The main arguement against the 4.5 million dollar marble was that it was impossible to automatically tell the difference between a ridiculous auction and a flezz transfer, and that the mods (then only MCB and Tubs) were far too overworked to manually investigate.

Now, with 10 mods, I feel like this kind of thing would be viable. At any given time there are usually a few mods on or around, so if we announced ahead of time that we were having a bull**** auction and were transparent with what was happening throughout, wouldn’t it be ok now?

In all my time doing kyoubai and as a mod. Ive actually never seen a flag as abuse or clsoe for abuse option

(And yes Ive looked)

this means one of two things.

A.) its automatic, based of specs or some mumbo-jumbo such as that.

B.) Its up to an admin or (possibly, but unlikely) a higher mod (Which would be TUBS if this is even the case)

Bring it up to one of them, if this still goes unresponded.

Mods have no control over it, it’s all automated. When there were complaints about some items which SHOULD be valuable, which were confiscated for abuse, I bumped them to ET and he made the call. Expect yours to be treated the same way, but if it’s cheap junk, expect to lose it.

Which is the point of this thread. I expect to lose it and the flezz if I don’t get a go-ahead from a mod first. Someone who can actually get a hold of ET and say “This auction is going to be flagged for abuse, but it’s on the level, so please let it go through/do whatever you need to do to make it legit.”

No mod can make that call right now, because they don’t know what item you’re talking about. Tell a mod what the item is, or post it here, or figure out some way to discuss the item, and it can be run by ET to see if he would be willing to adjust the abuse level if it’s too low.

But if you’re still talking about marble, for 4.5 mil? Expect to lose it. Log in to see images!
