like thieves and stuff.

just wondering

Because some people actually accept that it's their own fault if they get scammed?
and not everyone's first thought is to go make a whiny thread on the forum

On a side Note: Good job being a hypocrite Ensoriki, you called him ignorant, but by claiming that anything he says to you is "undesirable" you made yourself in change look ignorant to the fact that some of his statements may be "desirable". In fact you're committing prejudice as well.

You realize this now?
I thought I told this board over the course of the entire year, I R TEH NOOB.
Also BTW: I mean the comments he has made up to now are undesirable, what he might and will say in the future are not of my concern.

Because then you ruin their experience.
If your going to ban them fine, thats private.
No reason to go and put there names up publicly that they are unfit to play with.
It's just tactless.

Thats like saying

A bad actor is always a bad actor.
You can get acting lessons.

Our policy on "scammers" that you can find in the Sell and High End forum rules:

Guild Wars Guru and the Mention of Scammers

Yes, we hate scammers just as much as you.

So why don't we let people "announce" scammers, why don't we keep running lists? Because we have no way of proving if that's what truly has happened. You can present us with all the screenshots, videos and more in the world and still it doesn't prove anything. Screenshots and videos can be edited, can be changed. Snippets of conversation can be cut out. We've seen some convincing stories in our time only to find out that things were not as they seemed. Or, that the person was set up.

Guild Wars Guru is NOT responsible for what goes on in game. We can not verify what goes on ingame, we can not get the full story, we can not know if someone is manipulating a story since we weren't there.

If it's truly a case of someone being scammed and you have proof, bring this to Arenanet. We can't make decisions for arenanet, we can't tell if this was legit or if you just need to watch yourselves better and be more cautious. If it's truly as outrageous and serious as you mention, then let Arenanet take care of their own game and their own people within that game.

We hope you can all understand the position we have to take on this. Screenshots and Videos are not an evidence. The proof is only available on the side of the Arenanet servers. As we said above, we've seen some good honest people set up, we've seen some great photoshop work in our time, and we've seen people deliberately edit out snippets of conversation before. We are only responsible for what happens on these forums. We are not responsible for what happens in game or the situations that people put themselves in.

If You Have Been Scammed

Also, if someone has scammed you in a trade arranged here, or has claimed to be from Guru, do two things:

1. Report it at http://support.guildwars.com/.

2. Send a PM (do not make a post) to an Guru administrator, listed here. Include relevant screenshots, IGNs, and information ONLY if this is a situation where someone claims to be a GWG staff member and is trying to mediate a trade. Any posts or threads accusing someone will be edited, closed, and/or deleted.
