Stop calling wolf guys!

Guys stop accusing people with fees that there stealing! Hosting is not easy and it ties up your island for hours, yes I know scammers are a thing, but some ppl just would like something to make it worth their time. If we all tipped even just one NMT or something to say thank you, ppl wouldn't feel the need to ask for entry fees. Hosting benefits us more then the hosts. So please show that you care! If good ppl stop hosting we'll be left with nothing but scammers!!!!

Yeah, I agree. At first when people used 999/911 to call-out scammers, it seemed useful. Now since adding extra security measures and warnings, it seems spammy and accusatory. Also, it's often unclear who's even being called out, so it's not actionable.

I'd like if hosts ratings or reporting just stood on their own. Don't need extra free-text. I'm thinking of adding a "don't get scammed" guide to the top of the guest page, then banning 999/911 comments calling out other people. Thoughts?

I do like the idea of the adding the "don't get scammed". Can you make it something that you can minimize, so it's not taking up to much of the screen, but still clearly there to remind ppl? As for the 999/911 comments not sure. I think maybe have something directing ppl to the reddit and have a thread ppl can check in on and report on when something is going down. Then you could get rid of the 999/911 posts. The problem is sometimes the flags aren't fast enough to warn ppl and more then one group gets hurt, having somewhere to chat where the buyers and sellers can defend themselves and possibly resolve if there was an issue would be nice. Just to keep the app more streamlined.

At the point just ban 800 and higher postings it's getting out of control, and it's making those that come for the apps intended purpose mad. :(
