Slight change to OMM applications

Why do OMM's have to show proof of less than $50 mm trades when they have done above and beyond the mount in higher tier MM. Most of the time people dont need help with less than $50 trades and only contact a middleman if it's a larger trade.

Lists of trades required to apply for OMM:

5 trades for anything up to $50*.
5 trades for anything between $50 and $100*.
5 trades for anything at or over $100*.
3 trades for anything at or over $200*.
1 trade for anything at or over $350*.
1 trade for anything at or over $550*.

I don't understand why someone can't do six $550+ trades total, and have five count towards "anything up to $50" and one count towards the $550+

From my understanding MM's don't get asked to often for these type of smaller trades, and I believe that the larger MMs should count towards those requirements, just as long as it is only counted once during the whole process of the application.

I may update this thread later and explain it more detail when I get the chance. If you got any questions ask please, I made this thread quickly and just wanted to get the point across. Hopefully yall understand what I mean.

 

I honestly think the entire rank should just be removed, it's literally pointless.
Basically fake trust, if i'm not going to be refunded if they scam me or something special then honestly what's the point of the title

 

That's the bare minimum that we have in place. When I got OMM back in 2010, I had less smaller trades and more bigger trades as part of my application. As far as I'm aware you can end up having 20 $550+ trades but those trades outlined in the application are just bare minimum requirements.

 

There's a due process to it. Each OMM has to be voted on by existing OMMs, staff, etc. Definitely more trustworthy than a normal member. The example of being refunded is irrelevant, even if you're scammed by Richard himself you won't be refunded.

 

OMM Scamming?
I can just imagine the people that were scammed,
"Huh, he was an OMM why would he scam"
Staff: "uhhh ye haha that title actually means fuck all"

 

Those figures represent a minimum value requirement. Any trade that is $500 can be used to fulfil the $50 requirement; however, they tend to fill the higher requirements. It is meant to have a diversified requirements and so that smaller trades aren't a "waste of time" per-say.

I will update the sticky with a little * so this is made clear. Can you PM exactly what areas need to be updated @str8 d a n k ?

Also, Str8 I locked this on the pretense I answered your question; if I didn't, report this thread and I or another staff member will reopen it.

Edit: The title means the user has gone through at least one OMM application and staff team found them to be trusted enough to hold the title of an OMM. The rank is not easy to achieve and is far from useless.

 

Feel free to PM me with any additional questions.
