Yeah but then what if a head admins steals items from a player who owns an inventory with alot of items and cash, they simply wouldn't notice?

Edit: Basically, head admins may abuse before they leave the server and maybe take vengeance against people.

This would be extremely dangerous.

Not 100% on this so Chute/DEAD feel free to correct me on this but: moving items from inventories requires access to the database. Everytime someone has been wiped Chute has to get involved to wipe the entry from the right table(s).

In the wrong hands, this could be extremely dangerous and definitely should not be opened up to Community Managers let alone Head Admins.

How about you record yourself giving an item to a trustable staff member along with the other participant in the coinflip doing the same, and have the staff member act as a middle man?
Surely this idea will lower the amount of scamming that occurs no?

Micky wrote: There are just times that admins don't have time to middleman. This suggestion was just made to make sure scam victims get their items if the scammer has it. I understand there are flaws in it but people could probably figure a way to make this work without any risks.

Kylie wrote: Nah, a guy CFed me hyper vs hyper and he lost but didn't pay up. He had the item but chose to be perm banned and he still hasn't made an appeal. It's been months as well

Markus Chellwigg wrote: What if he doesn't want to rejoin? Then he just successfully scammed someone. The victim didn't get their winnings. There should be a system where if the scammer has the item but doesn't want to pay up the victim still gets their winnings. And of course, the scammer would still be punished for attempting to scam.

The one thing im confused on here is people normally scam because "they don't have the items". They scam as a last possible thing to make money. I.e "i cf'ed all my inventory" people know im rich and i go in for 50b cf. I have nothing left why would they take anything. Sorry if I cf'ed for a gjug and they guy scammed, if the admin/Ha offers me "10 nanos" as compensation i'd say fuck no lol

Please... no.
