Be Warned

very weak move, but I think they are targeting the younger players. I hope we have all done enough so they understand that nobody not even VMK needs your password.

to go even further - how do you prove someone lied any more than you can prove they scammed?

I actually got into a rather heated argument with a moderator over a scamming post which WAS allowed, and I thought should not have been a while back. Everyone believed the original poster because they are a "well know, respected member" - well, I thought, why is this person allowed to slam the other? And the other cannot very well defend themselves ona board which is decidedly against them. This is a case in point.

Plus: I spent 5 years moderating a card trading board. We had exactly such an example of "lying" happen which did in fact cause the accused to quit the board and sell off his collection. I came to find out later on that the so called "scammer" was absolutely in the right. And this involved real money, real business and real reputations. not virtual items.

In addition: In my opinion, even these "hey I was scammed" posts should not be allowed. there have been too many which sounded bogus to me. (such as multiple "i was scammed" threads from the same person or persons)

I have seen a lot of that "I was scammed" stuff to and in many cases, it is to cause others have pity and give free stuff.

ZOMG! Of course you wouldn't care because I just matched you to HIM!

HOW DARE YOU SIT HERE AND LET THIS HAPPEN????

WE ALL TRUSTED YOU!!!

to think I just gave you a 5 star bat because I felt sorry for you only to find out you just conned another one away from <name removed>.

well I reported you and VMK reads these boards so you will get yours!!






this is why thats not allowed. I just made that up, but I could have turned everyone on these boards against you to the point that you wouldnt be able to trade anything here or on any other board because half the people here are also on the others. And all because maybe I had a believable story, or enough friends to make it work.

For the record there is not a single VMK board that I am aware of that would let you post a persons name for this, its not unique to the DISboards.

like he said if i ever spammed someone which i never have and never will and someone puts EyoreFANS12 spammed me i would be very angry because people who knew me would be saying non pleasent stuff about me and i that would not be cool.. aengus has a point
