Do not necrobump.

The sole fact that a "duped" tag is missing does not mean the item is not duped. It could be in a private inventory, or simply have not been detected by their scanners yet.

Trading with users banned for brokering for banned users is not against the rules.

However, if the user is brokering for marked users then stay away from them (and report them so they get marked).

For the first one you presume only logged in users are banned with their IP address as the account aswell, but take the case that someone without an account (the script used for the bots) just needs to trackdown the offers owner steamaccount and add him directly on steam by just checking every trade and the Trader and adding them into a Database which will be used as a source for adding the user saved in it.Basically it saves the SteamID first and then the Id is reinjected for adding the user without using the browser or the Add function of the Add Button.

There are dozens of trading sites, they don't need Outpost to do this. They don't even need to see a trade. The Web API is public, anybody in the world can farm Steam IDs from an unlimited amount of sources (steam forums, steam groups, steam-related sites, trading sites, reddit, etc).

For the third one I would reiter my proposition by letting the choice to the trader to show the trades to people below lvl10 (or any lvl given) and anon users.IMO Yes it would be discriminatory , but if a Trader has the choice to chose whom he wishes to trade with and filter people he doesnt wants to trade with it would be a proper feature and actually be the choice of the trader and not the website itself.I can relate that it would force lot of people to lvl up their accounts , but so do the people who own many fake accounts that have a lvl ranged between
0-7.It would be for mysellf more a security feature .

There are thousands of legitimate users with low levels. It's their choice if they want to spend money on levels or not, we will not implement features that will make harder for innocent people to trade, or force them into spending money to properly use the site.

For the Fourth one I just think these security measures ain't efficient enough to filter out those people who manage to scam people by using simple scripts to acquire Data on their Target/s.
Because as I see it the default user has to use the webbrowser and use function/button on the website. The "hacker" more like "skiddy" just takes a path without involving using the browser and is "scanning" the website on the available elements which includes the link of the Traders Steam ID.The path for acquiring the user /user/xxxx/resolve/community seems more that the script is requesting the Link which returns the steam ID link which doesnt seems to have any checks inbetween for veryfing the users authenticity/acces method and gives a path for saving in mass users trading/registered on the website in a Database.
I might be ignorant on some points maybe but this seems the most logical case imo.

The site does not allow one to requests too many Steam IDs at a time. And like I already said, they don't need Outpost to do this - even if we blocked IDs entirely they would still add people from their already compiled ID database.

Fifth one If it ruins the Sites's SEO by just showing public offers i might resuggest by giving the option to privatise the profiles on the site itself which means they will show a custom name on the site for the steam user and adding or see the steamprofile is hidden. Altough it will still be possible to post messages in trades or the profile itself. This option could aplly with Public,registered users only , Friends only , Private. [A bit like FB]

(a) this would still ruin SEO and (b) no trading site will ever allow people to keep private profiles/inventories - that's one of the ways we catch scammers.

Sixth one It might be true the phisher are actively banned , but as soon as a phisher account is banned , a new one is created by the owner of the old one. It's for that matter if the website or Information is requested on the site that it cannot be requested by software or programms not conventionnaly used for this (which excludes browsers unconventionnaly and conventionnaly used and includes unwanted scripts/programms downloading entire webpages for the purpose of scanning & reuse them).

It is Steam fault for allowing people to create thousands of accounts, not ours. We don't have the tools to control who owns an account or how many accounts one may have.

Conclusion: It's up to Steam to fix this problem at this point, and they don't care enough to do it.

Dont have exact details, but the last ticket I submited took just under a month to be addressed. I am in no way attacking the outpost staff. You guys work very hard to keep the site up and running. I am only questioning the strictness of the rules with such limited rescources.

The last ticket you submitted took 4 days to be addressed.
Check your facts before badmouthing us.

The insult rule has been around for three years now, and if one thinks it is too strict to expect people to respect their peers then they can do their trading elsewhere.

http://outpost.gg/bsod/ht2yty.png - clearly both users deserve the same punishment...

If someone harasses/insults you, report them. Do NOT fight back, EVER. There are rules, and there are people to enforce these rules. If you attempt to fight back you will suffer the consequences.

We have no trade/post ticket backlog, I don't know where this is coming from.

Also, we do this on our free time as it is voluntary work. If you expect staff online 24/7 to address tickets within a minute they are submitted then you are expecting too much.

Then you probably have a script/addon interfering with the site's functionality. Try disable any of those before using the site.

If you try to find Skyrim under Team Fortress 2 you won't get any results, of course.

Skyrim works fine: http://www.tf2outpost.com/search/238305748
Keys too: http://www.tf2outpost.com/search/238305835

It doesn't work with Bleed probably because there is none for sale at the moment.
