+--- Thread: Donators Get Away With Scamming? (/showthread.php?tid=1580366)

It's because Omni is so greedy he doesn't care if someone loses hard earned money. He just want's the scammers to donate to him,.

They do get banned. Omni just waits after a month to ban them so they can't do a chargeback.
He did it to New York about a half a year ago.

They can do a chargeback after a month.

It's not 11, it's 18, I know for fact :/

Out of thousands. Stop dickriding Omni, please.

No it's not true. Everybody gets away with scamming. Staff don't ban for it. The people who scam, like most criminals in real life, also break other rules. That's why they tend to get banned. Donators don't get away with anything regular members don't get away with.

What staff member would remove a legitimate reputation on a regular member. Yet, Legatti had my reputation removed after Judge confirmed it was acceptable and not abuse.

Phire nuk3r, kutmustakurt (or whatever it is spelled like), xch4ng3, and assassin are all good staff. I might be forgetting some.

Are you kidding? And you think it was removed because he's a donator?

It's 3 months until you can't chargeback.

I would assumed that of a forum this size people would be able to deduce that there would be a large ban list. Also, I fail to see how stating a fact is dickriding. Please, explain your logic. I just checked the list and there is more than 1600 banned.

"Ever hear of Boxxy? He was a master donator who was banned."
One of your posts in which you are defending a false-truth.

Sorry, was Boxxy banned before the Master Donator award?

No, but you were implying that Omni always bans master donators instantaneously. Boxxy wasn't banned until almost a year after scamming, which means that Omni LET him continue threatening members and his own image for that time.
He is doing the same now with the likes of Legitti and Industrialized. Yes, they may get banned eventually, but don't you think 18 potential victims is enough?
He's lucky he has a disclaimer, or the amount of lawsuits filed would be horrific.
