Rhys13th Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 So... â¤Î£ÎºÎ±Ï€Î±Î½Îας|Gr|â¤. You guys have probably seen the poorly phrased comments all over the high end pricing suggestions. The user claims to have experience in practically everything, while not posting proof. Looking at their profile, (http://backpack.tf/u/76561198002055092), one can see that they have around 50% accuracy, but more importantly, a history of attempting to manipulate prices, most recently of the Vintage Bill's. I own one, and I would gain from it going up, and I still find it appalling that a person would try and be this blatant about it. http://backpack.tf/vote/id/5139ce794bd7b8011b000001 is a good example of this. What I want to know is what are your opinions on this matter. Mods, I added another option in the poll incase this is the wrong area for this. EDIT: (http://forums.backpack.tf/index.php?/topic/380-rare-items-and-the-voting-system/) More proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheep Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Yes. So much yes. This totally isn't just because he spammed my outpost trade once with idiotic bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"seems legit" Or maybe I am reading it wrong Though I doubt a ban is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC22 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I didn't read either of those as malicious, to be honest.IMO seems legit is a pretty taunty statement. There are many worse people out there who need bans, this person might get at worst a casual warning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhys13th Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Anyone else have an opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uranium235 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Making bad suggestions, even if only for your own benefit, is no reason to ban. I guess (s)he honestly thought he was right because he valued the items like the V. Bill's higher than the current price. He even tried to buy many of the items he suggest a new, higher price for (although probably only after he gave up). But many ppl try to do that. That's why we can vote and suggestions get closed. No reason to ban anyone, unless you're spamming with suggestions that only have that purpose, to spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
✔ P I X E L A T E D ✔ Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I don't want bp.tf banning to turn into OP banning, over there its pretty ruthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhys13th Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 you can but as you can see this thread is ineffective. The point wasn't to try and ban the person, just see what people thought. If you treat it any other way, I'm afraid you're conjuring hamsters where there are none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, well as most of their suggestions didn't got accepted, they haven't even made profit out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 He made a good offer on my unusual once. Added me. Everything seemed normal. Then said, "I don't feel comfortable buying this hat, give me a day to make sure it's not duped," so I sold it to someone else. The heck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokedem Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Please do. The man(?) is a douchebag, and basically admits to being a price manipulator. He also posted poorly faked screenshots on a price suggestion of his. Suggestion Faked screens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
