"Borrowing" Items

[Venom_Fish]

You people are all over the place. Lets rack this up into a clear, concise argument.

Status Quo: Scamming is Illegal.
No one seems to be arguing an affirmative meaning to legalize scamming (except one guy who really didn't have much to say other than that).

So the argument is to what extent that the PRs should enforce the illegal scamming.
(Thats where we're at) Now stay the heck on topic.

My opinion, if scamming is in fact illegal, GPs should enforce that to the utmost extent. If a player says he scams another, that is a confession or something that should be looked into. Just like if you said you killed someone who is deceased, you're a suspect.

Seeing as the GPs are the Judge, Jury, and Executioners... they should act rationally and using LOGIC (dying concept).

On to lending, scamming is ILLEGAL... meaning if a player is borrowing an item and the borrower tries to run with it, that is a S C A M.

Demanding a substantial amount of proof is not DOABLE because players have little to no resources to amount to that standard of proof. PMs are private, so they can be altered... players hardly talking in-between trades, most often you have to log a specific person's chat (don't know if that changed). How can they prove it was a lend if most of that is not submittable? You can't say don't lend, or its stupidity or anything of that nature. Some people have kind hearts, and some are vile and take advantage of those kind-hearted. The Law is supposed to protect the good, and punish the bad. (Idea of law on a kindergarten-level). Therefore you're going to have to find a way to allow lend trades, without all this hassle.

A System like Vin suggested, is appropriate. (Not bothering responding to the other random inputs). Although player logging off or not should be an option, meaning say check if player logs on/off during time. So the item doesn't keep returning if they r.c or something. The time-limit is enough.
