been going through these forum rules...
Was hoping to find a paragraph that proves that action will be taken if a scam ingame has been advertised on these forums. With that proof I would've defended my cause in this thread, since so many people are calling me a scammer. With confirmation of such a rule i might appease potential investors by demonstrating that I am aware of the ownage ccp would bestow upon me in case i was scamming.
but 'lo and behold! there is no rule as far as I can tell. Am i going blind or is the story that 'you are not allowed to scam on these forums' just a folklore myth?

after looking in the sell order forum rules (Linkage)i DID find this :
Quote: 5. Posting scam auctions and sales are not permitted here.
It has no mention wether any action ingame (besides forum banning or something) will be taken nor what their procedure is.
i would REALLY like a MOD reply on this one please, clear it up for us once and for all.

Edited by: Traxio Nacho on 27/03/2006 09:35:54 Scamming on the forums isnt allowed as you have posted.
However your better off sending a e-mail to the mods to get a response.

Scamming on the forums we dont allow, but not saying it cant be done. If there is enough proof that the auction is a scam, we will lock it and a possible ban depending on the type of sale. Theres not much more we can do other than that. CCP has said that scams are a part of the game environment, so the player base must accept that. The only scams that CCP does take seriously are ones that involve real life currency such as character transfers, and Game Time Code sales. Over all, we do not allow scams to happen, but if no one tells us that the auction is indeed a scam, theres no way for us to stop it. If you do have any questions, or comments mail us at [email protected]
I will be locking this now. If you wish to continue discussion mail us.

IMO its up to players themselves to make sure they dont get scammed, CCP dont do anything about scams ingame because they think its up to the players to make sure they dont get scammed and that they trust the right ppl, and i dont think the mods should interveene on the forums either
why should there be a safe place to trade? theres no sutch thing as safe in eve so they should realy change that rule. scamming is a profession just like pirating. i hate scammers but i love eve and the fact that nothing is safe so they should blow up rule .5

Ok, judging from my inbox, this seems to require some clarification. We do not allow scams on the forums, they just make something slow and hardly useable even more slow and less usable. Unfortunately we have very limited capabilities to check up on what actually is a scam and what isn't, so basically a GM needs to contact us and ask us to lock a thread because it is a scam. Since we would need confirmation that a scam really is a scam, we would need it from a GM, so emailing us won't do much good. And we really don't have time to go bug the GMs on things that aren't even against the rules in game.
As for bans, we will only really ban for character and time code scams, though in those cases the scammers will already have been banned by the GMs.
The only exception I can think of would be if someone repeatedly scams, get told by us not to, and continues anyway. Then we might consider warning or banning that person.
