Ya and when that has been done everyone cries to let them back to they can be repaid, we are damned if we do and damned if we don't.
Also most members on other forums avoid dealing with known shady members, I guess we are in a class of our own.

everyone DOES NOT cry
and yes, members on other forums have much less opportunity to get scammed, as banning scammers, and calling scammers out is a high priority on other forums
This is the ONLY Poker forum that works hard to eliminate all scamming, when people GO OUTSIDE OF THE SYSTEM THAT IS DESIGNED TO PROTECT THEM THEY ARE ON THEIR OWN.
I have done numerous upgrades, spent time and money doing whatever I can to weed out scammers.
Now, with that said, I do take action against scammers, you can't always see it, but it happens. My #1 priority is to make the person that GOT scammed whole and repaid. I sometimes talk to the person who did the scamming, I tell them to repay their debts, and they can come back.
What's better Poke? Tell me? Ban the scammer forever, or try and recover the funds to the person that got scammed?
Just ban them you say? Proxy servers are very very hard to stop. I typically like to know where the scammers are instead of banning them and trying to find them later so I can keep an eye on them.
So bottom line, enough with the scammer, mods aren't doing their job crap
i made a thread this morning, how to put an end to scamming.
it would work.
and since your concern is getting people paid back... how bout not letting people trade unless its to pay back?
I can personally attest to this, PO admin does an excellent job of recovering any funds that are owed. I know this by personal experience.
i also metioned the LOL "system" in my thread as well
you could restrict there market place access, it is possible, im sure whoever got scammed would like payment in one form or another and with points you or poof can easily take the points out of one account and place them in another, allowing them back to pay there debts is one thing, allowing them full access so they can scam again is quite another
Put the truth commission on it.. He got plenty of time.
but when we do find out, that indeed someone is scammed, after it is PROVEN, then what?
so far, the answer has been let them still have 100% access
and in some cases scam again

Seems to me there's a few options.
1) Middle Man upgrade (Middle man gets a % of the action)
2) Some way to send paypal to the site here (That cant be charged back, paypal gift card or something)
3) Some other currency, start trading paypal for bitcoins and then trading bitcoins.. I would suggest we stop using paypal altogether and start using bitcoins. I have NEVER sold bitcoins, and it took me about 10 minutes to sell the ones I had last night.
Background check upgrade that I added should aid in this

Posting in the forum you got scammed
My goal is to get the person back their funds.
So I ask you, what do you want to see when someone gets scammed.. First, again, YOU HAVE TO PROVE they got scammed.
there are some people i wouldn't deal with on the site.
but what i have seen a lot of lately, is scammers scamming scammers.
So yes, you DO have educated traders such as me, who would not trade with certain folks, then you have uneducated folks who get scammed, and you now also have scammers scamming scammers, because in general people won't deal with them.
seems to me only retards get scammed lol
just to bring up a point, has chipmonster paid yet, notice hes making a string of llbs wondering why he cant use those points to pay what he owes lol
