respectfully fake this, id like to see it and good fucking luck
http://steamcommunity.com/id/reaper0268

but suppose somebody with lots of profile rep went rogue. had he had a SOP rep thread, then the account would have been banned and the rep thread could have been cleaned. instead, if the user privates his profile, then the positive rep can't be removed.
in addition, private profiles can comment on anyone's profile the same. how can you tell how old those accounts are? make screenshots private, mess with the name now and then, and a 2 wk old acc is just as good as a 2 year old acc.
a successful scammer has patience - it's doable EITHER way.

Um yeah..like im going rogue... and the moon will someday crash into the earth next week.. and what if what if what if

Datastorm took a shot at me and in reality its the SOP reps that have a no validity or means to check the reps of those making the posts.. i would say SOP reps are worthless ... but im not an idiot.

and its still fucking funny im being told my rep is worth 0 in light of trusted members here who have recently been caught pulling shady shit... .. i would think someone would be smart enough not to trade high dollar items with someone who has a private bp... 9 times out of 10 its hiding something..

Either way it can all be faked.. easily.. 100xs more easily than it can on a profile.. there is nothing linking the reps people post in SOP to anyone in steam.. take a lesson from some of the other trader sites that list profiles and backpacks with the people who post... otherwise the reps here have no validity

those who live in glass houses shouldnt be casting stones... especially in my fucking direction

my steam rep doesnt count here... lol i really dont fucking care..

my profile and rep have way more validity and reliabilty then anything here in sourceop.

but your comment is just plain fucking stupid and is sent in my direction so i feel the need to respond

.is just that your opinion without merit and a total fucking joke...

^ this... is exactly why i didn't like you. You seem to treat everyone against you or with different opinions with no respect whatsoever.

Although i do respect you for being a legit member of this community and for being a great collector. You cant just say this like your the king and sourceop is nothing, and has "no rep validity".

I do agree with datastorm and daem0n about the rep issue. For example sourceop rep threads require your steam profile link inside so no one can use it for themselves. To put fake comments in a SOP rep page is hard especially trying to impersonate someone who left a rep with number of posts, avatar, sigs and name. With steam accounts i have seen scammer's profiles rep'ing themselves and to impersonate a rep on steam is much easier, just putting the name and avatar and copying the rep word for word.

Not only this but in SOP you have dedicated admins who constantly check threads and lock them if they are scammers or breaking the rules like (no steam id on a rep page)

Steam comments do count in seeing if someone is trusty, but depends on number and value.

Why you didnt like me? you came in chat and got pissed off cause i didnt know who u were.. like WTF... i already said several times that yeah i recognized you as pro... but then you expected me to read every page of your rep.... and i really didnt have time so i flipped thru the first few pages.. bouncy chat can really sucks sometimes

im polite when folks are also polite... but yeah.. when someone takes a cheap shot at me im not going to sit and smile like a whipping boy...sorry 20 years military..its not who i am

you wanted to buy a hat and couldnt follow simple instructions for my records ...in fact you refused and became argumentative

and hey guess what fucks nuts.. the notes do work.. as i beat my chargeback, the pen is mightier than the sword and that kind of thing and havent had another since

you are the one who got rude there guy... im sorry that the whole incident happened and im sorry i didnt know who you were or how great you are

PEN15 you came kicking in the door to my shop and expected me to cater to you like u were someone important... I have the greatest respect for Datastorm and Daem0n and yes .. even you

....but yeah...his comments aimed at me are without merit and pissed me off especially with SOPs latest track record

that is why this is called the flame bucket and in case u havent noticed i am known for being a very nice guy.. we got off on the wrong foot and i am sorry that we did.

[reaper0268]

Wow Butane, what a fucking temper you have... is funny .. now u are casting stones in my direction...u dont even know me... u are suppose to be the moderator and impartial... immature? lol.. take a look in the mirror jack

take your fucking power trip somewhere else instead of exercising your shit where it doesnt belong...... if u dont like the thread then stay the fuck out of it...

yeah..your the mod here..i get that.. but throwing all the shit at me you just did.. and then locking the thread... fucking cowardly

telling me to take my shit to PM... and lock the thread ..ahh... why even have the flame bucket if you cant get it off your chest? like i said...fucking hypocrites

as for you snarf.. you bandwagon hopper suck dick ..you can fuck yourself too...if the shit puts you to sleep.. then dont read it... maybe youll have a better time putting your tongue up someone else's ass

im so sorry the truth hurts... this was between Pen15 and I... not the peanut gallery

i posted to warn others to recognize his greatness or fear his wrath... not to get in a pissing contest with admins and mods.. and plz dont get me wrong when i say the reps here have no validity... what i mean is there is no way for a buyer or seller to validate whether the rep that is being linked is actually the person's who is linking it.. that problem does not exist within kthe steam profile or some other trade forums.

You are so unfathomably stupid that I question how you get up every morning and feed yourself.
The whole purpose of locking the thread was so you two lovebirds could have your makeout session in private without anyone else interjecting.

[reaper0268]

snarf..i really dont feel like matching wits with you when you are unarmed

[daem0n]

my above post was not directed at you (specifically or otherwise) - there are plenty of people with lots of profile rep.

this is what I don't understand - do you mean this:
some SOP account reps a person here, and that account doesn't link to any account in particular? hence you can't find the owner of that account

my point is that the same happens for profile rep - private profiles, new profiles, impersonators, scammer profiles - their rep looks all the same

That is exactly what i mean.. most folks who arent familiar with SOP have no clue they link back at the first post.. you dont see imposters linking to a steam profile that doesnt belong to them because you can just click on that individuals avatar and see who you are dealing with... however as we all know they create fake profiles and link to SOP reps that dont belong to them

and yes...if u look at the numbers in a profile u can see when something looks suspicious.. but again....even i had to be schooled on these things... and anyone who deals with a person whos profile is private is just asking for trouble
