    Just sayin'

Is there a scammer watch list? · · 11 likes

Can we have a list of ongoing scammers if there isn't one?

Aklas 2547558 scammed me, rookie mistake by me, should of checked him out first so I deserved it (10 strippograms rip) haha, wouldnt be surprised if hes a multi.

He used the classic copy and paste money text.

Worse thing is I read the previous thread about him a few days ago and didnt clock

Wouldn't want this to happen to younger players who do not have much cash though

Edit

Also note in his picture he is a white male with a towel wrapped around his head with a knife in his hand.

I wonder what this implies

Thankyou. And I am not saying this person is racist, but the word is pretty frowned upon, just like the n word.

And I just think the filter could be extended to catch words that are seen as particulary offensive and have stop them being used as names in the first place.

The fact this thread turned into a shitshow, just pretty much sums up to me the state of the game when considering modern equality, diversity and discrimination.

But again, thankyou for responding like a decent human being, even if my initial post could maybe of been approached differently, I think the end result still would of been the same.

Because its a circle jerk

Maybe I over reacted by finding it offensive, but if I did, I certainly was not the only one.

The balance means those with similar views to mine are silenced through virtual lynching, as you can see by the balance of this post.

And I just feel that if we cannot explore this topic without it becoming like this, what does that say about the current climate of the community?

Any person who is not in the community and saw some of the shit said in this post would honestly be shocked.

The fact there is such a silence is what is most telling to me.

And the fact its got to 16 f**king pages deep

Its certainly one step closer towards doxxing than not, and could definitely be seen as encouraging it to go further than it should, as ultimately its a bit creepy.



The fact you guys don't see the long term implications of not being vigilant and pro active and why torn must have a better range to the filter does not surprise me at all.

The world is changing, the whole internet culture is changing, if you don't see this, well then you are blind.

I'm not the first to point something out and I sure as hell won't be the last, but your ignorance and circle jerk is just beyond repairable by the looks of things

Things are moving fast and eventually its gonna catch up with you, unless you live out in the middle of no where

"Hi, just wanted to say that I agree with your thread about racist names. The Torn community's reaction to it proves that this place is toxic as f**k, and that staff are completely biased when it comes to enforcing actual game rules. A new player in NPC was banned recently for having the name "ch**ngch**g", but apparently if you play Torn for 15 years, it's okay if your name is a racial slur."

The comparison is not relevant at all.

It is not by definition, an offensive term, as stated in

Thankyou!

Full respect for anyone who can understand why this is a subject that needs awareness raised on, not swept under the rug.

I'm POC and to me its an offensive discriminating term.

Doesn't make my opinion or your opinion invalid, its an opinion


Except mine is backed up by verifiable professional organisations who have defined the term as what it often is used for

I am not the only one with this opinion.

Doesn't mean its right or wrong

Its an opinion, and I am entitled to share it

Keep trying to justify it lmao, like I said, fact is if any public figure put this as their profile name, they would be cancelled

Deny it all you want, its facts

I used his name to social media as an example of whether he would be proud to share his view publicly

I love how you twist my words to make it seem worse than it is

They see me rollin, they hatin'
