We never had a need to monitor them before. Most people have enough courtesy to respect the staff and their fellow players, however this has changed.
I think from now on I will announce the auctions the same but will make mention in the posts that to outbid you must pm me (or whoever is auctioning them) and have the gold readily available in your bank so that it can be verified. Once I verify the authenticity of the bid I will will update the post on the static. This seems like the only way to make sure no childish lies waste my time anymore. I wish it didn't have to be this way as I liked the idea of player interaction without the need of staff but apparently I have become a babysitter:doubt:
