ok pretend that im from steamrep, can you prove me that you get scammed...
You can't, thats why you need chat history and trade history (and that is stupid too, since you can change your steam name and picture) and again you cant prove anything, steam too cant do anything since you didn't trade in steam trade window. Next time use middleman, but be careful some scammer pretend to be middlemans (change name and pictures). And for chat history dont know how long it stay in steam, sometimes when i add someone to trade i can see our chat history if we traded before but when i close chat window conversation is gone. You shoud be able to see chat history, find him in steam-your name-activity-trade offers-view trade history add him if he didn't block you. (try to change your name and picture before adding him) Wait for him to be online in some game and wait him to accept you request, then fast open chat window, because if he didn't block you and see chat history that he scammed you he will block you and than there is no way to add him again.
sry for my English but i think you understand what im trying to say

It's useless in the sense that it doesn't do anything much other than tell you whether a person is a scammer or not. You don't need to SteamRep if you have common sense though, and that's the problem with the majority

uh.. what the hell does the 'logic' of the site have to do with it? If it takes 5 months for a scammer to get recorded, then yes... the site is next to useless because by the time a scammer gets recorded, they've already moved on to another account or already have done significant damage. Seriously what the heck are you babbling about with 'logic'...

the idea behind steamrep is admirable, but they just don't have the people or the time to realise the sites potential and make it anything other than a fun little novelty.

NO ONE should place trust in steamrep at all. It is NOT a reliable indicator of whether or not someone you are dealing with is a scammer, and telling any one any different is actually pretty reckless and dangerous.
