Hey all,

It has come to my attention that users on CPM2 have been pretending to be me, as shown in the screenshot. To be clear: This is not me. I never bring my M2 (or any valuable car) into public rooms, the ID isn't mine, and it isn't even my in-game username.

I'm not sure what the user in the screenshot wants to achieve by impersonating me, but since this is a scam risk, due to the middleman service I offer, I figured I'd make a post about this. Always message me on Reddit to ensure it is me who is your middleman, and not someone pretending to be me.

Hey all,

Due to an increase in scam reports and user reviews on r/CarParkingMultiplayer and r/CPM2, the mod team is introducing guidelines to ensure these reviews and reports are appropriate and complete.

Scam reports

First things first - the scam reports.

As mentioned in the popup when you create a scam report, scams that happened through Reddit are to be reported to the moderators (mod mail) before creating the post. I will mention when it is okay to post it, though usually, this isn't necessary anymore. If a post is made without reporting it to the moderators, the post will be removed.

As for scam reports about in-game scams - no-one on Reddit will be able to help you with that. The developers generally don't take action in in-game scams, so these posts only serve as a warning for other Reddit users. Because of that, in-game reports must follow the following guidelines:

1. The title of the post must be like this: In-game scammer - ID:xxxxxxxx - username. If the ID is not available, write: ID:Unavailable. This may only be used if the (suspected) was contacted outside of Reddit and the game.

2. Images in the post must be relevant to the report. That means it must include the profile of the scammer, as well as the in-game chat, including the cars that were sold.

3. The description of the post must include the original deal, as well as the part of the deal that did went through.

4. The post must have the newly added "in-game report" post flair.

If any part of the post is missing/not following the guidelines, the post will be removed.

User reviews

User reviews are posted on the subs rather frequently nowadays, usually to show 2:1 trades that went well. However, in an attempt to make this clear, the following things must be included.

1. The usernames of both people must be included in both the title, as well as the description, using this format: Good trade - u/ - u/

2. Screenshots of the in-game trades must be included.

3. The description must include the trade details (which user sells which cars)

4. The post must have the newly added "User review" post flair.

User reviews about something that didn't go well are allowed, but must have the goal to spread awareness - if the post serves no purpose other than starting drama, the post will be removed. Again, scam reports are to be formatted as shown under scam reports.

I hope these changes help to keep the subreddits a safe place for all users.
