Caution Tag

[Andy B.]

So recently I've been wandering the forums and I've noticed a certain amount of users have a lot of people claiming that they've seen them scam and they have a lot of proof, but they never make the report. Or if they do make the report, the scammer pays the money back and then a month later another report is made with the same reason. This is kind of worrying me and I hope this suggestion can lower the scamming rate down a bit.

What's my suggestion? My suggestion is that we add what's called a "Caution Tag". A Caution Tag is basically a tag that is given to a user for having more then 2 scam reports on them and in the scam reports the user claimed to be scamming but paid the money back. A user could also receive a caution tag if they've scammed more then 2 people and never replied to the user until a scam report was made and they paid the money back.

What would a Caution Tag look like? It would look something like this except more yellow with black lines going diagonally across it. There would also be some sort of icon that would look like this next to it.

I'd love to hear improvements and feedback on this suggestion! If you agree or disagree with it, please tell me why in the replies and we can maybe improve this possible feature as well.

I know this isn't his suggestion, but it's similar. A 'CAUTION' tag for users with a scam report open on them? Just so you know that they have a scam report, and could potentially be exit scamming, or what not.

That suggestion has been made about 4 times this week and denied each time, users are innocent until proven guilty and we're not going to hinder someones ability to get new clients because of a scam report against them that they might not have even been involved in.

There is no middleground for guilt in scamming in my opinion, either you did or didn't. If a scam report was made against me and M6 said that I had to pay back within 24 hours and I comply to pay them back then I didn't scam and shouldn't be punished for it, it can just be considered to be a misunderstanding. If I get 24 hours to pay back the money and I don't, then I'm a scammer and am permanently banned.

I don't understand the point of this suggestion really, but I'm just glad it's unique. Can you explain?

I know it's a bit hard to understand but this tag would only apply to users that took money from someone and didn't respond to the user they scammed until a scam report was made. They would also get this tag if they admit they were going to scam but ended up not scamming and paid the money back. Correct me if I'm wrong but if you say you were originally going to scam but ended up paying the money back when M6 told you to, that wouldn't be attempting to scam, right?

Overall to sum it, if everyone knew you were scamming the user and you decided to admit that you were planning to scam the user but did the right thing and returned the money, you wouldn't be banned (because you didn't keep the money) but you would receive the Caution Tag.

 

[oh true]

How about it's given to the user if they've been online since the scam reported was opened and they clearly ignore it?

Take this with a grain of salt, but maybe we could add an "In dispute" tag instead of a bright red and evil looking "Caution" tag.
The In Dispute tag could be added to people who have a scam report against them, of course it has to be approved by M6.
It makes users aware that there is a scam report against them, maybe clicking on that In Dispute tag could link them to the scam report they are in dispute with.

Saw a little suggestion for that on a thread.

Mick just said he denied four suggestions like this in one week and he said no to someone who suggested pretty much the same thing in this thread.

Aight, not like I'll ever have that tag

 

[DroneGG]

Sounds like a good idea.

This has already been suggested under a bit different circumstances and guide lines, but basically it's the same thing.
And got rejected.

1. this is not "your" thread, it's a suggestion thread that happens to be made by you, meaning that any sort of discussion related to the suggestion is perfectly allowed. Including that post.
2. it IS very similar. both talk about users receiving a tag or flag when they've got a scam report open or pending. Whether it's one or more than one, and already open or pending.
your suggestion has an additional feature where people who dont reply until a scam report was made and then pay back still receive it.
This is a part of the suggestion that im not necessarily opposed to, but I advise extreme caution with (heh), because it depends very much on the nature of the deal. I've seen scam reports because people failed to respond inside of 1 hour. Often not even because they were in the middle of the transaction.

I told him to get off because the whole comments (including Mick) has said that this is different and not the same as just receiving a tag for an open scam report. This suggestion is not for just having a scam report open on you, it's completely different. It may be similar but it doesn't mean it's "Basically the same".

So, how is your idea different?[DOUBLEPOST=1516053109][/DOUBLEPOST]Changing the tag from this,

I think they should give the tag when they have reached their verdict to refund, or give back, therefore allowing users to know that he has the ability not to fulfill his dues, but he could, so he can this caution tag when the verdict has been reached in the scam report.

 

[Jinxed]

I wouldn't say that the idea is different but rather with a l'il twist to it. They server the same purpose.
And don't get me wrong, it's not that it is a bad idea, but it has been rejected more than one time from what i know.[DOUBLEPOST=1516053546][/DOUBLEPOST]And like Mick said,

Users are innocent until proven guilty. If you’ve had a bad experience with someone and you feel they scammed you, you can open a scam report but they are always quickly checked by M6 first before being publicly posted so a system like this wouldn’t work anyways.

This one is much more promising and also can implement the suggestion on your thread.

Used by other forum similar to MCM called [Censored] it would be a really good idea but there are trollers that will fake scam reports... it is unnecessary to add this but highchances if the scammer is real and scams another person in the same day and it'd be worse, well i am not sure.. maybe adding to his signature REPLY TO YOUR SCAM REPORT (M6GAMING) and posts the link or getting more scam resolvers to solve scam reports as i believe M6gaming has a life and can't get on but you can't find a decent person who is better than m6gaming, or fit to be a scam resolver.

It's different by the way they're receiving it, not by the way it appears.
