Last year there was something about present scamming being illegal since people use actual money to get presents. Is it true? If it is, did the rule carry on into this year?

Scamming in general is legal, not much staff can do. So many people scam presents its hard to keep track of everyone. Not sure what was going on last year.

I think somebody high up should be doing it to be honest - it also makes you feel happy jailing scammers lol
Ive tried scamming people but I just cant its like people trust me but I cant betray their trust :(
This is so wholesomeQuote:

Now you got my view ;DQuote:

Lets say, Bob is a player who wants to trade gifts. Jay is a guy who sat in start saying "PM me for G4G". Bob PMed Jay and Jay told Bob to go first. Bob went first, and Jay gave the gift.
So it was a sucessful trade.
Then, another player called Mason is doing the same as Jay, Bob PMed Mason and Mason told Bob to go first, Bob went first because he thinks that players wont scam him because the previous trade was successful, so he went first, but Mason scammed him.
Trusting players is a biiiiiig con. Even your friends could be one of those toxic players.

You can't guess who the scammers are and who the non-scammers are so it's not the players fault

(hypothetically speaking)
Wait i change my wordQuote:

^^^ this right here, scamming presents is legal and if somehow the staff team decided to punish players who scam would be absurdQuote:

Snk jailed them because he witnessed the act of scamming himself and since powers were in his hand he could jail them. If you got scammed and you told him that, he wont be able to do anything because there's no evidence.
And speaking of someone doing that, I don't think the current staff would bother even as Snk advises so because he is no longer manager. It's also decentralising the enforcement of rules, making it unequal and unfair for those with no power - the players.
