Obv this was a big decision to make as alot of hits for the site were to the scam section but the place was out of control, paypal scams, 100s of phishers ect... were filling the place up. I did get alot of my rep from the scam section and do do minor scamming myself but imo you have done the right thing.
I love the new rules, the old in game trade trick was awesome so yay to more things like that  |

Personally I have no desire to ever come back to MMOwned if I can't find new and updated methods for my Phishers, E-mail scams, and other things. Give it a requirement. 100 Reputation, 100+ Posts, been a member for like 6+ months.
I personally only play by scamming game-cards and other accounts, and I don't want to go back to shoplifting WoW GameCards and CD Keys at WalMart and Target.
There are no other sites like this, so I would either have to spend a large amount of my time updating and inventing new scams, something I just don't have the time for anymore, or make my own website, which is a hassle.
It is your website, I can't force anyone to change it, however it is disappointing. I do respect the decision though, it was incredibly leecher-friendly and out of control, and not to mention illegal in many ways.
I'm not going to say I grew a conscience, because I didn't, but it was a big decision guys, and I hope it turns out well for everyone. Quote:

Doing so won't eliminate scams, but it may increase the reputation of the website, however decreasing its views and popularity.
Whatever, good luck guys. I guess we'll have to find another website.

And if you dont want to get those scammers on mmowned, why don't you just delete all threats? Some are closed and some are still open..
