FF could go a long way towards improving the 'Commercial Member' status to something that is actually as useful as the name implies. When I go to a commercial business, I am expecting a certain level of proficiency by the staff at that business, not the 99% scam rate that we are seeing here with the Commercial Members.
How about this:
1) Commercial Members are not allowed to delete Trade Explorers.
2) Commercial Members are not allowed to hide any part of their Trade Explorers.
3) Commercial Members Trade Explorers must be real accounts, not demo, and maintain a minimum of 5K USD balance or equivalent at all times.
Of course this would kill Commercial Members and the Commercial section. Killing these is not in FF best interest though, as the whole premise of it is not to discourage scamming. I would argue that Commercial section operates better in FF interests the way it is right now. I also believe that the constant scamming is standard operating procedure as far as FF is concerned. It encourages noobs to be scammed and lose their money to the advertisers on FF. Them advertisers in turn pay the bills for running FF. One hand feeds the other at the noobs expense. FF needs to concentrate on cleaning this shit up as it just looks bad when they won't even implement the simplest rules to help protect the noob.
Of course the noob is not completely innocent either. Greedy, impatient fuckers. I will bet that most of them know it's a scam before they get scammed. When they do get scammed, it's always someone else's fault. How about noobs doing their due fucking dilligence. Do your fucking homework. In a way you need to be scammed if you fell for this shit. It's so fucking obvious that it's a scam. What are you fucking retarded or what? How about taking some responsibility for your own stupid decision.
It is a noble effort, this thread, and the participants need to be commended. Thankyou for your work. If only FF could step up and do more to help improve the situation.
