This has been caused by miscommunication by several high ranking staff members involved. We as the CM team take full responsibility and apologize to any user that was scammed in this process. We will personally ensure that every user will be refunded by the person that scammed them.
There was server-wide miscommunication. LuciouS does not owe an apology himself, as he did what was deemed
not scamming at the time.
The issue has been solved, and it won't repeat itself. Appropriate actions are going to be taken so another similar incident is not going to be happen as well. Thank you for your patience.
I couldn't disagree more. Just because something was (incorrectly) said to be allowed at the time does not make it right, and I believe everyone that has done this should apologise appropriately (either through a post like LuciouS or private contact like Sorle).
I appreciate the apology. There's no particular reason to keep on hammering on about this, though it does concern me what you and others would have done had it been said that this was allowed officially.
I still disagree with the scamming rule, as I believe it's part of the game, and people should be more cautious before agreeing to shit. I think a better move would be to create an official coinflip system but remove the scamming rule, so a large part of the server can be maintained without a rule for it.
Obviously it's morally reprehensible, and using a Pastebin/external link at all is classed as deceptive/trickery, however I'd still argue that the main part which became scamming was trying to hide the terms. Scamming is part of RP gamemodes and should be treated as RP imo.
