The main point of this thread is about the future of our lovely forum, I've personally have becoming a silent reader of several similar forum out there. (tbn, hackforum. etc) and within my point of view, so many of them is filled with scammers, leakers and such. how would admin, especially angemon would deal to this situation?
i know a forum sure need members and such, or even subs to maintain the server working, but is there any way for us to filter that kind of member dwelling around our forum?
a2s is my first forum subs, never done any subs on other forum. so I don't wanna let my lovely forum (investment, cough!) goes to waste. well, sometimes it's disturbing my mind a lot lately.
well, thankyou a2s
btw, is there any escrow service here if we want to open a shop or sth?
I think we got a bright future for this forum, since it's a lot more personal, since even the owner contributes and answers anything.
We also have a great staff team, and I think we would solve any misunderstandings.
About the scammers, leakers. Well, for now we don't have any scammer's, since we don't have much activity in the market, but where there will be some, we will focus on that and make it safer. For leakers, well, there are some, but they only got the methods that are posted in public threads. We are pretty active online, and on others forums, so if someone leaks something, we probably will see that too.

lI'm glad to hear that a2s is the first forum you bought a subscription, although we have not that much members and are not that big :)
I'm also glad to hear that you want to know these things.
Since a2s is not that big like other forums it's better to control. The bigger the forum gets the harder it will be to filter scammers etc.
but if we see someone scamming we will try to help to get the other persons money back, and ban the scammer immidiently. Sadly there is not much you can do against scammers :/
We can ban the IP, but if they change it and scam again there is nothing to do than ban the scammer again you know?
We don't have a big marketplace right now, but the best thing we can do against scammers is to clarify people how to deal with people. Never send payments first if the person is not trusted and have no reputation, never receive "normal" payments if the person can send it as gift, if the person is not trusted, because of chargebacks etc.
Against leakers there is also nothing much you can do, but knowing your members. If the forum gets bigger this also will get hard.. But for this reason there is also the VIP section. At the moment i trust all the members who are VIP right now and that's also why the best method gets shared there first to avoid leaking.
So if we had a method to earn 1000$ / day easily, we would never share that at first in the Angeclub section (or personally I would not do that) because in the Angeclub section there are people who are not active in this forum, they just bought Angeclub to get methods and eBooks. I would use the method for a week and after that i would move it in the Angeclub section. And after that most likely it will get saturated and patched after a few days (because its good and it gets probably leaked).
The best thing you can do is to really get active on the forum and the community, post stuff regulary and become a VIP member one day. Because if everyone really knows each other this is the best way to prevent leaking and scamming.
Of course there can be people who are a member for years, and never scammed someone before and then suddenly scamming all people and leak all stuff, but that does not happen very often and you cannot do anything against that :/
And if people leak a good method for a bride mass they are just stupid because it will get saturated or patched within days / hours.
They just need to use their brain, why leak it and ruin it also for yourself, when keeping it a secret will get you, and the few people who know the method, a good amount of $.
And what is "escrow"? :D

yes, for now we don't have any negative point i mentioned above. but sooner or later, the community will grow. and those thing would happen. and i personally think even angeclub subs need to be filtered. and yes, @kiddrock, i hope there will be no scammers even when this forum go big.

yeah, that's why i'm worried chili, it's because we can do pretty much nothing of scammers. the vip system is great though.. or maybe a qualification of a skyrocket priced subs will do, so they feel this was their investment, and think twice to scam or leak.
and lol, you're right. why leak and ruin the method by leaking. :p
escrow is like a middle man between buyer and seller, so the seller would feel safe, so do the buyer, it would prevent scam most of the time, but once again, the middle man must be a highly trusted member and have high awareness so he doesn't pull of mistakes.
i hope the marketplace would become a great community along the way.
