Community Alerts

[Benjamin]

As we all know, we can't see Deal Disputes, this may sometimes play against people when trading, they can't see who has been scamming and users aren't restricted from trading.

I'd suggest a section named Community Alerts, where people can post suspicious activities, Skype imposters, etc.

Usually when people scam, the person scammed would make a dispute or tell a mod and they will look into it.

Basically the board you're advertising is just a public dispute board, yes?

I'm sure any scammers are dealt with, and it seems it'd be kinda hard to pinpoint suspicious activities (unless they make it painfully obvious, I've seen it before haha)

Plus that's why there's iTrader, to tell you about the seller, though I suppose that's not too helpful in all cases huh?

No disputes would be posted, only warnings, for example, if I was to loose my Skype, I'd post there for people not to deal w/ that Skype, instead of posting in the General Discussion or whatever.

I agree it'd be kind of hard, but with just a few of easy questions it's pretty easy to catch someone who wants to scam you, for example, if the user does not want to use a MM, it's most likely a scam. Just things that can be pinpointed with common sense.

Most times there are decent amounts of money scammed, they are by trusted users, not people who joined a day or two ago.
