Scammer List

i think to compliment the good buyer/seller list, we should have a sticky scammer list. Post scammers so you can scroll through the list and make sure the buyer/seller youre dealing with isnt on the list.

no hate, but this is an awful idea. peoples selling reputations can be ruined due to angry kids who dislike a certain member, and also kids who get every worried when they do not get their stuff right away could jump to conclusions and immediatley come here. people should just be smart with their purchases, and check a persons feed back and have their personal information before buying. im pretty sure there have been stickied threads here before explaining how to be a well informed and good buyer.

i respect the idea and yes i do agree that sometihng should be done, but thi may not be the best path. but it could certainly end up being a great advantage to buyers.

This thread needs to be deleted.  I could see how one would think it to be a good idea, but it's pointless.  Should be deleted, don't need nonsense for BST, NSG is already full of shit.  Like TheClap said, we have a feedback section for a reason.

Not hating, just saying, plus, I don't think too many people actually look through the good buyer/seller list.  I think it was created awhile ago (2005?) when NS was much smaller and you could see who was legit and who wasn't.  I don't use it, feedback is much faster/easier.  NS might not have had feedback back then.  Sorry if you took it as hate.  You're fairly new, so I'll cut you some slack.

Yes, thank you.  Feedback renders threads like this and the 500 pages of the good/bad seller thread completely useless.  Do you really search through all that to find if someone is legit?  That would take at least an hour.

the reason i thought this would be a good idea was because i didnt want to sort through the list so a liost of scammers would be much smaller eh?

It would still be worthless though and time consuming once it did get big.  If you want to find out if someone is legit, look at their feedback.  It's really simple and people are great about updating it when they make a transaction.
