@nonconsentual_pronouns Addendum: I couldn't include 999 because it's not 999. What I was looking for was a cute silver token for a gift, not some expensive collectible bullion or rare artifact. The fact that the scam was just on some bullshit makes it even more infuriating.
@Soup I have to wait until the 24th but I'm pressing it for sure.
I've gotten burned before with IRL coins which is why I carry a pocket scale and magnet set with me when I go buy them. I will do it right in front of their fucking face. If the magnet sticks I will look them dead in the eye when it does too. Turk fuckboys and their shit.
@DryFish Listen m8, if the description said "I don't know what the metal is, looks silver to me" I'd eat the loss and admit that I am stupid. The problem is they used SILVER in the description.

joshI bought two Lunar new year silver coins for my Chinese friend and I literally got fuckin' CHANG'D. The listings both said "Silver" but in the "COLOR" category. They're "Silver colored" Nickel coins, of the same variety that exists a silver variant. Extremely magnetic and the weight is wrong. Super pissed, going full Karen on them.
@Dicer@Alex1488 I was also a participant in the Tribunal. There were several factors to how this played out.
The Tribunal worked by presenting chatlogs and asking, "is this abusive language?" The idea was that a player would give his genuine opinion and that would resolve the issue.
However, in practice, you received in-game rewards for participating, and, crucially, you were ranked by how often your guess fell in line with popular opinion. You would not be rewarded if your guesses were incorrect, and you actually had a running tally of your correct guesses in a row, which would reset should you fall out of line with even a single popular opinion.
It also had the unintended consequence of sparking social media content around actual tribunal logs. Some were completely hilariously or so insanely and unnecessarily vile that it shocked you. This was a 'bad look' and I am convinced it is the primary reason they dropped the Tribunal.
This is the likely future of Justice. You're entitled to a jury of your peers, but your jury is going to vote based on how they think people want the outcome to be (i.e. with Floyd where they were afraid of riots).
@Rayfield Third case is a Bounty Hunter who completely shit on a Dark Willow. I am 100% convinced that Dark Willow just reported BH every time he killed her in a 3 shot combo.
Fourth game is the strangest one so far. It's also different. I am only given a few minutes of the game entire of an entire replay, and I am told that multiple players got reported but to only focus on Bounty. This time it's for Scripting/Hacking and it's a really strange gameplay footage where it looks like the entire Radiant is hiding off-map, and the Dire are using flying couriers to scan the treelines looking for them. Bounty gets reported after killing a QoP hiding in trees. They're also low level and smoke ganking as 5. The second timestamp is all 5 Radiant dying in the trees behind Dire's T1 safeline. REALLY bizarre reports.
I am forced to assume that this was a 5v5 ranked, one team was throwing to artificially drop their rank, and they were reporting the entire enemy team every time they decided to hunt them down in trees instead of just finishing at 10 minutes in.
The first case I got was some retard mass reporting Lone Druid for just not playing that well in a very low level game. He was dewarding actively after the first rax fell, so I know he wasn't just trying to throw.
Second game was a Marci who did 'feed' but not really because they were trying to, they just sucked. She died 10 times in a 45 minute game and sometimes that happens even when you're really trying my best, lol.
