    Default Charmz

    Today, the burden fell upon me to announce that our fellow developer/black market mod has been banned permanently from SRL.
    In a series of unfortunate events, he took 1750m from a user and the payment could not be cleared. He has no intention of paying the $700 back, therefore he had to be banned. We are not aware of any malicious intent, but we are of the malicious outcome.

    1750m = $700 ?
    WOW! That's a lot! If he would care for SRL and the guy he took off, he would return the money. Seems that we start knowing people after a while...

    I actually feel sorry for Charmz. And the person who scammed him.

    Exploiting other people trust is pathetic.

    Charmz is the one who got scammed and decided to put the damage on to me. So technically I got scammed.

    Its not that he is a scammer its because he cannot pay it off. Its really paypals fault.

    You aren't black market staff, neither are the mods. This is solely my decision.

    As far as I understood, he didn't want to pay it off. SRL is not worth 700$ for him. Something along the lines of that. In a way I suppose I understand it, but this'll only happen if you get into the black market in general. It's called black for reason.

    Why doesn't he just pay it off slowly? Either by returning GP or selling GP through botting. This seems like another Naike situation (not completely).

    People who 'rob' things, never return them. Only when they're caught on the street/home, they are forced to return them and they are also punished. That's a fact!

    Wow, that sucks. I know how it feels to get scammed, but whoever does it deserves to be banned. Period.

    It's not real money, but what was lost equates to/is worth money.

    That's like saying "Someone got their phone stolen? At least they didn't lose any real money" or having someone mow your lawn and then not pay them.

    More details would be nice. I really don't get the whole story (not that it matters, I just like a riveting tale).

    I understand your point completely, but a stolen phone is on no way comparable to stolen rsgp, as the phone had been bought with money in the first place. If I had to choose between:
    a) Losing a side product of an activity that I consider as a hobby of mine and enjoy doing. This product is worth nothing outside the hobby.
    or
    b) Losing the money that I gained while working 10h days for 2 weeks.

    I would choose A, every time. This doesn't mean that I don't think this situation sucks, and that I feel bad for the guy, simply stating I'm glad he didn't lose $700 from his bank account.

    The simple fact is that he didn't lose $700, he lost the time it took him to gather 1.7b rsgp. And there's a difference.

    Time=Money.
    It doesn't matter how you got the items/money real or virtual. You can work for it, auto it, get it as a gift/prize. In the end the GP he lost has monitory value (maybe not to you) but what he lost was worth $700 and it's gone now D:
