Yo boys and girls,

This week about 10 people asked for a loan.
I denied 9, I think 5-6 are banned now.

What I want to say is watch out please.
Only give loans to trusted members with premium or supreme.
You chargeback win percentage is always 50% so loaning to new members is a big risk!​

If they have premium / supreme that doesn't mean they're trusted... It means they're rich, still doesn't mean they won't scam.

first, let's just assume everyone on here is at least 13, as they should be.
Second, there is no official rule that makes people that buy premium or supreme more trusted. If people are foolish enough to go off that alone, it's their problem.

Third, if you think there's a lot of scammers now, you should've seen it in the last few months of 2013.

You know how for a long time we had only one scam resolver? In that period, scam reports hardly ever went beyond 1 page (now they barely even reach that)

Back in winter 2015, we'd have 2 or even 3 full pages of scam reports, despite having at least 2 scam resolvers. Then bebosny took over, and while not all changes are very popular, a lot of the scams have been reduced by restrictions on, for instance, minecraft accounts.

That said, if you're not careful about it, you're still very vulnerable. Loans is a very risky place to get scammed, especially if you're giving them out.
If you don't already have a set method to prevent getting scammed in loans, consider asking for collateral for large loans. It should deter at least some of the scammers.

Salty? you mean sarcastic? That's how I've always been.
Likely because I'm tired of the same old Bs of people thinking ranks or lots of posts/reactions make you reputable. I've been trying to change that for almost a full year now and I still come across too many people that think it.
At least the vouch rating is mostly gone from society's beliefs now.

True, but it just seems as if every thread I go on I see a sarcastic post from you criticising the thread owner.

You must be going on the wrong threads then. I can assure you, among my last thousand posts there's maybe a few dozen that are meant to criticize the thread owners.
