Hello. I Appreciate this post may get a lot of hate however this is an idea that me and my friend Nine were just thinking about. As you guys know a very reputable member imprank has exit scammed. Me and nine predicted that prank was going to exit scam and in our opinion it was quite obvious that he was going to exit scam 0 Nine told aliensushi around a month before it happened and a lot of people were effected by this exit scam. However i wouldnt say it is the peoples fault - he had 194 rep and he was "trustworthy." Multiple other people have exited scammed including Suffer (sadly i was a culprit :v) and Fraud. I feel like if a reputable member has a scam report on them they should be prioritised. I will give some examples here however there are multiple scam reports on reputable members that in my opinion should have been giving priority.

Here is the scam report on imprank made in April 2019 https://www.mc-market.org/threads/469269/page-2 I will admit it was a very hard scam report to resolve due to the fact there were 2 "convincing" arguments in this scam report towards the start however massively learning towards massis favour in the end IN MY OPINION. However throughout this scam report it was extremely spaced out taking almost 3 months to solve giving prank more time to exit scam. In my opinion one of these reasons prank exit scammed was due to the fact he knew he was not going to win that scam report. In my opinion he should have been pushed to fully refund massi. Also i have noticed new scam reports are taken on only when some of the ones which are being solved right now have been solved. However i feel like once again if a reputable member has a scam report on them i feel like that should get answered as soon as possible.

I really feel like this should happen. Before anyone complains this does not mean scam reports on other MCM users should not be dealt with at the same speed however in my opinion i feel like a scam report on a reputable user which does not look good on there end should be given top priority. Suffer (I know he wasn't that reputable) managed to exit scam apparently around 5k im not sure how much prank exited but it will be over 5k. This is a massive effect for the community especially for the new people on this community who just want to buy a really nice account.

I know the second idea has been suggested a ton of times however i really feel like it would be beneficial for especially new users on MCM. New users on MCM will probably not research the account and research the user before buying an account as thoroughly as someone who has had a decent amount of time on mcmarket. I know for sure when i was new to mcmarket i didn't check if the person had a scam report on them i just assumed if they were a high reputation they were trustworthy. I really feel like it should be clear on there profile if they have a scam report on them. There could be another section when you click on there profile which says "Scam reports" and it only shows active scam reports on the user and not the ones where they have been closed. I really feel like it will reduce the chances of new people in particular getting scammed as i see more and more new people posting scam reports.

In my opinion these are 2 must have ideas I know i might get some hate for the prioritising certain scam reports idea however this can always be developed and in my opinion it COULD reduce the chance of someone exit scamming for a higher amount. This may not stop exit scamming in general but it will decrease the amount exit scammed. Thanks for reading

1st idea can be solved with more scam resolvers to reduce all scam report times. But as far as the 2nd idea if you just check their profile they say respond to the scam report, which is a dead giveaway if they just put a little bit of research into it.

These can be deleted from the users profile it is. For example if kram posted on my profile i had a scam report i could just delete it. New members dont do there research i know i didnt when i was new therefore i think these changes are essential

I don't agree with prioritising high rep but I agree with the idea of having a warning that they have an open scam report against them, although it would be annoying to have a scam report open for a few months.

It's true. Scam reps are open for like a month, a reputable exit scammer can scam a lot of money within 1 month. Whereas a smaller and new seller would barely scam anything.

I see where your coming from the high rep part can be modified however it would not mean that the scam report moderators do not do regular scam reports either it would just mean the high rep one gets answered quicker so if they choose to exit scam the damage will be less

Let me just join MCM on an alt account, scam out $2k and begone with <= 0 rep.

No, prioritisation of scam reports based on reputation will not help anyone, anything, at all, similar to prioritising on amount scammed. There have been medium-high rep members who exit scammed on virtually nothing, and low rep people who've exit scammed more than people could possibly guess. My point is, the trend isn't distinct enough to base prioritisation of scam reports on.

An alert for an open report I'm 50/50 (leaning on yes), but not prioritisation.[DOUBLEPOST=1563702522][/DOUBLEPOST]

Yes, but negative reputation does do a lot. As do profile posts and open warnings to others.

You say that however someone is more than likely to go first on lets say a 194 rep eg prank than a 0 rep.[DOUBLEPOST=1563706289][/DOUBLEPOST]
I completely agree, it was clear from his tone that he wasn't planning to payback, staff could've handled it better and at least SR Restricted him.
I was quite obvious that he was gonna exit tbh, and hes an asshole, never liked him.
completely agree

No user on MC-Market should ever be given top priority based on their reputation, for anything.

If there’s an issue with scam report approval times, and there is, then the solution is to resolve the approval times for all scam reports. This means training and hiring more staff members into the position.

I am entirely against this suggestion.

Something like this maybe?

Don't scam resolvers already do something like that with the restriction of accounts? Apologies, I don't pay all that much attention to how scam reports work.
