Valve: "We nuke scammers from orbit" - Games

I just liked to trick gullible people out of their hats. They clearly dont deserve whatever they had if it was that easy to lose.

[QUOTE=JGillo;25269808]This guy really wanted a Dead Ringer, without asking him to do so he slapped a Vintage Vintage Merryweather in the trade box and ticked. Does this make me a scammer? :3:[/QUOTE] If he complains it does, even if you said nothing. [editline]07:23AM[/editline] [QUOTE=_Junkie_;25275152]13 year olds who play mario kart.[/QUOTE] Exactly. Mario kart is fun though.

somebody gave me hsi parasite hat and the panama for my crate...that means im getting banned? i never did anything like "DUDE YOU CAN FIND KEYS, or THIS CRATE GIVES YOU A 1000 HP BUFF"

Hats ruined TF2.

What happens if you have multiple accounts idling to get lots of items?

Hopefully they don't nuke my account if I scammed ONE and only ONE person. Then again, he wanted that fish pretty badly. He was almost willing to give that Baker Boy away.

I charge kids 4 items for noclip on a server I admin. Call it scamming, but it pays off a lot.

[QUOTE=NuckChorris;25277003]What next, 1 reclaimed=premium?[/QUOTE] People get desperate, would be surprised how many people would actually do it.

Wrong thread ffs.

[QUOTE=Tools;25263463]Wow, that's a bit drastic for something happening in a game. "You scammed someone for a free, virtual hat? You lose a +$1000 account!"[/QUOTE] Well that's a genuine incentive to do [I]the right thing[/I], which also happens to be the solution here: [I]don't scam[/I].

Valve is fucking up big-time, people that willingly press the trade button to trade away their little item were dumb enough to trade it in the first place.

If I take candy from a child, am I justified in doing so if I say, "Well, he should have been stronger!" (No, because someone is going to just say yes.)

As long as they don't do something similar to [url=http://news.runescape.com/newsitem.ws?id=1036]this[/url], I'm ok with it. I don't want them judging a trade unfair themselves, then banning people for wrong situations.

It's a fucking hat Valve Wow

They need to take an eve online type policy to scamming. Don't give a crap unless they got hacked or used an exploit.

[QUOTE=wari65;25276978]I charge kids 4 items for noclip on a server I admin. Call it scamming, but it pays off a lot.[/QUOTE] This is brilliant. Thanks for the advice. :q: I would like to see a case of Valve mistakenly disabling someone's account who was doing something like this, though, just to see how easily challengable such a case is.

i gave a poly pack weapon for about 4 regular weapons i diddnt have,one i think was vintage. then he called me a bitch and left the server,i was being polite and making sure he wanted to do the trade and he was being polite back. im worried that he's gonna false report me :ohdear:

I'm sure you won't get banned if you said "Are you sure" I guess i should be worried, I got a free reclaimed of some lying 12 year old,but it was his fault.

[QUOTE=Sir_takeslot;25263483]They better, I traded a bills hat for 4 hats, I don't want to be getting banned for someones stupidity.[/QUOTE] some people think bill's hat is worth 4 hats, hell when i had one i thought it was worth at least two, it's a multi class hat...

I think a less harsh option would be to remove most of a set of weapons, so if I have more primary than secondary/melee, they'd remove that. If I was punished again, the second highest would be removed, and then melee. And after a 3rd time you are punished [i]again[/i], I think you deserve a 3 month ban from TF2 somehow. :v:
