If there's a scamming accusation, everyone can just go look at the logs. If it's having a "list" you're worried about, anybody can make one (such lists exist for Pokemon trading on GameFAQs). I would trust a credible player-made list over a staff-made one.

There's a pokemon online now? :O
Is it just like playing the original red/blue pokemon with other people, but now you can play with the whole world?
This sounds badass.

There should be a confirmation on trade tables.

What? Where something pops up and says "Are you sure?"

It wouldn't hurt to have a "Are you sure you want to trade" on the trade tables.

Precisely. Maybe make it so it says. "Are you sure you want to trade [your items] for [their items] so newbs will know if people are faking an item on a table via hotkeys or fishing rod.

Since when do poeple fall for the fishing rod trick anyway? I mean theres a dude with a rod and a clearly visable line going from his rod to the item WHICH you cannot left click on. You have to pretty damn stupid to fall for that one.

I guess it should make you click the green flag once and wait 3-5 seconds and click it again.

ViperZakuto · #29 01-02-2008, 07:09 AM

that is an awsome idea. you could make it say some text over the flags. Like, are you sure? not too big. Just something small and to the point.

Gothika · #30 01-02-2008, 01:23 PM

Just making people aware of the methods used by scammers over regular PMs should be enough right? Basicly just tell them to always left click the item before they trade.
