Scammed?

You lost money? Cool. What can you do about it? Deal with it. This isn't a park. Let us know who scammed you and we'll avoid them but stop whining all the time, people. If it's a market, we already know from the first hundred people posting about it so we don't need your whining too. You should know that shit happens sometimes. Just stop obsessing about it. You guys need to learn how to deal with it. That means accept it and move on. Because you can't do shit about it. It's not a big deal.

There should be a template, like the one for reviews, but for scams.

I think you're right, if people are scammed by vendors they need to post who scammed them and when.

When markets go down though it's a lot of people's first experience of that, and they need to vent. I like when the mods do a megathread for it, it keeps it all together. I'm guessing they haven't this time because we don't know anything for definite yet.

It would be a better idea for people to use direct deals more than markets imo. I say go to other smaller markets or direct deal with trusted vendors. Markets make people 'feel' safe, but they're more dangerous because of this fact.

Direct deals with a vendor could work like this: Established trusted vendors will have mostly good reviews here and on forums. You can weed out reviews from scamming customers like this. And you can post scammers here and on forums and they lose business. Same for positive reviews. This helps keep them honest. More customer service based but less market involvement. Vendors will have to advertise by word of mouth mostly so good vendors will have to make sure to have great service and product. Harder for new vendors to get into the scene (which discourages exit scamming and then starting over since starting over will be so hard) but once you are known and trusted, you'll get good business.
