Aren't you all fed up with sights like this becoming more and more common? So am I. Therefore, this is a warning. Do not open or leave open more than two trading threads at once, especially for the same thing. Do not "invisibly" bump your thread every two minutes. I have begun suspending and I am not giving you just a light slap on the wrist for this amount of spam. Now, I'm more of an SG mod, I'm not good with STrades, so, please, feel free to point me towards anyone who needs it, preferably with evidence. Might as well use this thread for it. This is going to stop.

Update: This problem should never have been allowed to get to this point (and I likely would have been okay with it if the bumps were at least staggered rather than bumping six threads at once), so I'm probably going to seem overly harsh to some of you, cracking down on everything severely. Now that this is stickied, I'll give everyone a grace period of twenty-four hours (until 7:30 PM UTC, 7th) to reorganise their threads and close down any duplicates. After that, I will begin to suspend without warning.

Edit: Time's up. Suspensions begin now.

Update 2: After a talk with Yatterman, two trading threads is now acceptable, as long as they are not identical.

Update 3: Just found a nifty bug(?) on the site that'll let me close the offending threads without officially having any powers on Strades. Feel free to link the threads in future and I'll close them too.

Update 4: As some may already know, my activity will drop massively as of right now. I'll still be dealing with SteamTrades stuff whenever I can, but expect me to be a little slow on it.

http://www.steamtrades.com/trade/zQB7C/hcrysis-3-hunter-ed-origin-key-w-cod-black-ops-2-tradeable

Langelab is a scammer. I traded with him a black ops 2 key in return for Crysis 3 Hunter Ed + bioshock 1. He insisted that I go first which I did but then claimed his internet was slow and that it would take a few minutes to reply back and to not worry if he disconnected. He immediately went off-line and put his account on private. This is not his primary account I assume and that he just stole the key to sell to someone else. Most of his game list consist of indie titles and low priced games but he will try trade triple AAA titles. Unfortunately, I did not take a screenshot, so I can't report to Steamrep, b/c I immediately tried switching to my alt to try and redeem the code first and make it worthless to him, but forgot to take a record first. And I cannot access our last chat as he won't accept my friend request and keeps his profile private most of the time.

I'm just hoping that a pattern will start emerging soon and you guys can nail him.

You must be the fk kidding me!

You forced me to close my thread due to your spam, to put my profile in private so you wouldn't stop with the spam there, and come here to accuse me of being an scammer!?

I don't own only "Indie" games... as the matter of a fact, only the 20% of my games are indies, you lame-O!

Come with real proof... the reason why you can't post the conversation, is that you don't have 'cause that's not how it happened. I said no to your terrible offer and you got mad! God only knows who you sold your key, and you put the blame on me!? You're CRAZY!

I'm not forcing anyone to go first... if they say no.. is NO! I ask them to go first, 'cause I'm new here and don't know people, the few guys I've REALLY traded have been nice to me, and that's awesome... but that doesn't mean everyone's like that!

I need you stop this, NOW!

I don't need to stop with anything. I'm perfectly with in my rights to post in your threads stating that no one should be asked to go first with someone who has much lower rep than they do and for items that they cannot recover once they are given (such as keys VS paypal or tradeables). If they were to look at your previous threads they would see that the only way you were able to get your last few reps were by selling keys for a $1-3 and INSISTING THAT YOU WERE WILLING TO GO FIRST unlike now of course when you try to claim you have triple AAA titles.

What's wrong with you...!?

I traded all those "small games" for better ones.. and in this post, I explain how I got the keys with my new video card. You're so bad at telling lies!
And you cannot just come and tell me what I am supposed to ask for or do on my threads... or trades! Who do you think you are? That is called SPAM!
The rule of "the one with lowest rep go first" is a community rule...! So it is legal to ask poeple to go first.. again.. I've never forced anyone to trade with me.. and you've the only one who I can honestly say that has been rude and way to childish...! even when your "rep" says that you're kind and stuff... you've been stalking me ever since that day. If I could go back in time I would have never even added you!

