names of characters are not going to be revealed

I find this highly amusing because the third picture still shows the scammer's name.

And she was asked to fix it.

do not post names of characters in any way

Droyd, if you have proof or something you can have justice. Just send in a ticket.

And take that link off or the mods might kill you.

I don't see what's wrong in naming names. It might help prevent that person from scamming someone else the same way. Keeping it all hush-hush would just encourage more such scams. This forum rule is archaic imo.

First, what if tomorrow someone posted a screenshot of your character and made a story up about you, whether it was true or not people would condemn you and it would usually end up being a stigma on you that you could never get rid of.

Second, if someone is scamming people and you post it here and they see it, then they are aware they are in trouble and may either stop or decide to start launder the items or zeny into more untraceable means.

Third, on a related note, this is not as far fetched as you might think. I've gotten plenty of private messages where one person tried to implicate another and the reverse turned out to be true or it was just something made up all together. No joke.

1. There'd be a heated discussion. If neither of us can offer any proof, it would just be ignored. The point I am making is that scammer or not, no one has the right to maintain their reputation, since that exists only in someone else's mind. It's a personal choice whether to allow it or not, but imo forums would be much more lively if naming names, in whatever context, was not frowned upon. If you cannot talk about scammers, bug exploiters, rude people etc. "just to be safe" pretty soon there would be no active discussions at all as people will lose interest in the forums.

2. It shouldn't matter since the items aren't going to be restored anyway.

3. That happens when there's a fall out among friends. IMO, its good entertainment for the community if there are such posts on the forum.

Of course, everything depends on how you want the WarpPortal forums to be perceived by the community. As a former player of India RO, I'm used to a lively one where anything goes, except flames and outright name calling.

1. Bottom line, rules are rules. Follow them. You agree to these whether you chose to read them or not in the User Agreement (14. Unacceptable Content, Section B ) and the Account Policy (4. Game Policies)
2. It creates more not less work for the staff to have to track all that down, time that could be spent helping other people who need it.
3. These forums are not for that type of entertainment.

Don't thrust WPE sellers by their guild.

Id like to add The Converse Holds True Too.

Don't thrust WPE Buyers by their guild.

Verification of the other person involves considerable effort

P.S
I have sold WPE (albeit higher prices than the rest) mostly during event times . Regardless of the buyers guild/level/Fame I have always sold with zeny first. Which did happen with them taking proper steps to find about me and my legitimacy To all the rest who stated their fame / guild/level as being proof enough for me to deal the codes first , i have respectfully declined. I figure if ppl know me they would have no issue and if they didn't know me and couldn't verify things about me they probably aren't worth making a trade with.

aww poor kad....

bear hugzz

[Jeminice]

I'm sure a lot of us saw the scammer's character name. Too bad for those who didn't see it. LOL

Anyway, sorry to hear that you got scammed! I'm sure you'll get it back. And for the person who scammed you. I'm sure he/she's reading this thread and laughing over it. And I hope you get a punishment you deserved.

[KingOfBabylon]

It's kinda funny how in every MMO you can't post the names of scammers, but on a kids game like neopets you can tell everybody and anybody 40 times over

Then again it's a double edged sword both ways

If a thread about something that pretty much everyone could agree on like "using prison labor for gold farming is bad" can devolve into threats of bodily harm, I wouldn't expect exploit/scam/bot call out threads to maintain even that level of civility. For my sanity, and for the GMs I ask that you guys don't put up character names and screenshots for this kind of thing.

what about posting only the names of people that was find guilty? or perma baned?

[CeruleanGamer]

If the same scammer does it again 2-3 more times, I'm pretty sure censoring his/her name would be POINTLESS.
