yeah, I really cant see a way to get rid of them but there are ways to at least make them work more for it or take them longer to do it, and sorry for suggesting it if it was already suggested, I just thought about it and decided to post to try to help :D

I realize that not everyone on outpost plays or cares about tf2, but still, have at least X ammount of items or steam games to trade in that account, you have 0 items on tf2? cool, you can have items on dota or whatever. anyways, its just an idea.

I noticed since I started trading with higher end items, mainly buds in this case, every time I open a store I get at least one asshole posting phising links saying something like I accept please add me and of course, the phising link. Also if you check their bagpacks through the outpost bagpack thingie they literally have 0 items, since its a fresh made.
My idea was if possible, to make a restriction so you cant create a store or post in other people stores if you have say, no items in your bagpack, or less than 10 items :l It will at least make the phisers work the accounts just to loose them as soon as they are reported, it wont affect almost any of the real users since they have more than 10 items or whatever.
Just an idea to try to limit phisers and what not, or at least make it a step harder for them than just create a new account and just post phising links.

same here :( Ive been online for the past 2 and a half hours, still shows me to be offline, I went ingame and that didnt help

yeah, thats my point, he repeats the craft hat icon on all 9 stores and buys ANY craft hat on all of those stores, me on the other hand buy SPECIFIC dirty hats, all different, none relisted in any of my stores.

Ok, at least somebody notices the difference ._. I hope I dont get banned for this.

just saying, this person for example has 9 stores buying the exact same thing, is this relisting even if he states in all the 9 stores he is buying the same item? Im buying different items on 4 different stores but mine are considered relisting?

so as long as I put different hats that dont overlap and I ask for those specific hats I should be ok then

so, is it relisting or not if I open four stores buying 8 different specific hats on each of the stores?

well, that was my reasoning for asking why they were closed, but apparently its relisting

ok, thanks, that makes sense :D
