People are now abusing the verified TC sellers function by impersonating them on discord and scamming the USD without even needing a toribash account, so there's no way to punish them.

Do laws against murder prevent murder?

You're saying a rule that doesnt fully prevent what it's trying to prevent should be abolished. Well I'm not saying any rule is perfect but I am saying that without checks and balances, there would be alot more scamming.

also I don't have to prove anything to you and you still havent told me how my activity factors into the validity of my arguements.

Laws against murder also don't punish the law abiding citizens, and don't help the murderers.

I'm not saying the rules should be abolished, but as of right now they need to be changed.

Notice how people who actually play the game are against these rules, now notice how you barely play the game and these rules do not affect you in any way.
It's exactly like the millionaire celebrities living in gated community's who are for illegal immigration.

You keep saying this, but I haven’t read a single explainaition on how exactly this rule helps scammers. Not asking in any sarcastic way, but in your opinion, how exactly do these rules help scammers?

This is why I believe these rules are helping scammers. There's absolutely no punishment for either of these things, and the only ones punished are the people who play the game fairly because they can't even sell TC, buy TC without waiting 3 days for someone to open the sellers thread, or duel for USD without having to worry about getting nothing.

The game has taken a drastic downturn within the last year, and it seems nobody cares.

If you really thought so, you wouldn't have posted this on the forums because surely you know the majority of people in this community do not play the game as much as you guys do.
I think you only want to hear people agree with you and because I am not agreeing with you my opinion is irrelevant.

Do you honestly believe the reason why that person hasnt been banned is because the system allows it? this has to be the dumbest arguement you've brought up yet. It also shows you why the current system is how it is:

The reason you're required to document your sales on the forums BEFORE you do them is because otherwise the staff would have a much harder time deciding who is telling the truth in case a scam does occur. In your example, this guy supposedly scammed people impersonating you or other trusted Sellers. The staff can easily check if he was indeed scammed by checking your threads and seeing that you haven't logged any transactions, while the scammed shows that somebody who looked like he was you scammed him. If you were not required to document your sales, how would the staff decide whose screenshot of a discord chat is altered or real or who's telling the truth? You can alter screenshots, you can fake chatlogs, but you cannot alter forum posts after they are made, the original is always retained.

But okay, you're that convinced that this system is flawed, what alternative do you offer? As it stands according to sir, the current system has reduced the amount of scams, but if you have some other magic system that works better why don't you enlighten us?

If you haven't noticed from previous screenshots, staff were being very disrespectful to Diamond on discord, pouffy mainly, so Diamond asked me to post this craziness here for the rest of the community to see, and i'm not assuming everyone on the forums doesn't play the game.

Sounds a lot like the staff handling this situation, of course I'd like people to agree with me, but you can really say this about anyone who has ever defended any of their ideas, ever, if you really wanted, so this statement is absolutely useless to your argument.

Yes, duel scammers have not been banned because the system allows it. I don't see how that's stupid, in fact this has to be the dumbest thing you've yet to say, and truly shows your disconnect with the game, which was my main point that seemed to really get your pants in a knot.

Yeah because documenting sales really helped those people get their 200 dollars back.
It does jack shit. It's very easy to disprove fake screenshots as well.

The system itself actually isn't a horrible idea on paper, but the way the staff over-moderate it, take forever to reopen a sellers thread, or refuse to acknowledge that something clearly isn't right is the problem.
