RE: Nigerian Scammers 

So it's ok to steal from someone if he's ignorant? I don't think so... And for that guy, it's not funny. So, I can steal your wallet, and say it's funny, because you didn't notice? Same thing.

Stealing is never funny, being ignorant can be funny, but not when things like this happen. Most 13 year old's are not yet familiar with the ways of the world...
Neither are most parents, on the internet side of the world that is....


regards,
Michiel

RE: Nigerian Scammers 

Few things I don't like about this thread, the title for starters - for all I know Nigerian culture may be full of scams or it may be one of the most honest cultures going, I don't know, I haven't visited nor studied its culture. What this title and the thread does is just help a prejudice grow......Not a fan of being told what to expect of people before I get to know them as INDIVIDUALS..

The scammer thing Ive seen before and I still think it's not acceptable behaviour, someone trys to scam you, report it to the game company or whoever deals with it on their behalf. The guy who turns the table is at risk of acct banning for violating the ToS himself.

Some young people are incredibly sheltered and don't know these things and comedy is subjective :)

Hard not to at least once, I think it's really funny but yeah there maybe some who may consider it too mature for some members, if I was still staff I'd be in 2 minds about it but as I'm not staff I'll try not to wory about it and just smile at it when I see it :) Up to the staff and network as to whats considered appropriate.

You know after 20 yrs living in a cosmopolitan city (London) I've only gotten to know 1 Nigerian, cool bloke. I have heard the words Nigerian and Scammer being used together in a number of sources and about various scams, it just starts to create a negative stereotype and I'm not a fan of stereotypes. 'Treat people as you find them' is a common saying where I'm from :)

RE: Scammers 

Lol Nigerian scammers. My grandpop works in africa and Iv'e met a few nigerians. All of em were nice. I can't imagine one of the guys I know scamminganyone. Still think the thing nyoxis is funny. Don'treally care if the stupid kid got his account back or not. You reap what you sow. that was probably not his only account and I doubt it was legit.

Few things I don't like about this thread, the title for starters - for all I know Nigerian culture may be full of scams or it may be one of the most honest cultures going, I don't know, I haven't visited nor studied its culture. What this title and the thread does is just help a prejudice grow......Not a fan of being told what to expect of people before I get to know them as INDIVIDUALS..

The scammer thing Ive seen before and I still think it's not acceptable behaviour, someone trys to scam you, report it to the game company or whoever deals with it on their behalf. The guy who turns the table is at risk of acct banning for violating the ToS himself.

By the time i was 13 i was aware of all (well most) of the dangers out there. So it is funny. Live and Laugh ={O


Some young people are incredibly sheltered and don't know these things and comedy is subjective :)


Stop being such a *censored*.

And...

*censored*

I would say welcome to gameamp Arcnai but it looks like your stay will be on the short side.

RE: Scammers 

Wait, what was this about Nigerians and scamming people? Once you get past my ignorance its a good question (at least from me)




We wonder, "Why?" when we lose friends, and there are never any good answers.

RE: Scammers 

Yeah Aracnai that comment was completely unnecessary. You obviously know nothing about the community here at GA. No flaming, swearing or the like. EG is one of the more respected people around here, so watch your language please.

RE: Scammers 

I know GA is respected. I just couldn't believe no one told Evil Geek not to try and be the "dad" around here.

And as for my language, I am watching it. *censored* (watched it, see?)
