    Okay here's the story , i was playing sky block and i meet this guy , he tells every one to tpa to him and so people tp and tpa to him so i look around the island and see a sign saying buy this cobble stone this isn't normal cobble stone only some people have this , it cost 200 , and i was like cool , so i see people buying them and then some of them noticed that it was just normal cobble stone, the guy who owned the island with the shop was ( Gardianlegend00 ) , i think this needs to be sorted out like , a range limit on block so like a price range of 1-10 on cobble , or 50 - 100 on a diamond block , would any one else agree?

    Scamming is sadly allowed. Be careful to make sure you don't get scammed yourself. :)

    If there was a range limit on certain blocks, it would ruin the game for the scammers. I know this sounds bad but as previously said scamming is allowed and for this reason I don't think this will be implemented.

    If people want to sell in bulk, they should be able to. I think the plugin is fine.

    It would also be controlling the economy, which is what we don't want to do.

    We will not be changing anything in this regard anytime soon.

    Finding all scammers would be difficult and might get rid of many players on Minetime. It's mainly a problem on Skyblock.

    It would just be a struggle for staff. I would just avoid the scammers. When the scam awareness rose up lately,
    I haven't seen nearly as many scam victims. There's always going to be someone that gets tricked.

    Well i think there can be a system where if the scammer gets 10 reports of 10 different players he should get a temp ban?

    The price range, some people use more than 10$ on cobble for donations. Or scams. This will definitely not be implemented. Sorry :(.

    It's hard to trace scamming. Most of the time when players report scamming, I very much doubt they got scammed and only want free stuff for the sake of it being free.

    We have not, and never will, make scamming against the rules. Trade at your own risk and only with trustworthy people.
