Stopping Scammers and Smart Marketplace Choices

I'm already happy with the level of work thats been out into the marketplace. So long as more people are vigilant of whom they're purchasing from, people won't get scammed. Common sense before all else.
Omni you are a bloody internet sensation i hope i can live up to what you have become on day! You have done an amazing job of this website and i absolutely love how hard you work towards making it better and better!
I have seen nothing but such greatness out of the contract system, Glad it was added and even as someone that has been here a while, buying/selling is so much better with all these new changes. You and Xerotic keep up the great work, very much appreciated.

Bumping this because it's still very relevant and I wish it was read more widely.

Why don't you (get someone to) make a video tutorial on how to use the HF marketplace, how to use contracts and what to look out for.
The sad reality is a vast amount of people think 2-3 sentences is about as long as a message can be before they just stop reading.

A nicely made video would promote HF as well as help new members actually get informed about everything you've put so much work into.

Edit: in fact, you could give out awards for videos about the subject as well like you did with the HF promotional videos.

Is this what the world has come to "Videos" no one can read any more?

There is already a sticky thread in the marketplace on how to use the Contracts.
If one can't take the time to read (Before making a deal) then it's there problem.

Well, yeah, to an extent.
And people not reading the information already provided is not just their problem, it's Omni's problem as well (he's forced to hear their whining).

Anyway, just offering a suggestion to help. Not sure what the intent in your comment is if I'm honest.

Yes I would agree HF does a ton to protect HF from bad people if only they took the time to use those tools.

No disrespect Warbiest

I appreciate your comment, However my point is the fact we already have a system in place.
It only takes a few minutes to read a simple thread.

This is not only a marketplace problem, It's forum wide!.

There are sticky's in place in each forum for a reason
And it only take a little time to "Read" first.

Trust me I'm dealing with the same issues in the Wiki forum.  ✌

I can read much faster than watch a video.

My only issue is with the fact that staff never closes proactively, the only way for scammer to get closed is through multiple open disputes.
Your argument that you have rules and whole infrastructure in place so the amount of scams that go through is minimal is valid, no doubt, but why you'd chose one way over another when you can do both and really make a change is beyond me.
