    Gurus? Read!

    This is fucking ridiculous. Im sick of noobs with join dates of less than a month ago or 2 months being gurus, because they will go thread to thread posting "Nice!!" "Gj!!", or someother bullshit. I think guru should be a appointed position, such as moderator, BUT not close to moderator at all. Everyone on this site trusts gurus, but considering that MORE THAN HALF OF THEM are spammers and noobs, they will just scam.


    Summary:
    Guru Appointed by moderator.

    So, you're basically saying I am a scammer? And a spammer? Oh, really? Let me guess, you got scammed by ONE guru, so your perspective of EVERYONE has changed. Find me more than 20 guru's. The only one I find to have a little to many posts is +love+ and she atleast makes useful points in her posts, so you can't call it spam.

    It's not like there is an excessive amount of Gurus on this site, so why complain about the few there are? Maybe you shouldn't trust by post count, which you obviously do. And sorry if I say, but I think you're trying to get Guru by your join date, instead of making legit posts and helping people.

    Theres my two cents.

    This is a useless suggestion. Does it honestly matter what it says under your username? If someone trusts another based on their user title, then that person didn't follow the necessary procedures to be safe during a trade.

    This is a useless point. If someone has a join really late and is a guru, does it matter? Only thing that matters is if their posts were helpful or spam.

    It doesn't matter to me if you have high or low post count. And I am not stupid enough to trust someone just because they have 1k+ post counts. Of course I will check whether they are spamming or not. Almost I always check if they are legit. So beat it... only fools falls for it trusting spammers.

    Do not support. Post count and rank whatever doesn't and shouldn't determine if someone is trusted. Also, not everyone trusts guru's on this site because I sure don't. I guess you're trying to speak for them black market folks. Either way, rank + post count does not equal trust and not every spammer is a scammer.

    you mean posts?

    i dont think this is a good idea at all.. you should check join date before trading anyway..

    the only thing i hate is when gurus make me go first, just because they got 1k posts in a month

    "Guru" is a post-count rank. It has no other special implications.