I was forced to go first because of YOU, and the spammy-stupid-missused-rep you gave me! and to my luck all those trades went just fine!

Seriously you just have to stop this, I'm not gonna give you my games just because you come here making up stories.. what are you doing?!

I don't know who you're trying to convince since like I said I'm just putting down this for record for the admins to check. If you try to scam someone again they'll have this as another strike against you.

Also the fact that I didn't close a thread that I started before I traded with you and didn't receive any responses until now is not proof that I still have the key. The fact that you closed a thread and never made another one though is a bit more interesting.

I'll let the admins rule on this one when they have to.

We talked on sunday... 8 days ago...! the post I linked is 6 days old!

If I closed that one, was because of your reaction and decided to better stop risking myself and just have the game for me!

I'm not sure why you are bragging about your recent trades/posts. A couple of very small game trades and some lowballing/reselling Resident Evil 5 here and on tf2outpost.

While I have no idea whether or not you are a scammer, you hijacked one of my threads and demanded that the other person go first. It was a shady enough move that I felt obliged to add the other person in the thread to warn them about the possibility of a scam.

I'm impressed/disappointed that so many people were willing to trade with someone who had +1/-1 rep when the -1 is coming from someone with a solid trading history here like bravofleet4.

And what am I supposed to do to prove that I'm inocent?

So the fact that he has more rep give him the right to come bitching on me just 'cause I didn't take his offer? That's just way too low!

I don't ask people to go first, unless is a big trade, thing I don't do so often, as you can see... in small game trades I'm completly willing to go first after talking to the person for a while, to know if he is trustable or not!

You completly ignored the offer on your thread.. what's wrong with me taking a chance to trade for something you don't want to?

1 decade ago
Permalink

It isn't that you took an offer that I ignored. You interjected yourself in the middle of a discussion and made a similar offer with the caveat that the other trader (who had quite a bit of +rep) go first.

I was worried that he would mistake you for me. It happens sometimes.

If you are innocent in the scam affair you can always summon a mod by opening a ticket over at Steamgifts.

There is also a thread just below this one about misuse of -rep. That's the only way I know of to get your -1 cleared. By the way, revenge rep is not okay. Negative rep is only for scammers and I don't see you claiming that bravo scammed you, just the other way around. You probably shouldn't have marked him with a -1.

He deserves the "-rep" as he has been stalking me ever since that day, just like you...

Perhaps you don't understand. Giving -rep because someone is rude is against the rules.

Is aware of what he is doing and is closing threads with complaints just to make fresh threads only to delete them again and then make yet another post for the same thing just to cover up the complaint about the spam. You get the idea.

What is against the rules is your spamming the front page with those terrible trades by abusing invisible comments.

Read this line in bold at the top of the page:

"Do not open or leave open more than two trading threads at once, especially for the same thing. Do not "invisibly" bump your thread every two minutes."

Do you see the "Do not invisibly bump your thread" part? That is you.

I'd like to warn you about one impudent scammer.
This guy http://www.steamtrades.com/user/SamePrice
I sold him Far Cry 3 and he had to transfer money to my PayPal account. I had to give him key first because of my not enough positive reputation on ST. But he swindled me and started to pretend that we are never talked before.
Then he said that it was scammer-impersonator (ok, mysterious guy with identical steam profile) and produced me some "proofs" in this topic http://www.steamtrades.com/trade/c76eH/impersonator-alert-impersonator-of-sameprice
As you can see, link to profile of SamePrice and link to profile of "impersonator" are identical.
And the saddest thing is that he has somewhat good reputation on ST and steamrep. And because of this I expect that he is an honest trader.
And now he try to sell (my) Far Cry 3 here http://www.steamtrades.com/trade/jiNhj/h-far-cry-3-uplay-w-20-steam-wallet-tf2-keys-offers
Also notice that in SteamTrades Site Rules it's said that: Do not attempt to trade Steam or online game ACCOUNTS (EVE, RIFT, etc). Zero tolerance.

Hope you will be just and save ST-community from such sort of swindler. Thanks.
