ehhh.

I don't mean to complain or rant or anything...

but what exactly is the point of a scam prevention forum?

What I'm basically trying to say is... There are only so many threads that can be made about preventing scamming. In fact, I'd say scam prevention is 5 threads at the most, and the person would just edit their posts as soon as new ones came out.

MOST (96%) of WoW scams that are / were in existence have come out of MMOwned. Without a "scam section" that 96% will die out and be forgotten, leaving the 4% and a lot less people that go into the area. That also means the number of people running into scams will decrease, so there will be no need to have scam prevention in due time.

The new section will be obsolete pretty soon. All the posts that have been there so far are "reposts" already. They all say the same thing... "Don't give your password out," "Make sure you ask for full info," etc.

I'm not sure if this is the best decision...

PS: I like the marketplace idea. :P

I highly recommend obtaining this program, it can trick most keyloggers by scrambling keys inputted and then descrambling them for only the program you are typing into, the Professional version works for WoW and other games and the Premium version works with pretty much every Windows program (even Windows logon).

Obviously nothing is better than a bit of common sense, but if you think you need a little bit more protection then this is a great program

I wouldn't trust Sandboxie. I'm almost certain that I could write software that could "break out" of the sandbox. If I get bored I might do it sometime later this week (depends how good Aion is).

A full-blown VM is much safer. But obviously you need multiple VMs classified into security levels and for them to be automatically wiped and reimaged on every restart.

EDIT: Lol, it doesn't even support x64. They could've at least provided an implementation using a KPP bypass. Sigh, fail. Not gonna bother then, x86 is fail.

However, your every day keylogger isn't written by a Cypher, not to mention the majority would not be written with Sandboxie in mind...

I lol'd at : "50000 free golds".

How an sane human brain can true this!?

Nice job in doing this, maybe we'll have less people on the forums now trying to scam ourselves. =P

On a more serious note, does this mean things like scamming templates are going?
