Question: Does guru perma-ban people for scamming other members out of high end objects? For example, someones selling a high ranked guild and another member says they will buy it... in game he gets put to leader and ignores the leader of the high ranked guild without paying him ever. Thus making 100's of armbrace.
Just wondering cause a little scrub that joined the forums just did that and I don't know about other peeps, but that would make me want him banned from this site if he's gonna scam other members and than sell the items he scammed from other members.
Guru ban?

Dont know about the banning but seriously. Selling guilds is one of the biggest scam. If someone is dumb enough to fall for it thats there own fault.

Our policy on "scammers" that you can find in the Sell and High End forum rules:
Guild Wars Guru and the Mention of Scammers
Yes, we hate scammers just as much as you.
So why don't we let people "announce" scammers, why don't we keep running lists? Because we have no way of proving if that's what truly has happened. You can present us with all the screenshots, videos and more in the world and still it doesn't prove anything. Screenshots and videos can be edited, can be changed. Snippets of conversation can be cut out. We've seen some convincing stories in our time only to find out that things were not as they seemed. Or, that the person was set up.
Guild Wars Guru is NOT responsible for what goes on in game. We can not verify what goes on ingame, we can not get the full story, we can not know if someone is manipulating a story since we weren't there.
If it's truly a case of someone being scammed and you have proof, bring this to Arenanet. We can't make decisions for arenanet, we can't tell if this was legit or if you just need to watch yourselves better and be more cautious. If it's truly as outrageous and serious as you mention, then let Arenanet take care of their own game and their own people within that game.
We hope you can all understand the position we have to take on this. Screenshots and Videos are not an evidence. The proof is only available on the side of the Arenanet servers. As we said above, we've seen some good honest people set up, we've seen some great photoshop work in our time, and we've seen people deliberately edit out snippets of conversation before. We am only responsible for what happens on these forums. We are not responsible for what happens in game or the situations that people put themselves in.
If You Have Been Scammed
Also, if someone has scammed you in a trade arranged here, or has claimed to be from Guru, do two things:
1. Report it at http://support.guildwars.com/.
2. Send a PM (do not make a post) to an Guru administrator, listed here. Include relevant screenshots, IGNs, and information only if this is a situation where someone claims to be a GWG staff member and is trying to mediate a trade. Any posts or threads accusing someone will be edited, closed, and/or deleted.
