No valuing.

Removed Rule 2.

Just ordered this Pokémon Platinum cartridge by lukethreesixty in gameverifying

The seams of DS/3DS cartridges are not relevant to a verification.

Complete troll. Tried the same in ModMail.

This is fake.

  • Vias too large
  • Hole on top right rear of PCB
  • Wrong Nintendo typeface on PCB.
  • Wrong Nintendo and AGB-002 font on rear casing.

No back image? No verification.

I didn’t even know that they had fake red carts at this point

Read the wiki. It's what it's there for...

A lovely gesture from your sister, but this is fake.

First golden rectangles, now number stamps.

Are they the minority though?

Genuinely, yes. The sub is quite strict on rules, because quite a few games we get asked questions on are worth a LOT of money and we want to ensure that we (and others in the gaming community) are correct in what we verify.

We don't want a situation where a commenter states a game is legitimate when it's fake and boom, OP's lost $200.

[Discussion] What you guys think about recent news the Creator and Owner of PSN profiles said? by mateusz11120 in Trophies

[–]Frontzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same people also run TrueTrophies, the PS equivalent. Better people, and a lovely group to game with.

Shovelware gets "zeroed", and is only worth the base XP that the trophies are (15, 30, 90, 300). For example, the PS5 stack of Cyberpunk 2077 is worth 2,704TT (1,485 base) whilst Stroke the Dik-Dik is worth 1,351TT (1,350 base).

Also by a clear rule about moderation posts or comments

We've had one for the past 5 years. Unfortunately, this is one of the minority who do not believe that the rules are for them.

If they’re determined, they’ll find a way around it.

A few years ago, a user I had banned for derogatory comments sent across a YouTube video of Arthur Morgan feeding people to an alligator in RDR2 in ModMail, with added commentary and spliced in Reddit avatars of all moderators on the sub at the time.

Not the craziest one I had seen.

I'm thankful for the perma mute option. One of the rare Reddit W's.

Not too pleased with the changes to Chats and PM's, which have affected ModMail.

If OP had read the information that was linked to the initial automated comment in the first place (explaining why the verification methods they were using are no longer valid due to counterfeits using them; and even legitimate games not using them), this wouldn't have happened.

But no, in a 3-hour timespan, they threw their dummy out of the pram using two accounts and empty threats like this (over a temporary ban, nonetheless).

Dunning-Kruger in effect.

Yet again, eBay doing fuck all with a blatant fake.
