I personally think that people should not be allowed to post "trusted" in their titles UNLESS they are one of the few people that have the trusted rank. Of course people could just check and see how many vouches they have to choose if they are trusted but I just think its pretty annoying to see "____'s Trainning![Trusted]" then having it be some member with 50 post that joined yesterday with one vouch saying "G0t m3 1-5 str! TANKS MAN!!@"
Do not allow "[Trusted]" in titles unless they have the rank

Not really for you to decide, and there are varying levels of trust. For example, when that 50 post count member with 1 vouch says he is trusted in his free skilling thread, then sure he might be trusted enough to be used for free skilling. Obviously if he makes an MM thread trying to MM high value trades and puts trusted, Sythe members will be smart enough to discern that he is full of shit.
No real need to go on a witch hunt in my opinion just because someone makes a title that attracts people to their services ; )

"[trusted]" is just misleading. Of course its up to the buyer of the services to choose if they should trusted or not but I still think it shouldn't be allowed.
Its more of an opinion than anything. If you trust someone soley because it says [TRUSTED] in the thread title, you deserve it.

I tend to ignore the threads with [Trusted] in them. It's more of a put-off.
As I said in my previous post, its not misleading, its just subjective. 50 posts and 1 vouch might seem immensely trusted to a 5 post leecher who is getting free skilling.
Like I said in the other thread, being trusted is subjective to each person. While some people think 300 vouches is trusted, others think vouches are nothing. You're allowed to put whatever you want as the title, but it's up to the traders to decide if a user is really trust worthy, and if not, to use an MM.

Yeah I agree with you. Its misleading because anybody can say they are trusted and basicly have all thier post like random spam and be a really old member which doesn't really mean anything you should be able to earn your trust like some people do

Although I do find it annoying when users proclaim themselves "trusted," there's really nothing you can do about it. They're just trying to attract attention to their service - [Trusted], [Experienced], [Cheap], [HOT!]; if you disallow one tag, they'll come up with another, and most of the time it will be bullshit. I think users should be able to figure out for themselves that they should be weary of anyone who self-proclaims themselves as trustworthy.
Also, there are very few users who have earned the "Highly Trusted" rank, and most of them can simply tag their threads with ex-mod/ex-admin/ex-OMM - they don't really lose out.

Isn't this already against the rules since I've had moderator's multiple times change my thread title's to "Trusted" and they say it's not allowed.

It's not against the rules, at least not to my knowledge.
OT: The "Highly Trusted" rank is there as a fun rank basically. It's not something that you can legitimately earn by following certain requirements, it's only a gift from admins. It shouldn't be used as a marker of actual trust, it simply shows that an admin(s) trust that individual, for whatever reason. It really is at your own discretion whether or not someone is trusted and by simply having the tag [Trusted] shouldn't be enough to mislead someone. If I saw a leecher with 5 posts saying [Trusted] in the thread title, I'm obviously not going to trust them, so how is it misleading? Just use your brain when dealing in the black market. There are lot more important issues to deal with, I think, than a silly tag on a thread title that doesn't do much for the user anyways.
I have 300+ vouches myself, and to be honest, I don't really care about vouches. I don't have a vouch topic, I don't have my vouches organised/numbered or anything.
I've seen so many people with loads of vouches, and even official MiddleMans scam people and end up getting banned.
Being trusted is also relative, Let's say a pin seller with 300 vouches suddenly starts doing fire capes or middlemanning, I wouldn't use that person yet. because his vouches are for something else then what you are hiring him/her for.
or let's say someone has 50 vouches for doing free services.
"huge vouch for ***** he got me 1-15 fishing! great guy" or things like that. tell me, would you risk your account with 100m/no bank pin to them? I personally wouldn't. but if I'd want some account training on my lvl 30 without money/good stats, I'd use them without being afraid of my account.
conclusion: trust is relative, and depends on what someone has been trusted with before.

I don't really see why its a problem.. as said, its just your opinion of the person.
like others have said, It's up to the buyer to decide whether or not the seller is trusted. For instance I use the tag on some of my threads and I have 40+ vouches, someone like finn or skelee may not think I'm "trusted" but most leechers would.Its all up to that person to decide.
What you might think is "Not Trusted" in somebody, someone else might think they are "Trusted" in their eyes, It all in who your trust and who your dont.
So thats why we shouldn't allow it because it all maters what the buyer thinks is "trusted"
