Be careful out there
No you are not allowed to name and shame on the forum.
there is a scammer doing the rounds. I will PM you the name in case its the same person
No, naming and shaming aren't allowed, you may have to take into account that they may not be aware of the unspoken trading rule. Are they a forum user? If so you could always contact them via PM and explain how you feel :)
Hope this helps, glad you didn't lose anything, unfortunately I think we all know how frustrating it is to lose out on a trade :)
Happy farming!
How do you almost get scammed on a trade? :confused:
Yes, pls tell us the chronology...Quote:

Obviously, don't respond to anything that makes you uncomfortable. Even if it turns out that they are legitimate players, you don't have to respond to anyone's post that you find iffy, but reporting the forum friend requests could help keep other players from getting trapped.
For SC, so we create a rule based on a small amount of cases where people are legitimately, and usually, recognize it, but the people that are really scammed can't express their frustration.Quote:

On the other hand why note a rate program?
Like the one we have on the app store, you meet a good person or feel that you got a god trade, you rate the player from 1 to 5 (or any other scale), sure you can argue that some people could come and give all 1's to everybody just because i didn't like your avatar, didn't buy all the wheat or sell all the sugar they have, but the world isn't perfect and scoring has always been accepted.
What do you think?
Well... first of all, this is not a free forum, it is owned by SC and they are free to set whatever rules they like. (If you have seen any of the knock-down, drag-out nasty "fights" on the trading thread you can understand why they don't allow name and shame!)Quote:

How about we just accept the rules and the possibility that now and then a trade will go bad???
i do accept that trades can go bad because, from my point of view, is impossible on any system that involve people to make things a 100%.
And i'm ok with it, since i too make mistakes.
What i have said is that i should be able to alert other players that trading with someone is more "difficult" then with others.
I'm not just talking about trading, i'm talking in general, that is why we have a stick post stating that SC never ask for our password :), but no name.
I do understand that allowing people to name each other is the best way to flame the forum with post's that don't really increment the game in anyway but that is why i made a suggestion, but also "closing your eyes" don't make a problem disappear.
To make my final statement on this thread, since i made my point and have no interested in starting a conversation about something without a solution i mind i just like to state that as far as i'm concerned i think hay day community is one of the best, if not The Best, community online where people really care about each other and try to make things work for all of us.
To end: Thank you very much to all my friends and all future friends and players that make this community what it is :)
PS: I would like to add that i'm not against forum rules in anyway, and i do understand that this a private forum were you accept the rules for gain access, i'm just against not having a mechanist to report things that mislead on purpose
