    I know there is a rule that scamming is allowed, but think about it. If there is staff that scams you would you trust said staff? Put yourself in the place of a new player and gets scammed by some staff member, I would give a bad impression to said new player, just in the same way being afk is not allowed I think that scamming should also be prohibited for staff because it erodes the trust in the staff team.

    Good idea. I feel as though players need people to trust and staff can be just that.

    Why should the staff have less ways to play the game than anyone else?

    Would players be allowed to scam staff? Where do you draw the line..........

    Dead against disallowing this as it's unfair, but do see the point you are trying to make.

    @Phil yhea I see your point too, but lets say mods which have the ability to ban, if a new player gets scammed by on they would be less likely to trust the mod that scammed them. Either way this is just a poll to see what the community thinks, I'm not pushing for anything to change but just to see what everyone thinks.

    Losing trust doesn't change much. They still get punished if they do something wrong, and if they don't do something wrong they will not be punished.

    If you think you're going to be scammed then don't trade.

    All he did was say he was selling a rank key, and put a rare key in auc and you bought it. I don't really see a problem with that. Also voted for the wrong one lol

    Staff ---> player relationship is very important.
    We should be able to trust you guys, and ask you for help.

    I just think that you just shouldn't do it - but shouldn't put it in a staff guide that you can't or anything

    Staff are allowed to play, so therefore should be able to scam. It says very clearly on the server that scamming is allowed, so therefore a new player shouldn't be ignorant to it - No real rules should be changed for helpers as such

    That's basically my stance.

    People can if they wish, but they make their own hell for themselves if they do and will have to deal with it.....

    Fast if this is about my scam to you (which would not be a weird guess). That doesnt have anything to do with this.


    But, scamming a new player... they bairly has stuff that we need, to become staff you need to play for a decent time to have and by then you should have enough stuff to not have to scam new players.

    I think we should just play like others if we do someting in our staff role players should trust us anyway.

    Scamming can be a big part of factions and if we cant scam others but they can scam us that would be unfair. Making staff members not allouwed to scam and people scamminy staff aswell wont work either so i think we should just keep it as it is.

    @_WaterBlood_ No, it's just a question I had and I only wanted to see what the community thinks about it. That's all.

    I completely agree with the fact staff shouldn't scam. Once you have agreed to change your behavior in to being perfect and completely trusted by members and higher staff, you really should stick to that. However, I also agree with people saying they should be able to. Honestly, they will do the right thing if it is need by higher staff or by anyone on the server. This one is kinda in the middle, but if I had to pick I would chose shouldn't.

    I think it should be one of those rules that it's not really pushed.

    Like staff members CAN scam, but it's one of those things that are like frowned upon or it's a SHOULD NOT but it's not a CAN NOT.

    Gotta agree star, staff need to keep themselves trustable by others so I would recommend them not to but if they want hell and people bashing them as a staff member then so be it. As you said its a "should not" not a "can not".
