I can permanently rid 2+2 of scammers for a one-time charge of $3k. PM me for details.

mike and bobobobo - reasonable points.
I guess I just feel bad for the scammees.
"I gave some guy I never heard of $2k and he didn't give it back to me. How did this happen? He seemed honest enough."

So is that all it takes to be a mod around here?

1) Be respectful to posters
2) Do something useful that makes 2+2 a better place
3) Don't cause any trouble
4) Have naked pictures of a red
5) Be a manservant of a red?
6) Pester reds until you are made.

imo 5 might be over the top.

Unless you are trading on some hidden site, which nobody has money on transferring with people who have 50 posts is just retarded.

I got scammed, and it was 100% my fault for being in a rush and being stupid about the situation, if you are trading a sum of money that matters to you, theres pretty much a zero % chance that you will get scammed if you follow proper procedures... so just use your brain and you will be ok.

Mike has done a GREAT JOB with the transfer thread and following his guidelines should reduce your odds of being ripped off by more than 90%. This allows a sort of rating system to steer you toward a fair transfer and away from scammers.

Without Mike's work we would have a nightmare. Many posters would be scammed out of many more thousands of dollars and modding would be much tougher for mods and admins. Posters would be complaining about getting transfer requests from people they have never met in real life and mods/admins would need to dole out warnings and punishments. I know I greatly appreciate all of Mike's hard work with that thread!

Thank you,
