I wonder just how many people are willing to do business with a banned trader? Really, how hard is it to see that red ipod and the dancing Ban?

So, what do the different banned ipods mean? Sometimes I'll see a whole row of "banned ipods" but no "Ban Deodorant" dancing. At other times, I'll see a single "banned ipod" and a dancing deodorant bar. What's the dif?

Just don't trade with anyone that has anything to do with a banned symbol...it's that easy

My sentiments exactly. Are people so desperate for a green that they don't bother to look at credentials??

Glad it's locked.. wink

Oh yeah, no doubt! But why would there be two different types of "ban" notices?

Some people it just might be a warning not to trade with a person because there is a conflict in the scammers section...the ban dancing guy usually happens when a perm ban happens

OHHHhhh, thanks! karma for you.

Usually, sites take about 2-3 days for a person to go red, at least from my experience, that's why all newbies have to wait this period to get paid from me. How do you deter scammers?

Pay on approval only.

I don't think thats the way to go exactly. Just don't accept complete 100% newbies. Look at post count, karma, TR, scammers section, see if their posts are actually good posts or BS, etc.

I did a green for someone who later got the "Do not trust me" "Do not trade with me" tags. That didn't show up until after I'd done the green but I still got paid. Would have been nice not to even risk it. Lucky this time I guess.

The problem is, though, that new people don't know what to do when they first start, so they don't necessarily know that having flashing iPods means you are bad ...

"Oh that person has a dancing BAN avatar ... they must really like that brand." ... hey, it happens. shrug

Maybe a lot of those posts were made before the original poster was banned.
