Heh, does the not knowing who scammed it protect you from being frozen though if in an act of scamming you freeze all scammers which would then include yourself regardless of whether you are known to be a scammer or not?
... I've confused myself now

Excellent question this week.
What Trick said. Would I be included in this mass-freezing if I said yes?

No you wouldn't. I thought I added that for some reason. You wouldn't be included in the mass freezing.

*facepalm* Yeah, I see that now. I was just a bit confused by the wording.
I'm still not sure whether that makes a difference to me or not...
Like I said before, this is an excellent question.

This is a confusing question, though I agree that it's excellent. Where do you come up with these ideas?
It's confusing for me because I guess I'm taking it very literally ... wondering how scamming 1 person could impact so many other people (and need a definition of idiot myself - we've all at one time or another said or done something absurd).

You know, the kind of people where you politely and clearly explain to them that their "Mega-Rare" Omelette isn't worth anything, the ones you show the trading post, the shop wizard, the money tree etc so they can learn the value of items...
Only to have them keep trying to sell it for tens of thousands above the price...

Ohhhh, those people! I don't know if I'd freeze them, but I'd make a special place where people had to type something 100 times ... like chain letters don't work; the estimated value is not the same as the real value ... things like that.
