Well scamming is illegal but it's only illegal if a GP has enough proof that you did get scammed

Scamming is illegal because people were using it to trick players, especially new ones, into losing their hard work. It's not fair to those players, and scammers deserve to get punished for that.

That's the typical bull****. Scamming is always illegal. But you can only be punished if there is enough proof, be it from a GP or not.

Yup, and just for those thinking "HeHe, i just will make sure a GP isn't around!" I got news for you! Most of the scammers i have jailed/had trades reversed, have been trades where i was never there. Their are so many different logs and things a GP can do, that its near impossible to avoid being caught. And just because you get away with it and a day goes by, tht does not mean your safe at all, just so you know! In addition, if I catch you scamming, I ALWAYS jail, and depending on the frequency of you scamming, you will be banned. And NO you do not keep the items you scam, so you don't win
