    Minecraft Name: EpicAssassin158

    Suggestion: I got this idea from tf2 trading probation. This is where a person repaying a scam has a sign by their name saying something like scamprobation e.g [President] [ScamProbation] EpicAssassin158: Hello. Also the scam sign will stay until you pay of your loan(s) or something like that.

    The scam sign could be in a different place it's just an example.


    Reason: Give people a warning on who they are dealing with.

    Any Other Information: nope

    Ah, this suggestion again.

    There was a huge long discussion about it in a previous suggestion, there are multiple reasons against this.

    It basically labels them a scammer, you might was well give them a [Scammer] tag, it means the same thing. These players will be hated by everyone, will be unable to buy/sell anything from anyone, and ect ect. Not a good idea.

    I agree with Jason, this could result in player discrimination and harassment. It would be a good warning system for buyers however would have major user issues.

    Yeah I guess as the trading on steam is done at the same time it's easier for someone to trust them

    I have always supported this idea

    I dont understand why these people deserve protection from the truth

    There are many many things we need to be protected from, true or not.

    they don't deserve protection from anything, if anything good citizens deserve protection from them, labeling them as such would do that

    That is true however they would forever have the label of a scammer even once the tag would be gone.

    Also, I'm not on the side of scammers but they are all human beings that can be hurt as we all can. sure maybe if they ended up quitting the server because of being labeled it would benefit the economy, but that's someone who has been harassed to a point were they have to leave to get away from it all.

    I have not and have never endorsed harassment of any kind.
    Labeling a scammer a scammer is not harassment.it's a statement of fact

    Once again I agree, people should know who are scammers but they shouldn't be harassed because of it.

    We have already go over this. If you wish for me to pull out some records I can, you have harassed scammers before, don't deny it :p

    This is just more examples of scammer hate, which is not a good thing.

    Statement of fact and insulting is a thin line.

    I can say your shirt is red, but that isn't insulting. I can say your shirt is ugly, and that's not fact, that's opinion.
    I can say you scammed, and that's a fact. I can also say your an evil horrible person who scams, how can you live with yourself, and that's opinion, "evil" and "horrible" aren't measurable. That's just insulting and harassment.
