Title: How to avoid scammers new system needed! look here
Post by: Rickard.engfors on February 19, 2013, 09:44 pm

Escrow system is good.

But that dosent stop a vendor that scammed all to make a new account.
my point is :

INVITE ONLY TO SR.
That means if i as vendor/buyer start scamm alot and get banned.
Some one need to invite me again and that person will show on sr site who invited who on a list like this (on my site)

Rickard.engfors invited by scammer01 scammer01 was invited by Hercules hercules was invited by-----and so on

Interesting in theory; in practice that means I would never have been able to join this site. There are many logistical reasons why this wouldn't work, too.

Something that would be more realistic to implement would be a Web of Trust system.

However, I would imagine there being some issues with publishing data like "User X has ordered from User Y and trusts him Z much". Also, the Web of Trust is easily abused if used as a scoring system.

Invite only would, I believe, go against what DPR believes in.
