The Red Lions is not an 'Official' scam prevention group. That is just what some of the members are doing, and they do NOT have moderation powers to limit people. If you trust a Red Lions member solely because of a group, it is like trusting an Ub3r member just because of the group.

I would never trust a member on Hackforums at all. The basic principle I follow is act like you are always about to be scammed when doing deals.

Another informative addition. Keep it up!

I don't trust any member on this site except Omniscient at times.
I know Red Lions is not a scam prevention group but they do handle scam reports and report SPAM on HF. They sure do not have the ability to moderate anything but they sure do build a database of scam offenders and as they do I believe Mods should take the words of the red lion leaders and look more into the database and ban a scammer who has committed at least 2 scams and not wait til 4 scams to be made successfully.

It has already been said that their 'scammer database' is not official in anyway, nor accurate.

Then why do they care about scammers so much?
I mean they have created a website for reporting scams, I see a lot of red lion members posting the disputes section, neg repping scammers and more.

Why do other groups care about certain things? They take interest in it. It doesn't mean that it is affiliated with HackForums in any other way besides having a subforum. When the Reverence did coding/programming, were they considered the programming authority of HF? No, they just wanted to try to contribute. Not official, just want they wanted to do.

OK I also take interest in it, but according to Red Lions they mainly cover up the Marketplace and report sales trashing, illegal products, trolling etc but their reports aren't taken care of mostly, why?

Red Lions is a group which the members try to make HF a better place which includes by reporting SPAM so that HF is a better and safer place but their reports are looked cover at times. Not just that if I issue a report to some Mods/Mentors they either don't reply back to me or take care of the problem and let the people go. That's why I prefer contacting T3h Hack3r from the Mods list and iNviZ from the Mentors list, because they always get back to me and tell me why they did that action.

Once again Sir you come out with a flabbergasting news. Looking forward to next weeks.

If you read the blog, they cant inject the untethered because Limera1n exploit used to do that :P. The legal port of Siri is anything but big now, they cant prove its all legal because its still grabbing files that Apple doesnt allow. When I typed this it was days before the b2 or Corona got updated. Also if you read carefully I said that pod2G released the untethered with THE HELP, the help of the iPhone Dev Team and Chronic Dev Team. Both of the dev teams really didnt do anything, it was all @pod2g's work and he gave the files to both of them to test and release.

I didn't read the blog.
Lol my bad.
The redsn0w b2 still stands then.
Good job on teh blog article. I'll read it when I catch my breath.

Although no one really mentioned iPhone Dev team.

Q.Do you think that new usergroups are good for the site? In what way do that affect HF?
A. I don't think new usergroups are good for the site, because we have 13 groups already and addition of 2 more equals to 15 groups in total and most of the groups similar to each another such as posting HQ tutorials and guides, giving back to HF and helping out others/ learning more things. If there are new and different groups then I would like to join them and learn and also do new things with them and do different things instead of doing the same thing over and over in different groups. Plus I also find the RED LIONS group kinda useless because they were officially made to take care of scammers but if the I go into the "Open disputes" section I can see over 3 threads but different people saying that they were scammed by the same scammer others were. I believe red lions should limit a scammer who fails to refund the money so that he would have less people being scammed instead of waiting for 4 scams to be completed by a scammer in order to be banned.

You are supposed to PM Sir the topic and your repoy.

Good work, I liked it.

Some of the things I didn't like, however are:
- The second 'interview' wasn't much of an interview. No one even 'interviewed' the guy, it looks like you just threw together some questions and answers. Very poor job on it. The first interview, though, was nice.
- I think the music section is unnecessary.
- You are going to run out of things to say for 'Sir's Second', maybe make it like 'User's Second'? That way people other than Sir can have their 'moment to shine', they'll also have different things to say and different ways to say it.
- Since this is a 'professional' News team (or so members a part of it have claimed), I think that the comics were too childish. I also don't think the comics should include vulgarity like the second one.
- Why are the 'Written topics' even there? I don't understand the purpose.
- I also think you should include more user news.

Not sure if I personally like the changes.
Good work, though.

Is it just me or some of the images aren't really loading?

All of the images loaded fine for me.
I'd say it was just you.

- That was the way Poppins answered it, like a survey, we didn't have the time to try to get him to do it all again.
- It's news and some people like it. I think it will stay for now.
- I am going to continue Sir's Second as I will always have things to say.
- The comics were fine in my opinion, and in other's. As for the second one, vulgarity in what sense?
- So people don't have to watch the Webshow to get the news.
- Give me a section idea that will work as "user news" and I will look in to it.

User news- Select 3 or 4 people from around HF and ask them to speak their mind about HF, what they like, what they don't and what they feel should be changed (only a small section of it)

[kamz89]

All the images loaded perfectly for me without refreshing the page.

Oh, I thought it was interviewed like that. Did the interviewer use numbers etc?
True.
If you will continue it by yourself, I think you should always keep it about non-HF things.
Vulgar as in 'bored as TITS'. Sure it isn't bad, but my guess is that some users would prefer it w/o.
Oh, makes sense.
I really mean just 'more' of it. There are more things that happen throughout the week than posted. I just like the user news so I'd prefer it.

I also think (if possible) that you removed your signature from the News. If you can't, at least calm it down w/o all the flashyness.

EDIT; When i say 'user news', I actually meant 'Notable Account Changes', sorry.
