    Hello. I would like to propose some suggestions of what can be done from now on about the scammers. Not only for those who are already the server for a long time, but for those who want to start not to get caught in these traps.

    Seriously, the amount of scammers here is very boring. In less than 24 hours I was robbed 2 times. 1 of them, Krissy_x helped me when the "stevengavin" would buy a diamond mine and said there was not caught, even I have heard the "pop". After the player "ichinuma" would sell a diamond, he picked up my 20 blocks of grass and left the server (up to the time he did not come back, and I'm 20 grass poorer).

    No one can handle more. The number of players on the server is great. Sometimes people are just wanting to play, and need the grass blocks and diamonds to expand your island / buildings and just showing a guy who ends up with our fun.

    The worst is that there are still many, and we don't have an efficient way to control the situation (not that I know of). I am not surprised by most people of the server is insecure in their trade shop.

    I'm sorry if I was dramatic or whatever it, but it's annoying to deal with this kind of person and I'm sure that, unfortunately, I am not the only one. 2016-03-20_06.16.38.png 2016-03-20_06.16.31.png

    There are some crucial bits of evidence I suggest when screenshotting scams:
    • You and the player agreeing to the trade
    • You with the item in your inventory
    • You dropping the item and it being on the floor
    • And proof the player warped away without paying: ie: your inventory doesnt change after item is dropped.
    Alternatively you can record a video and upload it to youtube which is often better proof than just screenshots.

    I get asked a lot to trade using the inventory.
    Example:
    Girl and boy are trading 180 diamonds for 1 beacon. Mod gives Girl beacon and gives Boy 180 diamonds.

    It works out well as the players cannot scam.

    I like this idea, and I do trust the mods.

    Sounds great, I'd love for mods to help in big trades in the future, and the mods are all rather trustworthy.

    Yeah, either recording / screenshotting or for any quantities below 64 Setting up a tradeshop are the only ways to go.
