Implement an update that allows gangs to give and retrieve money like the item vault and I'm sure that will eliminate the majority of scams

I beg to differ, my zombie axe was proof that admins do not always retrieve items.

Wasn't that retired with jayson's character, after he tried to retrieve it with what he claimed was his mom's character?

they were doing you a favor, mac. that weapon really wasn't all that good.
i don't know the circumstances behind it or even who really owned it. i thought that item was scrapped and used to pay back outstanding loans to people? don't exactly know how that would work, but that's what i thought was said. either way, he didn't take the item with the intent of not returning it. sure, you are out a weapon, supposedly, but i don't believe you were scammed.
now sending someone a belt to be charged and never sending it back, i would classify as a scam. as well as, taking a housing loan from someone and spending the loot, i would consider a scam.

what say you...should the admin take a more back-seat role in situations involving money/item transfers within the community?
If your stupid enough to loan cut your gut money then you should be fined additional money and then flogged. This is a game of criminals its just naive to think you can loan most of you people monies.

while this is a game in which people commit 'crimes', it is a game first and foremost, therefore, it has rules. it just so happens that one of them is that scamming someone is not allowed. i didn't make the rule, and i'd be a lot richer (with many more enemies) if scamming was not against the rules. hence the question posed in this thread. has nothing to do with any specific instance, though i think that if a rule is in place that it should either be enforced or removed.
This is a game of criminals, but scamming other players by using game mechanics to your advantage is not tolerated.
