A) Pay attention to the trade in question. Every time the trade changes in the Trade Window you have to re-accept the trade by clicking that Tick Box.
B) Follow the Steam Trading Policy.
If you've been "scammed" out of items, it's no-one's fault but your own.
Trade status: Probation?
So he is basically free to cash in and to continue scamming in peace and that is fair?
People who do illegal stuff are not punished at all? Probation isn't a punishment. He can sell what he stole and he can still trade.
That being permanently on someones' account is quite a punishment, really. A whole heap of people would choose to never trade with someone who has the Probation mark on their account.
That is such a severe punishment. I don't think he will be able to sleep at night now. He could never move his items to a alternate account and cash in on 700$.
A new account from which he can cash in on stolen items is totally unheard of.
If he goes to jail and items get returned that's great.
If he goes to jail for what he did, that's good.
If he doesn't go to jail but is forever stopped from going near the place where he stole from, that's at least somewhat fair.
If he gets called THIEF, but can continue stealing and can cash out on what he stole. That isn't that fair anymore.
Ok everyone calls him a thief,but he enjoys a lot of money. That's a tough life for him. Really hard
2) How can you prove a scam? Like I said, if Valve would punish everyone who someone else calls a scammer, the trade system would go down right bucking now.
If i give a Bmw and a Audi for a Lamborghini and i get a fake knock off asian Lamborghini, then i would get my things back if in the papers it said Lamborghini instead of "Asian crap that looks just like it". He would at least be reprimanded in a way other then being called THIEEEF.
And you're completely right, Valve didn't punish /me scams or other scams like that, even though they were more then obvious. Fake name tag trades are normal. I think they should even put in a badge "Do your first scam".
Why protect people who put money in and want to have a good time here when we can protect people who are here to try to fool people out of their items. The whole trade system would go bucking down if we did that.
Imagine, I'll buy something from your. Overpriced. I'll ask you to sell me something worthless for too much. You'll agree (I mean, why not). I'll then ask Valve to get you banned for scamming. By your logic, you should be banned.
Besides, he didn't go unaffected.
If i want to buy a gold pen from you, i don't want to get a gold dusted pen because it looks just like it.
Yes i framed him, it is all a big conspiracy from me. I framed him into him putting a name tag on a cheap similar war dog. Also, there is a printscreen where it shows WHAT we agreed on trading. If you say that you should have gotten more, i would have the printscreens to prove that it was what you wanted. But if you tell me that i want this and you put a name tag on something that looks the same, that's scamming. I don't know why you even eat s.hit about that.
Trade probation is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. You're a fanboy with 648 games and try to find reason for actions. OK, i made the mistake, i shouldn't get the items back, fine by me. Him still being able to trade and actually use the items he stole, is actually unaffected.
He stole and he gets a thief tag, i'm sure that for getting 700$, he will be more the ok with that.
I'm not a fanboy, I just want to be safe in trading. Recently, I sold one crate for three weapons. IMHO it was overpriced, but not my problem. Now by your logic, I should get punished when he tells Valve. And I'm happy you're wrong. I want to be free to sell stuf overpriced if the traidng partner agrees.
There was a picture that shows what we agreed upon. I did not get what we agreed upon. He put a name tag on something to make it look the same. How could any police force know? Look at the printscreen/contract....
How can you compare overpriced items to name tag disguised items??
You get omg box for items, some boxes are really rare, oh so smart person. 3 weapons for a box seems overpriced to you, meanwhile he could have sold it for a full key or steam wallet money that overexceeds those 3 crap items that you are so overly proud of.
I feel really sorry for you and your limited horizons.
You made a big mistake, buddy (I am assuming you don't try to frame him although there's no reason not to). Happens. No one, in real life, protects you from gifting loads of money to a stranger and to be honest, if someone would gift me tons of money, I'd accept.
http://www.dota2.com/store/itemdetails/10009?appid=570 + a name tag
does not in any way shape or form equal this:
http://dota-trade.com/item=10033
It is worth 500 or more times more.
First item = over 100000 items like that
Second = 130 items.
If i walk up to you and say i wanna give you money that is on me. If i walk up to you and i say that i want to buy one thing and you paint something to look like i wanted, you basically steal.
I know your simple brain can't comprehend it, but trying reading it several times over maybe you will get it.
