Setting A Term For Sharking
Sharking is one of those hard to define things.
Because it is really hard (basically impossible) to see evidence within steam(trade) chats.

Deception of a new player is a large part of what is wrong about sharking.

I think a set standard (criteria) would be a great idea
Put into consideration the hours of each user. (Age of account)
Their previous trading experience.
And how large of a one sided trade it was.


No veteran trader offers or expects to get a god tier hat for a bills hat, if their excuse was I offered and they accepted, it isnt a good excuse because they had a slight expectation that the low offer might be accepted beforehand by looking at the other users profile and seeing they were new.
However, if i user goes around outpost and finds a trade for a god/high tier hat with an extremely low buyout. That shouldn't be in the category of sharking, as a seller posting a trade and asking for a price, you should expect that every seller on outpost has access to price guides and resources to find item values. ( Category should be: "quickselling" )
Same can be said about when a god/high tier hat gets offered on a low(-er) tier hat, and you just accepted it. However, it should be noted that if the seller was a very experienced trader and he knew the offer-er was new to try to make the trade a bit more 'fair'. (But i don't necessarily think that should be required)
In the case of lamebro, he was selling his unusual he was expecting 10-11 buds and overpay in unusuals and was offered that beak, he accepted because he was already expecting unusual overpay. Both were unpriced hats (No price suggestion on a pricing guide;bp.tf) , so it was up to the offer-er to have looked for other more experienced traders to give a price estimate on both hats before committing to an offer.

Veteran traders who actively seek out new players to greatly profit, probably don't lie about item values (or perhaps they do). But because, most of the time, they are actively exploiting new traders, they aren't a good member of the tf2 outpost community and should be dealt with. These active 'sharkers' are the real problem that should be dealt when deciding to ban for sharking.
