deal dispute sections for after you get scammed

this is for before, for people to actively post in and alert staff when there's an active/obvious potential scammer thread

yea ig, only thing is that staff don’t ban anyone until after they scam lol. that’s why they always require proof of the scam before banning anyone

ig that too but what if there's a known multi that's in the tag section posting multiple numerous threads selling the same phony stuff but with different kiks in each thread, and some silly newcomer comes along and gets themselves scammed real quick?

Meanwhile, a more notable, wiser, experienced member like yourself could have saw that thread, copied that link, clicked marketplace discussion, click the stickies "Scammer Alert!?" thread and post a link and voila you might have prevented a scam yourself.

Some might ask why not report post?

Well, sometimes they don't always get it fast enough.. and this way, you have more activity and awareness that a potential scam threat may be occurring on the site...

This is all to prevent scams, my friend, so we don't have to ever click the deal dispute section.

rules of the thread are you can only post links. no user is tagged or anything. The staff simply gets an alert, and checks the thread link.

No hassle, no argument, just staff moderating with the help of good members.

This will save members a lot of arguing by giving them a chance to direct the issue straight to Staff without having to post something and get harassed by a scammer , etc. They can just post a link, and bam, Staff can go look. It'll also lower the amount of times they have to be tagged, it's always annoying I'm sure for one hot thread to happen and then suddenly @/poop gets like 20 alerts all from different members. This can allow 1 alert, and he can go straight to the source with his own input.
