Hey, I have been working on a scam busters site so people don't have to spam in chat who they were scammed by and possibly get reported. So now people can go to this site and post on the forums what happened and even post pics of what happened. Hopefully if guilds start seeing their tag associated with a scammer they will take action and help stop some of the scamming going on. This way people know who isn't trustworthy. If any of the posts aren't true and it is brought to the staff they will remove the post to keep the integrity of the site. I hope this catches on I think it's a good idea.

I believe this will not be the first to be locked, because of promoting this kind of thing. GW Guru has a policy against naming names. I don't think this site will help you promote it.

"No, Guild Wars Guru does not turn a blind eye to this. 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 happened. You can present me with all the screenshots, videos and more in the world and it doesn't prove anything. Screenshots and videos can be edited, can be changed. Snippets of conversation can be cut out. I've seen some convincing stories in my 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. I can not verify what goes on in game, I can not get the full story, I can not know if someone is manipulating a story since I wasn't there. If it's truly a case of someone being scammed and you have proof, bring this to arenanet. I can't make decisions for arenanet, I 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. I hope you can all understand the position we have to take on this. Screenshots and Videos are not evidence. The proof is only available on the side of the arenanet servers. As I said above, I've seen some good honest people set up, I've seen some great photoshop work in my time, and I've seen people deliberately edit out snipets of conversation before. I am only responsible for what happens on these forums. I am not responsible for what happens in game or the situations that people put themselves in." |
