Post Spamming is causing the decline of gameflip

Can confirm. I’ve seen many vendors come and go due to spam.

I used this site every day for close to a year. I’ve created posts about the same thing and even though the mods have replied nothing was done.

It’s very frustrating to deal with.

I still remember the mods helping me to try to avoid these listings by using tags to make my search more specific even though I only wanted to search by most recent.

Here’s what I don’t understand. When I search “Striker” to see all Striker items listed on Gameflip. Why do I see 15 Striker firegods listed by the same user? I know this user doesn’t have 15 of them to sell. I’m on mobile and shouldn’t have to swipe down 10 times to get through their listings.

I’ve honestly thought about buying all 15 listings just so I can give them 14 bad ratings for not being able to deliver.

If they only have one item there should only be one listing.

Anyway I’ve become very fond of a lot of the regulars here on both Xbox RL section and the forum itself but it has changed what I do on this site.

It affected my sales and ultimately made me decide to cancel my pro membership. I couldn’t get the sales I needed to make it worth while.

I really hope something can be done. I’ve been waiting patiently.

Thanks for your time. :v:

Agree, there are 4 or 5 users repost every single hour, they using some bot, they filling 2 pages with one click, it’s really annoying.

If you see people breaking the ToS on gameflip, report them to Dunn and he will take action on them. You must have enough proof tho. He already warned and banned few guys who were breaking the ToS thanks to the forum and all reporting

@DunnBiscuit

I just wanted to thank you for taking action. I noticed that the spamming has stopped for the most part and just last night alone I sold 11 rocket league items.

Thank you for following through.

It is my pleasure, if you see anyone else spamming, just PM me so I can check it further.

@DunnBiscuit Can you please help me find out how long i’m suspended for? I got a text saying my account was suspended and to check my email for more information but it’s been 5 hours and i still haven’t received a email

Well that was nice for about a week. @DunnBiscuit

Question for the mods. Will the mods surf the listings on this site. If so, can they not see this.

I’m not sure why other users have to send the profile info when you can see what’s going on with 5 min of browsing.

The rules are the problem. Not the users. They’ve found an easy way to get around what they’re being told and it’s easy when your selling keys and crates.

Here’s my example

Keys

1x, 2x, 10x, 20x, 30x, 40x, 50x, 60x, 70x, etc.

Keys

5x, 15x, 25x, 35x, 45x, 55x, 65x, etc

Keys & crates

1x, 2x, 10x, 20x, 30x, 40x, 50x, 60x, 70x, etc.

Keys & crates

5x, 15x, 25x, 35x, 45x, 55x, 65x, etc

Look at all my listings. They are all different and I own all these items. Therefor it’s aloud. In 5 minutes I will repost in different increments and still not be breaking the rules.

I’m not selling like this but there are many that are and it’s easy to spot. With multiple key/crate sellers doing this the listings are sure taking up all the spots again.

EDIT - I’m not trying to give you a hard time @DunnBiscuit. I appreciate all the work you’ve done for us. I also don’t want these guys to get there account banned. Some of these guys have sick deals and one of them is my main go to guy for keys. I just wish there was another way to keep the listings clean and easy to navigate.

I still feel like a separate key/crate section would be great.

Hello, Dm @DunnBiscuit with all the proof you got and im pretty sure he will check all proof for taking action against the users. Keep taking pictures and if he doesnt respond, try making a new post and reporting i think

By the time Gameflip is done assessing the situation there will be nobody left who cares. It’s unbearable to try to find random items now. If you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for and search by item name then forget about it.

I think the first 100-200 items when I logged on and searched by most recent were keys by the same sellers we’ve all reported multiple times.

Anyway just wanted to give this topic the BUMP it so rightly deserves.
