Which is worse, Trolls or Scam artists?

[guyjin]

Which is worse? Obnoxious trolls like ninny and kits, or scam artists like vegas and atreyu?
We can all agree they're scum, I'm sure, but which is worse?

[Sinistron]

Scammers and profiteers.  Ninny trolls are at least good for a quick laugh.

Indeed.  Trolls are also easier to spot and don't leave a bad taste in your mouth after dealing with 'em.

[Joe Redifer]

Trolls also don't steal people's money, only time.

[guyjin]

Well, technically, time IS money... 

[Sparky]

yep... that listing is wrong... Roy-ally!!

Have you ever tried to pay a bill with time?  It doesn't work.

Seriously.   Can you show me where I scammed anyone?  You live in a fairy tale world.

However; What you did is a bit different, Roy.

You engaged a community of people who you knew were willing to help you source the effective "Holy Grail" of their American collections. You befriended people and attempted to gain their trust, and stated quite plainly "I get what I want." You posted about the ridiculousness of the high prices on eBay, and even started a thread or two that Necromancer pointed out. You THEN listed the item at an insanely high price with little or no mention to the community that helped you source the Grail. The end result making a few jealous and a few more angry. It wasn't wrong, per se, it was just hypocritical. Some people are responding to the ethics in question. IMHO. 

In other words, you pretended to be our friend, and then took advantage of our generosity.

Yes, I took someones advice to check digitpress and found a seller that sold me two of them and tried to resell one.  He even stated it wasn't wrong.  Interesting that you quote it.

[Arkhan Asylum]

you declined my 20$ offer.

Exactly. you were all "ooh, can you help me find this game? I'll kick my loosey back to you guys! honest!" and then you didn't.

Sini tells me that you told him that you're BIN price is what you paid for both games total - in essence, a free magical chase. I hope your reputation was worth it.

This topic is blatant trolling. Anyone who says otherwise is a troll themselves.

What's your point ninny?  Such behavior is allowed (perhaps encouraged) in this part of the forum.

What are you doing back here anyway?  Another attempt at destroying us, perhaps.  If you weren't such a miserable little douchebag, you'd get a life, move out of mommy's basement, and quit coming back here.

Awww, you grouped me with a scammer.

[VestCunt]

OK, I voted for The Worst.  How about nominations for the Best of the Worst so we can make another poll?

I nominate Cephalgy: a would-be-scammer with abysmal spelling; text formatting that defies all logic; hilarious, non-nonsensical insults; and whose attempts to rip people off are too absurd to be taken seriously.  Finally, just when he starts to wear thin, he disappears for 6-12 months!  What better low-life could we ask for? 

Any other memorable goons around here?  Who was that kid with the "Don't Eat the Bonk" story that turned out to be a scumbag?

[nat]

Haha, how the memories come flooding back.
 
I'm with vestcoast, and if I'm not mistaken, it's just about time of year for the annual drive-by spamming, courtesy of everyone's favorite. The laughs will be ceaseless!

The real problem in this world is racism and sexism. Just saying...

[Shrapnoid]

I chose Trolls because they have changed with the times and become more annoying but, they've lost of sight of what trolling used to be. Real trolls used to be clever and could blend in whilst causing trouble in a subtle way that would ultimately lead to disaster but, this new generation of trolls don't try to hide at all. They just run around, acting like idiots, making multiple accounts to set up fake arguments with themselves to frustrate and confuse people and as soon as someone gets wise to it and points it out, they -using one of their many accounts of course- come in and try to play peace maker and tell you that "it's not possible for things like that to happen because of blah blah blah..." then, they -pretending to be interested in something that you're interested in, send you an e-mail under yet another name but, it's trap with some kind of spyware or malware or both and you end up having to re-install your OS and change your e-mail address and what ever other names you have at other places where you're a member.

     

[Alt-Nintega]

funny how each and ever member of S.I.C is a freaking ugly troll. Professional trolls like Mortiis.
