the problem is not receiving stolen goods but their easy liquidation.

new suggestion - block nigerian ips, they are notorious scammers.

can u also explain why phishing is a bigger problem.
is that the most common scams.

log into the steam software or on web? if so, quite powerful

ty, i forgot about dota 2 players. 50 cent... if it is that cheap that it defeats my suggestion, by setting up multiple clean accounts.

however do u know how steam rep detects alt acc

phishing is a small problem. Liquidation is the KEY. when not signed in, search and target traders - convenient; check bp - convenient, access to steam profile - for adding later. pretty much the same applies to f2p. Access to this INFORMATION is too easy.

there are many f2p players but very few f2p traders = imaginary.

new suggestion - limiting the search function

Make it hard for them to find us

ja, they should do this and that, if they listen to the mother.

thousands of f2p players stay f2p, keep trading but never become premium...
its like chicks kept being fed, but never grow up.

i called those imaginary chicks. they either die or mature

another innocent fairy. this is not fairyland, people buy cheap stuff when they see it. have you sprinkled moral dust over them? norby89?

im not sure if you can find someone's steam profile with just the name. even if they can, it significantly increases their cost. they dont know what we have, how rich we are, are we trading or not...etc, instead of the nicely lay out op trades, SEARCH and easy ACCESS.

i have been trading for a while, i havent not met/traded/talked to f2p on op more than 1 player a month. they are not active, they dont need the function.

this only limits f2p acc trading function, when they were never active the 1st place.

It's not.

---------------------------

f2p acc dont have the virtual wealth to trade on op. they also dont have enough slots. if they start trading lots of things, they wont stay f2p. the no of hours may not be detectable so lets drop it.

im saying simply remove the links to traders' profile and functions to add on op for F2P AND NOT SIGNED IN ACC, since they are not active, this will not hurt much. they can leave messages but cant add.

operation cost is that now they have to set up premium acc for professionals, do a bit more cover up to scam before it gets tagged.

this also prevents casual scamming and there are so many ways to scam, we CAN NOT let them to FIND US and LIQUIDATE.
