment on both sides here.

He did not post as a Mod and say anything, so him being a Mod doesn't mean a whole lot. I'll give you it least means something, but it shouldn't mean anything really.
He did not refute Harch being a scammer, as far as I saw. If you're angry that he didn't go out of his way and give all the evidence of Harch being a scammer, which is secondhand to him, when he also posted his good trade with Harch... well then I dunno lol.

Yeah, but he is a market mod. Any random noob will see that as an endorsement that Harch does do good trades. I'm not saying LD should be removed or anything extreme like that, but I do think its an error of judgement to post something like that about a known scammer.
He does do the occasional good trade. He is on the Black List for a reason, though.RepliMagni wrote:Yeah, but he is a market mod.

Whilst harchester is in no way innocent for his scamming, you can hardly blame him for the loss of money for your daughters birthday party. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but if it was supposed to be for that, why were you spending it?
