Err just to clarify, if a bot is not a premium user and is still autobumping their trade just report them and we will permanently remove them from the site

"Get away" with stuff?

No they don't get away with it persay, if they close a trade that we would have just closed anyway then it doesn't really matter

If the user broke the rules to the extent of where they will get banned then they will be not depending on if the trade is open or not

Entirely irrelevant to a business though. But on the other hand not knowing what you can reasonably charge is a problem.

Tf2 outpost does very little in terms of computing and services.

Compare what tf2outpost does to something you like youtube...that site serves ridiculous amounts of data a day, even gmail serves millions, google, map sites, most any site does way more in terms of delivering value than outpost does. Outpost solves a relatively simple problem, 16 icons from a repeated database for user, we're not talking millions of unique icons or anything, its just a small finite problem and so to ask 60 dollars a year for it, is just bizarrely disproportionate to what it delivers. If even gmail started charging 60 dollars a year people would abandon it.

Beyond that, the volume of trading one would have to do to even justify 60 dollars is a little ridiculous.

But.. our service is completely free?...

Mine expires soon, I'll have to repay for admin :/

You have been rused by the ruse masters

Would you like me to hold your hand and brush your teeth?

It can not take up the whole damn page, it is noticeable to anyone entering the site, by far.

He most likely will not accept, based on what his profile says

As for the rest of this thread, Outpost will not go down because of this, one of the reasons being that if we do, they will just move on to different trading sites, NOTHING will change except outpost loosing massive amounts of users due to giving into phishing.

The best course of action would be to educate users, which we already do, there is already a thread on this forum that explains about phishing.
Feel free to help out instead of complaining, send that link to people not-so-smart or gullible enough to download that TF2 item generator.

Staff are humans to, we are not omnipresent and we have lives too.

Nothing on our end, probably your internet being slow and you being impatient

What are you on about?
We have several NEWLY ADDED features to detect phishing links and marking the BIG RED AND NOTICEABLE.

Report phishers and a member of staff will get to it ASAP, we are not going to shut down the site because of it, because believe it or not this happens everywhere.
This is the only complaint against us that we have had, we do all that we can to stop the phishing but fuck me, its not that easy is it?

It would depend on personal preference and monitor size
