What makes this different from an autobump script?

First of all please calm down, I know getting scammed sucks but it's your responsibility to check whether a trader is trusted enough before actually making a trade and it's your responsability not to get scammed.

Second, this is not the right place to post a scam report, you should head here and read the guidelines. Make sure you provide as much information as possible. Claiming you were scammed without actual evidence won't help your cause.

Last but not least, yes the reputation system is for positive reputation only. If somebody has scammed you, harrassed you or didn't follow the rules leaving a negative rep on their page won't solve anything. You're supposed to report these people and let the moderators handle it. Either way that reputation system is being replaced entirely and all the comments will be lost anyway.

PS: Those items have passed through several hands before even reaching the guy who you're calling a scammer. How would you explain that? A word of advice, if a deal is too good to be true it probably is. You were offered $15 for items worth $2-3 tops? Sounds pretty legit.

Not too important but it would make the site more user friendly.

This also opens some loopholes. Say a regular user has a trade for bills -> metal/keys.. Can they make another trade that bills -> metal/keys "for their friend"?

You can simply list, on stock: 2 No point in opening a separate trade.

How would you know if the person they are trading for is a scammer?

Add them and check yourself.

Although I don't see the point in why the OP's done that in your link since his "friend" has a TF2OP account as well.

Why would you waste your time trading for other people?

Some people actually have friends, it's called doing a favor to someone. There are casual players out there who don't know and don't care about trading.

The only thing I see wrong with this is if you're trading on behalf of someone who was banned from outpost and/or a scammer.

Hello impatient person.

I just hope that this means that automumping 0 stock trades are an offense now, since there is a workaround.

Agreed. I also hope that mods have a way to see the last time a trade was bumped so that they don't close trades that have just went out of stock. Anyone who refuses to use this feature deserves to have their trades closed. It would be nice if there was an announcement to warn users about the change.

These trades will now slowly fade away in the search results and will let the first couple of pages be populated with relevant trades instead. :)

Ok thanks.

I forgot that trades get closed due to inactivity, haven't bumped them for a week and now some of my trades were automatically closed. My question is, do mods have the ability to reopen closed trades?

I know I can simply recreate the trades but that would mean I'd have to say goodbye to all my comments and bookmarks so I'm just wondering.
