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
