THIS WEEK'S DEBATE!
Should scamming be against the TOS and those offending be banned for their actions? Why or why not?


"Scamming has always been and always will be a part of the game. It's what they did in the 1930's, it's what people do today. So why outlaw something that was an actual daily event in the Mafia days. Plus, I'd have to agree with LKP If you're dumb enough to get scammed, it's their own fault."

"Definatley not.. You dont' put yourself in a position to be scammed. Many people come online just to oc..they ready then leave. You have to take the time to make sure that % is being set first. Don't buy equipment and ready before the % you agreed to is set. Same as escrow..Your given lots of opportunity to agree to everything to avoid being scammed. If they rush then it's their own fault. You have to check and make sure before hitting agree."

"Survival of the fittest. i mean, this is supposed to be a mobster game, and mobsters scammed and shit all the time. people are just too soft these days. 'O noes someone stole all my fake monies online, plz ban.' You might as well learn how not to get scammed with imaginary cash than in the real world"
~ Mandinka

"I think the scammers should be VERY closely dupe checked. If it's a scum doing the pts/cash scam, chances are the money eventually goes to their dupe. So one way or another they should be banned."
~ MissBetty

"I would say let people scam. They will get away with it, or they will get shot. People will learn from it once they got scammed (most of the times)."
~ ISplatter

"If people are stupid enough to allow themselves to be scammed, it's their own fault. This is a mafia game, we're not here to babysit the retard."
~ StillDiamorphineLKP

"I dont think so. Is so easy not to get scammed if you pay a little attention. It's part of the game and it should stay like that."
~ MaakMeGek

"I think it should be against TOS, What gives people the right to scam? Especially new players as they are easy to fool."
~ Conquest

"I believe that those who were scammed should have the ability to state their scamming claims in a help desk ticket. If a moderator can look thoroughly through to the layer that did scammed and realized they sent it off to a dupe or an 'off-shore' swiss bank account to later use on another account, I believe they should be banned for try to sabotage the game."
