    Well if we were trading and that were the case, I would have you review the circumstances under which I got this TWC. Hopefully, you would realize that it was not something extremely malicious, but rather a relatively small issue in which nobody was harmed and which I admitted to myself without any external pressure.

    TWC's are pretty relative. Some are well deserved, others not so much.

    Anyway, combine that with my post count and the fact that I have near 100 vouches I think I'm in a pretty good position to be traded with.

    I was joking, mate. Besides, if the TWC was requested like some for a past scam, I'd totally trust them (most of the time) because they're honest enough to man up and receive their punishment. :\

    My main indicators are quality of vouches, and any rank that they have. There are a handful of people on here with over 1000 posts who I've refused to trade with due to lack of trust.

    Not for me, no.

    I always check their vouches, then I search their name to see if there is any scam reports.

    And ofcourse, I'll check their MSN to see if their vading!

    I check their vouches, ranks and post counts. People can get get post count up easily.

    The posts DOES give a little, but if you have no vouches then they're quite pointless.. Like myself, I do love posting on threads and being like really active. I also like to have high postcount, and it does help a little as told before :)

    based on this, it seems its a 50/50 split...though you're right, Firez, post count means nothing anymore. :\

    Only because people with a high postcount get caught scamming and ruin it for the rest.

    It shouldn't count towards trades at all. A person being helpful is in no way a gauge of how trustworthy they are. Look at vouches more than anything.

    Yes, but some more in-experienced or completely new traders might lean on: Well, more post count+wutisavouch+newer join date so might know how to help me=their thoughts (most likely). So, I've decided that it's all on experience. Unless you're just fucking stupid.
