Small update
So tired of fake sellers =\
For this reason i decided to do small ninja patch:
- Report button was added into user profile.
P.s.
First test build of new front-end is almost ready.
I will create another post with instructions, when we finish our preparations.

I have an idea: if there is someone who hasn't been on for a month (or two or three whatever you guys think) maybe their item (or account) could be removed so there isn't a lot of clutter of (fake) sellers towards the bottom of the list? BTW thanks for making such a great website! <3
btw people only report a user if they need to buy something from them, if only a few people per week try to buy something from a user (in his case he's almost never the lowest seller), how can he get enough reports? just look at these guys intelligently, msg them on the website or in game. you'll see theyre just trying to game the market!
well just look at their accounts, tamirn is never online and there is no way hes selling hundreds of frost prime sets. message him to see what he is up to, or just delete him already. he posts lower prices so others that post under him post for even less, thus destroying prices for a lot of things. people dont report him because hes never online and he makes sure he is never the lowest seller. thats the scamming im talking about
no updates recently? and how come the report button doesnt work? these scammers Tamirn and MichelTieINL ARE NEVER ONLINE, and have been reported multiple times, yet they have so many bogus 'selling orders' that are always 10-40 plat lower than others! ban them already!
Hi, it works, just Tarmin and MichelTieINL doesn't have reasonable number of reports. (less than 5) Usually scammers can acquire 15+ in one day, or at least 10. Btw, about update, i am building "backers"-preview version now, there will be post about how to connect. I will send you instructions in PM too =)
While you are at "tired of" ... could ninja patch players online status to offline automatically after 6 hours. There are still many people that forget to flag offline.
How do you handle those? Let's assume someone reported person XYZ, who sells Argon scope for 20. Report would have something like for "Said he doesn't have trades left"/"Already sold"/"No answer after 20 min"
I will manually check all users with ">n" reports. + fresh accounts with, only one, low price "Maiming strike" is already suspicious enough, so if we add here a few reports => ban surely will be legitimate. Theory: Maybe i will be able to find some correlations, that will help in future to detect fake accounts in automatic way, at least some types of them. Anyway, let's see how it will going.
