Do you think anyone would gamble at a casino if there was no statement as to what the prize was?
Just thinking of ideas..... | ||

A scam is a scam. It doesn't really matter what the scam was or how it was pulled off. Standard procedure is to ban the scammer, then review the items that were taken and see if they're still present/what happened to them. Sometimes we can recover items and give them back - other times we can't.
What if, for example, Arrowed doesn't have a Fungi Tunic? I'm not going to create one just because someone lost a dice roll! Casino at your own risk, just like everything else on Project 1999 - it's not our responsibility to babysit your trades! We have lots of other things to do without adding something easily avoidable to the petition queue. Trust no one! Never share account info! Don't hand money/items over for nothing! These are really simple, easy to follow tenants that will save both the CSR staff and the players a ton of trouble. While scamming will always be against the Fraud section of our server rules, I'm going to repeat myself for the 500th time: There is no guarantee you will get your items back. If you get scammed, just assume your items are gone forever, that way you'll be pleasantly surprised if they get reimbursed. Lastly, I'd love to see casino's banned for a number of reasons, some of which I'm not going to share. Obviously the scamming is a big issue, as is the spam, but really that's just a small part of why these need to be removed. At our next GM meeting it's on our "talking points" list. Some of you might be surprised to find out this is actually a big priority for me and something I've been casually pushing for months now. It wasn't until recently when it started getting really bad that it became clear we'd need to sit down and have a discussion about it. tl;dr: be more careful/use common sense, casino ban hopefully incoming. | ||

1 guy got scammed so you want to see all casinos banned?
"Lastly, I'd love to see casino's banned for a number of reasons, some of which I'm not going to share. " Firstly I've been casino'ing on P99 longer than you've even been around, with 0 complaints and hundreds of happy gamblers. I sell cheap items that people wager and lose, and Trade Federation + myself have given away tens of thousands of plat in rolloff giveaways + provided trustworthy escrow/transfer services. Secondly should I judge all GMs based on Amelinda's behavior? -Reince | ||

We may also switch to some form of accreditation for casino operators. This would resolve my concerns, although I'm sure it would bring out the theorists en masse, but we'll see what happens. There are options beyond "just ban all casinos" but that is certainly the simplest solution. | |||

The only two reasons you listed were spam and scamming.
Scamming appears to be extraordinarily rare and...spam in EC tunnel? I don't use shout and i broadcast my odds no more often than anyone else spams their non-classic item links. Help me understand. Is EC spam really a big priority for you? Quote:
