The tables are logged, so it will tell us who traded with whom and which weapon was traded.
I don't agree with this, eventhough alot of you hate it, it's apart of the game and you should be aware of it..

Aren't pm's like logged?
So the person could pm us not to scam us or something, and we promise not to bear a false witness or something of that sort?

You learned from your mistakes.. So what does it matter now, if you're dumb enough to get scammed twice though, lol x.x
Nothing really to say.. but if you got scammed, join the que.. everyone who plays gk has been scammed, but you have learned from it and have never been scammed again.. well if you have you're just dumb enough to fall for it again

don't let your friends hold any of your items, i wouldn't trust my brother with them let alone some one whom i have never met. if that has occurd, like it has with silent and bosh or ny (one of the two) well it's their fault for trusting him..

But see, that's what they're trying to get outlawed...So there'd be no "it's your fault for trusting them" thing

Im not going to vote yes or no. There are a lot of things that shouldn't be the way they are, like PKers, and the kingdoms, and uh, the classes, and the spellcasting, and the bows, and the economy, and the etc, THINK ABOUT THE ETC, CHILDREN!!

I've never been scammed. I try not to try to get things that are very valuable, i dont see the point in wasting that much time and effort just for one item, and if i do get halfway "good" items like the ID i have, i don't trade them away. If i did tho, i wouldnt be *****ic enough to fall for a scam. But there are some people who don't have the knowledge and experience to avoid being scammed and so, it probably should get stopped. Will it ever get stopped? Not bloody likely.

I agree, you do learn form your mistakes, but that doesn't mean the mistake should not go without punishment, if it was done knowingly by the other person, the Scammer. The items should be returned, the the scammed should be left to lick their wounds.

I can't imagine being scammed by my "friends" I guess I either have superb choice in choosing who I trust, or I'm incredabley lucky, so I think scamming should be illegal, as I thought it was before, but appearantly that's not so :|

PM's are logged on the person's computer. Staff have no 100% way of knowing if they are real or not. And this 'promising' crap doesn't apply when you have 12 year olds running around thinking they are gods on the internet because they are '1337.' They'll just lie to get their way..

I think they are, thats why when people say their secrets, or some glitch they abuse they go like "get on aim, I think you wouldn't want to have this logged" ect.

when they tell you to go on AIM, it might be because they're polite enough to avoid using Graal client on stuff Stefan said not to use it for
for example, you're not allowed to discuss trading items for USD on Graal's client
but you can use AIM for it
