You can post pictures, but edit out the name. The message could potentially be out of context and that may have been the reason he or she was not banned. Support has a much greater influence than us anyways.

People who try to scam others need to be called out and plastered for everyone to see in my opinion. So thank you. However, if by request STS devs ask you not to post their names. Feel free to post names/screenshots and slander the heck out of them on the STS fan forums! We welcome and encourage everyone to let us know of any scammers so that we can assure none of our friends get scammed (also so we can troll them).

So head on over to www.stsfanforums.com and put this guy on blast there! :)

Thank you once again for the name.

Well, the case you presented here is a scam in common sense but it is not against ToS (terms of service)

Everything what is going inside the trade window is legit. It's between you and other player and you are in full control of the situation. Trade window has TWO CONFIRM buttons - so it is kinda scam-proof. It is not fool-proof though so newbies can be tricked into scam but still - they should think TWICE and remember that free cheese is only in the mice-trap

You know what's my opinion? Why do he scam people? Because STS didn't knew that! The proof is that he can freely saying he'll spamming people and he never, EVER got banned! Other proof is that some people selling their guild and STS never give'em a warning. What do you expected? Try to think like this...
"STS made the rules, but they never give me a warning. So... do I actually can break the rules? OF COURSE I CAN!!!"
The one guilty is... both the scammer (because he didn't follow the ToS) and the STS itself! (because they never banned scammers!)

THEY'RE BOTH GUILTY!!! I don't care if I got banned because I'm saying this! Because that's the truth! I'll never, ever got shaken if I do the right thing!

Scammers... you should know that what you're doing are wrong. You take things other people have search hardly... didn't you feel guilty?

Spacetime Studios... you're the one who made the rules. Didn't you feel angry? I mean, you've take a long time to write ToS, and there are still someone who break it! Also, do you guys forgetting us and busy makikng Arcane Legends? If you're, I suggest you to make a 2 groups of people who make the game and seeing other Legends.

There are no a guilty one... because there are 2 PEOPLE WHO ARE GUILTY!!!!

Um, STS does ban scammers. When they scam and are reported. These things take time as they need to review the chat logs.

Frankly speaking i think that this really should be more of the conscious moral choice of a person than just obeying rulles out of fear

But there is part of truth in yo words young padawan)) some people learn their lessons only when there is someone to give em these lessons..

So i'm reallly glad Morf and Bod made that site so we can reveal the scammers - we can teach them a lesson or two. Though we need to keep the line and do not overuse it. Every case there will be revised and researched before we go troll those dudes





Spacetime Studios... you're the one who made the rules. Didn't you feel angry? I mean, you've take a long time to write ToS, and there are still someone who break it!

hahahaha! I feel ya in this case!! You are new here and it's understandable that you raise this question.. But hey! It was raised hundreds of times before)) you can search forums for 'drama' keyword and have fun reading..

The situation now is changing as we all hope - some changes are visible (like weapon contests and Sam or Gibber answering our questions sometimes) but other changes are more of 'under the hood' kind..

Sure global STS startegy seems to be aimed on making new products yearly, but it seems they start to learn how to manage old games too.. So give em a break for now please.. I heard guys are working overtime to get us new cap update as soon as they can

May the Force b with us all - we are like a big symbiotic organism - we feed from content, STS feeds from platinum :D

One love!
