Original Content:

I've read a few threads speaking about a code system or better methods of verification to prevent scams. People are already encouraged to supply a private message during transactions, to document/record everything, and reputable Middlemen. There are many methods to stay secure and make sure the person you're trading is the real person on Sythe.

During the OS Runescape days, I use to be an active member on fagex.net and occasionally used Sythe. I have been around these type of discussion boards for a long time, but the system of black market transactions has never really changed.

Has the Staff administrators ever thought about creating a more prominent system that could be profitable for the website itself? I have a few suggestions about how to improve the site in multiple aspects, but there might already be known reasons these ideas won't work. If there are clear reasons Sythe has not changed after all of these years, I would love to hear them.

I guess the best approach to this is to list out the suggestions with brief explanations.

Sythe Transaction Chat

Create a messaging system for the website that is sort of like a private and secure chat room that can be activated between members. When someone is selling a service or product, a seller can send a trade notification to the buyer based on the forum post. A time and date will be requested by the seller that the purchaser will have to accept then. Once the time is confirmed by both members, they will be sent a private message to a Sythe communications room that can only be accessed by the IP addresses used to accept the transaction date/time.

This system can be modified to different specifications. There are many variables to consider and adjust before actually releasing it.

If the members want to use middlemen, then verified agents on the website will have a list displayed that the two members can scroll through. They will find an available date/time on their schedule, and it will have a biography about the middleman when clicked on. The description of the intermediary will show their referrals, some transactions they have done, the sum of money they have been involved with, and their price for being a middleman. Anything that is relevant to them. This agent's availability can be based on a scheduling system or just an everyday available system where the broker turns on when they're at the computer.

The text in these chat rooms will automatically be logged for future records and saved on the cloud. The middleman or two members can control the room using different features to match the process of the trade. It would be a type of status updater.

The rooms will be used to verify Sythe member identities. Every time a transaction is going to be placed, the members and middlemen will have to check that they're in fact the Sythe user, using their verified email addresses that have been registered to their account for a length of time. An automated message will be sent to their emails with a code which will be used to "verify".

I believe that this system would take a little time to create, and a fool-proof plan would need to be implemented. If the Sythe staff don't know how to implement such a system, they could hire someone to create it securely. Would this be costly? I doubt it would be over $2000. They could most likely find a professional group of developers on freelancers.com or something.

Sythe staff could potentially turn this into profit if they wanted. They would be provided a professional service with much more security than the modern day system of these type of discussion boards. They could charge a flat percentage on every transaction using their system and post their sponsorship's on their new chat system.

Anyway, I have a lot more thoughts on how to improve my suggestion. My system's concept has already been explained, so now I'll leave it to the community and staff to tear it apart with feedback.
