If they weren't watching, why were they there? If they legitly were not paying attention to the trade, and were not told to, then the staff should not have any punishments. They spam 'Scamming is Legal' so that they can't be blamed in this sort of situation. Congratgulations, you got scammed.

Thunderstorm got fired for scamming, that is the reason for this thread.

Exchanging Items & 'Scamming'

Character-owned items, such as tools, houses, and bomy pets, may be auctioned or traded within Graal's auction or trading features. If, due to bugs in the system, there are discrepancies between the buyer/seller terms and the actual result, GraalOnline will make all reasonable attempts to rectify the situation.

Any exchange of materials outside GraalOnline secured exchange locations, falls under the term 'caveat emptor', or 'buyer beware.' In other words, GraalOnline will not be responsible for rectifying broken promises, incomplete trades, etc. in such a setting. If trading outside Graal 'sanctioned' trading locations, trade only with players you can trust.

This 'caveat emptor' approach does not mean Scamming is legal, only that it is difficult to prove. If Graal Police witness a scam directly they may punish the offending player. The best way to avoid being scammed is to only trade within secure trading facilities in Graal.

There's enough proof for a staff member to punish rush.

How to Report an Abusing Staff Member
Instead of making threads like this, just email/PM snk, he will read it. Don't make threads about this, it just turns into petty arguments and nobody is going to win, it just becomes one big mess.

I don't see why this was even public in the first place, this all could of been handled quickly and easily over PM.
