Agreed, too bad most people can't discuss prices in a civilized manner and they often reply with things like "LOLOLL NICE TRY SCAMMOR!!1" (even when the price difference is just a few scrap) instead of "i think your price is a bit unfair because *insert valid/invalid reason here*".

Sometimes I wish there were a "like" button.

Is the user really breaking the rules?
Can you solve the problem by simply hiding the post? (If it is a phisher report him anyways)

Report system rule 2.
But you should not...

Report offers or trades that set what you think to be a price that is either too high, or too low.

Report unnecessarily. If the problem is minor and can easily be resolved by hiding the post, do just that. If the problem persists, feel free to report it.

Mistake the 'Post Reply' field for the 'Report' button. Yes, it happens.

Use the report function to threaten other users. (This happens way to much)

I would like to say a few words on how the report system works.
You press the report button, put in a reason and some words, and it is logged in our system.
We then go trough this system with all the other reports and evaluate them equally, we do not look if the user is a donator or not.
If you report every guy that you do not like because he lowballed your hat, then this system will be flooded with stupid reports that just waste our time.


A thing I have noticed when I do reports (rarely) Is that some of our users are extremely butthurt when it comes to other people commenting on their prices, weapons etc.

Its seriously come to the point where people report because other says "Well most users sell the same item for a much lower price so you may want to rethink your prices a bit."
LELELEL REPORTED FOR SPAM SCRUB GET OUT

Seriously? Can't players have an open discussion about prices anymore?
I know that this isn't everyone, but it does happen a lot!
I will probably use this thread to send to those whom this concern, cause it has become a major problem.

I will say that the trading market is open, and you are free to set what price you find suiting, but that doesn't been that there should not be open room for discussion about said price.

I hacked this kid with an unusual, then i took it and sold it for admin at tf2outpost

It's currently an unwritten rule under the "common sense" heading I think the intention there is that if you say "200% or more of the price will be closed" then these people will set their price to 199% and laugh whilst holding their little finger toward their lips ;)

If the player comes back he will get a notification that he has been inactive for too long, and that his trades has been closed or "frozen" but he can reopen them by pressing a button.
This function would only have a limited use.

Fixed that for you

Ip banning is a way to solve some of the problems, but it would cause a lot of problems.

At the moment it is extremely easy to get around an IP ban, just use a proxy, and you are done!
Ip banning all scammers wouldn't help either, because there are other people on their network that may not be scammers, as well as if they get unmarked they would have to go trough just another process to get their IP unbanned.

Another thing is that we are not scrap.tf stop associating us with them.
We are working on a system that will blacklist certain phishing sites, but the problem is that they are made all the time and it is a lot to keep track off.
We are currently working on it though, and we appreciate users reporting these phishers ASAP

Yes it does, and it will get you banned.

Keys are getting harder to get etc.

I dont think all the keysellers moved to a different site tho.

I went trough the search for keys for money and closed a lot who bumped the trade even tho they were out of stock, but i did find a lot who had keys in stock.

I could suggest going on tf2shop, it may cost a tad more, but they always have keys there.

logged into steam or logged in tf2o? Even if he logs in automatically sometimes, if he simply doesn't handle his deals for 7 months its still BS. And he is only an example, I think 10% of all trades on TF2O are dead and decomposing for many months.

is it ok to greasemonkey around those trades?

it is a simply decision, if a trade shows no action from the owner for two months I could hide it. there seem to be some scripts which seem to be sanctioned by Sneeza so I am optimistic. especially the tremendous powerful search filters are tempting...

Didnt know that you were here to rant and get so fucking butthurt over all this.

And yes we can close these trades, just report em.

Permanent.
