Guest samuel#0002 Report post Posted April 25, 2020 Hey! Some may know me as samuel and others as IB5X. I have a new tip for scam investigators, So. Majority of the scammers Probably are New-ish to discord. (If not discard this). And I was thinking we can have a system to let only 2 month+ old accounts into the discord server. This would make it so much more reliable and safe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thetechguy61705 2 Report post Posted May 26, 2020 That would be a pretty good idea actually. Another way, instead of limiting them from the server entirely would be to just limit them from creating hiring/selling posts if their accounts are under 2 months old. This could be easily be done with HiddenBot 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBritGuy 1 Report post Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) That is an amazing idea however that would only really be effective at stopping alts. Believe it or not majority of scammers have either been in the server a long time or been on Discord a long time. Great idea though!

Officially_MrDev (TheBritGuy) Senior Scam Investigator This is correct, but also some people use alternate accounts to pull off mass scams, even if it doesn't cut down by a lot, it could cut the scam investigation work significantly because scammers who use alternate accounts would have to wait that two month period I'm sure they'd just wait it out but it could help with scams 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't get me wrong it is an amazing suggestion but it wouldn't work within our community. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two months isn't a long period of time, anyone interested in selling their works or hiring other devs will likely survive that period. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
