Hello, recently, the number of scammers significantly increased.People are being annoyed everyday and dont know what to do because moderators are really busy and cant deal with everything.

That issue also applies to steamtrade ,which became a happy place for scammers.

So we thought the steamgift community could help and does something about this.

Too bad cg is too busy not appointing people to moderate steamtrades even though I volunteered to help out again.

It's not like people really want to trade anyway, right? Right...?

Yeah, steamgifts.com doesn't need moderators at all, I'm sure the Support page has all it's tickets answered.

Heh. What Yatterman said. I set up that ticket as a place to co-ordinate loko's efforts where he was most needed. Very effective rather than spamming a mess of tickets at him whenever he was online.

What do you suppose the Steamgit community could do?

They're a bunch of gits!

We should totally register steamgits.com and turn it into a wiki-based database of gits. Maybe with a steamroller or two as a means of monthly pruning.

Well, community could alert admins, who have many things to do, cg proved in the past he grants a lot of attention to the welfare of community and thus, if we tell him he will do something about this.

Too bad he hasn't done a single thing to benefit the site for the past month and all that has been happening is it slowly breaking down and becoming complete shit. I wouldn't even trust posting a trade on steamtrades anymore.

Since there is no support sometimes I think it should be ok to call people out. But in the end this would lead into a witchhunt.

Toaster, I choose you!

Or that's not the right kind of calling out?

There's nothing wrong with calling people out now. They post trades that break the rules, but there is nobody to do anything about it. Therefore it is up to the community to self moderate, and there's still nobody to ban people for calling them out anyway.

But rest assured, when someone gets the time, the out-callers will be banned first!

Well, I don't know how much moderation two sites of this volume means, but moderating a smaller forum of my JKA clan can be quite messy too if there's not a lot of mods around, both on the forum and especially ingame. And that's a very small community as of now; we have around 80 members at max, of which only like 40 are really active on the forum, and a lot less ingame (talking about the clan members of course, didn't count our traffic). This community here has its numbers way much more into the thousands. Like I said, I have no idea how much work SG or ST needs, but it's definitely not going to survive without proper moderation.

In SteamTrades The problem now is the Impersonators Scammers. Is really hard fight vs Those scammers because use a lot of different accounts and is impossible ban. Other users and me make post to advice the new users about this type of scam. For example:
more info
More info
Mine: More info

I Recently send a message to CG, is really necessary create an alert in web about this.

Takes time, since only cg is running support atm. He'd have to be an octopus with 4 monitors to manage all the things that need to be done on the site promptly.

"contacted steamtrades on mail"

There's your problem right there. The mail is a remnant of the pre-Support era, lost in the mists of time. Not sure why it's still clinging to life, but no-one looks at it (cg's the only one who can anyway).

there is no support button on steamtrades,what im i supposed to to,open a ticket about steamtrades in steamgifts? It sounds even more stupid.

Yeah, actually (if you didn't notice, the e-mail on ST is also heading for SG :P). A dedicated ST support was going to be in the works after the SG support was finished, but that requires people to staff the damn thing and Yatterman was the only mod brave enough to touch ST related crap.

Cant blame him for that.People pull all kind of crap in ST.Coming to SG,it is just unreasonable blocking out people who want to help.I hope sg support gets some mods soon.

He's also the only one smart enough for it. I can deal with it if I absolutely have to, but Yatterman can find more convincing evidence in a fifth of the time I can come up with something. He refuses to teach his godlike abilities to others out of fear they will be used by the wrong hands and bring about the Doom.

The answer I got from Jade 2 weeks ago in the Support section: "We already have eyes on a few, but there's nothing you can do that we can't right now, so right now we're focusing on giving the current support more abilities." Then Support got fucked. Amazing.

R.I.P. Support.
