Yes, I use irc, I'm idling from time to time in p2pnet.. Anyway, let's say an irc channel opens on a server (any server).. From that moment on, ANYONE can go and register anyone else's nick to use and scam ppl, I don't think everyone will join the server and register the nick from the first moment, though i'm sure some scammers will run immediatly for this... Also what about someone who doesn't want or know how to use irc?? Does he have to learn to use it just so that he registers his nick so that a scammer won't use it without knowing it?? And don't tell me mods will take time to check who's who, we're talking about THOUSANDS of members here on FST .. And even if there's a rule that someone is obligated to check the id of the person by pming him here, then again some ppl would fall for it again.. The only thing that can come out of it is chaos in my opinion... And I've seen it happen before in another thing (not trading stuff)..
ps.Thanx Insomnia
