Scamming although is bad, is taken out of the economy. Time and time again have we seen these suggestions and they get shot down in a heartbeat. There's a chance this will be added, but the cons surrounding them are too many.

It kinda is sad for players who don't get the money or have been scammed in the past, for example, I've been scammed over 2mil ecd, but this was accumulated over 6 months. I'm not asking for money, I understand I made the choices but it might cause some conflict between players.

However, I think it's a good idea and I'm glad something like this is happening.

 

I really like the charity medal. I hope this is implemented! There really isn't a downside, and only improves the server. In addition, those that help people are given a little bit of respect for their actions. However, there should be a minimum so that everybody does not have this medal.

+1 I like this Idea quite a lot.
However I am a bit unsure how exactly we would implement it.

 

we could add a application

 

I like the ideas behind it but to figure out my stance on this I have a two main questions.

1. What if the scammer appeals?
2. How will the people that are given back money be chosen if we don't choose all?

Also, one of your ideas is to raise lotto tax for a day and then payback the scammed user 5-10%. If a player is scammed 1 mil and is decides he is going to quit, I honestly don't think that 50k-100k is going to change his mind.

Personally, I think that we should only give refunds to players that made smart loans. If a player loans 800k to a VIP ecoleader and is scammed, I would feel that they deserve money for making a smart loan but just had bad luck. However, if a player loans 50k to a brand new builder, I would not think that they would deserve the money back, because they made a dumb decision in loaning.

One last thing that I thought of as I was typing this: Maybe we could only refund players that were scammed in payment plans/donation feature purchases/item trading/etc. (not loaning). This would keep the loaning business from being affected as well as paying back player that were scammed on the spot, like in a feature purchase. I personally think of loaning as a game, like lotto. When you are scammed, its just part of the game. I think of donation feature purchasing and item trading differently though. Donation feature and item scams are always intentional, unlike loans. I personally don't think that there should have to be a risk when you are purchasing donation features and items but there should be a risk in loaning.

 

True, and this suggestion will help, but the hypocritical society never lasts.
