Then why even allow backpack.tf links since that encourages fixed prices, and is a competitor (with the classified listings) .... you are kind of making my point for me.

Because it's an open market? The moment you tell people what to do or not to do it's not open any more. I think everyone can agree that backpack.tf is a price checking site, as long as you don't advertize your classified listings on OP you're not really doing any advertizing. This is starting to go in circles.

Own bot with a website hook should we fine as long at it doesn't scam people, for this I would try to get it verified first.
backpack.tf links are fine

Why are backpack.tf links not considered advertising? It is another site and they also do have a trading feature making them a competitor. Seems like some double standards.

Maybe because 99% of traders use it for price checks, while other sites are pure competition.

I'm pretty sure anyone spending 7 buds on a hat perfectly knows what they are doing.

While you're adding the quick search button on summaries back, please add 2 buttons. First to find sellers (the old functionality) and one to find buyers.

1. From a scammer's point of view, I don't see how this would be an obstacle. Getting an item/game can be done without a problem.
2. This would only add a new layer of complexity with little to no affect, as mentioned above.
3. You'd be surprised. With a "big catch" they can make hundreds if not thousands of dollars in a matter of minutes. Paying $1 for a new chance to hijack someone rich is nothing to them. As for using hijacked accounts to spread phishing links, there have been several threads on the forum about this. Also if you check some of the accounts that are posting the links, they have months of trading history.

Phishing is a huge problem, I agree. However if you think about it, most of these suggestions wouldn't change much if anything at all.

1. You don't need Premium in order to trade, it wouldn't be nice to alienate a large part of the userbase.
2. Not everyone using OP is a TF2 player. Makes no sense to get Premium in TF2 if you only trade Dota 2 items or games.
3. Scammers can use hijacked accounts to continue spamming or buy old accounts cheap on the black market.

mookbark.

No official reason has been given. Question is why does everyone have to create a new thread?
