Jordan Palmer Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Hey all. Well I've been thinking hard about what MD said about sick off scammers and I think should/could take some off these scammers :D There is a new board under ''General'' Called ''Blacklisted'' users Here users can write about users which have been known to scam/ripp me off, They can supply screenshots and This will potentially help keep new comers to the web development industry safe, Which will help them stay around which will keep this forum growing at a faster rate AND bring in more post's and crap a day, It'll also take out those scammers and so which are known to those who have been around for a while Here's an example off what I had in mind -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Makewebgames > General > Black Listed users > Mdshare Nickname; MDShare IM; [email protected] How he scammed you; He said he'd sell me http://makewebgames.io then he sold me www.criminalexistence.com, Then he said he'd sercure my game and all he did was put some shit in header and charged me $150 Date; 29TH February 2010 Site Link; www.example.com Screenshots; Screenshot of MSN convosation - ect. When you contacted him/her what did he/she say? [20:00]Mdshare says: you got scammed bitch =) Other info; I've attached a convo log from MSN.. Your advice to others; If he ask's you to buy http://makewebgames.io you shouldn't blah blah I think this is a good idea, I maybe haven't explained it right but meh you know what I'm getting at.. Whatcha think? Or maybe you got a suggestion like this? come on guys help :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrx Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Good idea if posters stay within in the format of what you laid out in the 1st post (or similar) Needs to be moderated well or it turns into a Bad Idea quickly 2c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdshare Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 flaws: MSN convos can be edited Barely any info can be published due to privacy policies and the data protection act nickname X could be a total different person at another community, so indirectly you destroy a good persons reputation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostriders Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 i think the best way would be the KARMA function way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reek13 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I think the idea is good but it has flaws to it , MD listed most of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_bertrand Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Karma on the forum you mean? Useless as those which post more automatically get more karma (as others will just give more points) but that doesn't mean you can trust them more. Sadly scamming is a huge issue on Internet, and I don't believe we will be able to solve it with a site of "wanted" people (which we don't actually have real proofs as you could create from scratch such wanted page like you did about MD), nor we know the true name (which wouldn't really help). A solution would be to work with some secure signature, like you register somewhere (showing your ID card or something) and those give you a PGP signature or whatever else. Once this is issued, you would need to show it all the time (a PGP signature is like a private key / public key solution where your message is hashed with your private key, other people can check both the message and your key with the public key). However that would require something on the forum side, to allow PGP or equivalent, and we would need to register somewhere by giving all the details. The pro of such system is that you can certainly NOT create multiple accounts (or way not that easily, as it requires a copy of your ID card, and usually your are called back), will ensure that we know with whom we speak, and if someone of those trusted people do something bad, he/she can easily be spotted and kicked out. The con, is that all this will be complex to setup, would require you guys to go through a complex registration, and quiet certainly would have a cost.

Zero-Affect Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 it all sounded good till you said it would cost me... Goodbye berty nice idea lol A signature isn't such a bad idea or some kind of company (ie you with zend). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_bertrand Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 well could be investigated... but at least for a cost it would be a time cost somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Palmer Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 I think the idea is good but it has flaws to it , MD listed most of them Everything has flaws but you have to work around them to make sure there isn't any ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
