Why was this deleted?

Check the image...

EBAYing and Scamming are not allowed I believe in the EULA?

Why did my thread get deleted if I was to warn people?

THANKS

If you had read a single post in reply to that thread, you would know you should have e-mailed all that stuff to ANet so they could deal with the problem. Posting it on the forums is not the answer.

And also I hijacked it. LOLLERSKATES

Your previous thread got deleted because it turned into a lot of senseless arguement that had nothing to do with the original idea of the thread.

And you should have sent it to Anet, not put it here.

Owned? Nope, I don't think so.

Oh and also, all scams should be reported directly to Anet, as what most people already said.

No, this is a fansite devoted to GW, but it is not owned by Anet.

Yep, most everyone who replied to your original thread and now this one, need you to send this to Anet and let them take care of it.

Everyone has gotten scammed, is getting scammed, or will get scammed. Not all of them come onto the forums to complain; they simply e-mail ANet. If ANet has some psycho response to the problem, then (depending on what it was) it may be alright to post about it

No I think fansites are under contract and have to follow ANET rules such as ANET owns all images related to GW?

I'm not crazy about the idea of naming names because it always seems to lead to blacklists. And those have so much abuse potential.

This is an Official fansite. That translates into "we must do what ANet wants, otherwise we lose Uber title". It in no way means ANet owns the site (although they might )

That sentence didn't really make sense. Anet does not own this site. If you want to report this guy give it to Anet directly, don't post it in here and hope someone from Anet reads it, that is just being lazy.

Your screenshots are your proof. Either send a link to the pics or, and this is better, send the pics directly to Anet.

What does that mean? Known to you and your half-dozen friends? Or is there some server-wide list of KNOWN SCAMMERS?

Who says he is a known scammer? Your girlfriend? Your great grandmother? Some random guy you met in LA (Los Angeles, not Lion's Arch )?

If you were not the one scammed, you have no business even complaining. The person who was scammed should complain (that is, of course, if they're not slinging around the bullshit )

And some people say they sleep with 50 women in one night; that doesn't necessarily make it so.

If you are saying that you already reported to Anet hours ago, then stop complaining, the scammer probably got banned. But if you mean that you reported to here, than report to Anet already.

You should e-mail ANet (as everyone else has said).

I would like to add though that ANet's customer service is horrible. I emailed them a complaint about someone and they responded with something like As you haven't responded to us within 72 hours we assume that your complaint has been taken care of. Now how do I know that some action had been taken against the person or if anything had happened?

Some other question just occured to me: Are accounts that got banned removed from my friends-list too?
How can I know if someone I put on the list got banned or is just offline?
Since the list can only be 25 entries long I would like to remove those closed accounts from my list.

SerGRunner, first of all, please make a token effort to read the forum guidelines and listen to the regulars.

As many have stated, Guru is not related to Arena Net.
If you know someone who is cheating, report it directly to them. You are welcome to come here and discuss important game issues such as cheating, exploiting, botting, etc...but the line stops at naming names. As DarrenJasper astutely noted, there's far too much potential for abuse with blacklists.

Secondly, if someone asks how you know someone is a scammer, replying "BECAUSE HE IS A KNOWN SCAMMMER" does not strengthen your argument in any way. It does put me about me just a little bit closer to a spontaneous aneurysm though.

So please, argue away, but give us more than five or six words where the main force in your statement comes from capitalization. If you want people to listen, make the effort to say things clearly. If you're talking just to be heard, don't do it here.

As for the Arena Net/Guru issue:
We're not beholden to ANet, nor them to us. Guru has some of the top staff in the community, and ANet was smart to recognize that. It doesn't mean we're at their beck and call. It's a mutually beneficial relationship. Game issues that need direct attention go to ANet. Discussions (no flames please) are probably best left here.
