I think traders should keep one another informed of potential traders/scammers whose aim is to cheat.
I have particularly seen a few newbies, who joined barely a few days, but suspiciously demanding me to pass the item to them first.

Would be nice if we could keep one another informed to ward off such individuals in future.
In addition, we seniors traders should insist those juniors who has yet to build their reputation to trade their items first.

Death to newbies!

I find it funny to read that you're a "senior trader" and yet your profile says you're a new member.
But I agree there are potential scammers (clue: new members with less than 5 posts demanding to get theirs first) out there so I just ask anybody who trades with me to pass along theirs first unless we have traded before already.

I have 20 tapes
4 bolts
Need 24 planks. 1:1

Been trading actively with clean records for 2 weeks, but if you insist that's not senior enough, then no problem, I always offered to trade first. Those who traded with me will know :)

To be fair to those who are way senior, juniors (including me) should trade first no?
If not cheater, there's no worries right?

it would be nice if we can "protect" our, what once was a nice community.. by trying to inform others.

and, unfortunately, pm does not work, since the scammer refuses to reply you.

so, do you have any other suggestion?

When trading you can do a lot to protect your interests like Neit mentioned.

The problem is there is no easy way to draw the line in the middle so therefore we don't allow it at all.
Imagine how you would feel if someone called you a thief all over the forum when a simple mistake occured and they wouldn't listen to a word you say.

i understand that it wouldn't be nice if someone call you a thief, however, if it is a mistake, why don't they just simply reply their message with explanation? people would not start calling you thief if you are reasonable.

sorry for being so harsh, i just lost 15 stakes.
