Oo, look at me, i'm a donator so i'm instantly trusted

As the title says, in the marketplace I believe that Middlemen shouldn't be allowed to use "Trusted" in their title, sorely because they have donated $5. I find it quite stupid that they think because they donated to sythe, they are instantly trustworthy.

Post your views.

 

Middlemen aren't trusted because they've donated $5... They're trusted because they have a lot of vouches..

 

You obviously haven't seen the Middlemen section then. Alot of people post in their titles that they are "Trusted" when they have like 1-2 trades, and because of their "donation" to sythe, they think that makes them even more trusted.

 

If you don't believe they're trusted don't use them, people aren't going to automatically put their trust into a leecher if he's donated $5.

 

People put [trusted][donator] etc.

Do you not understand business or marketing at all? This is not intended to be a flame but it is 100% self explanatory.

Your title needs to STAND OUT compared to everyone elses. You need to sell yourself on paper (your title) before they even read the rest. There is no rule "I donated so I'm trusted". If people wish to consider themselves trusted then just let them think that. You should hold your own opinion on who's trusted and who's not and stick to it.


(I don't see the suggestion here though)

 

Fair call, but to prove my point... And if this is against any sythe rules, please tell me.

http://www.sythe.org/showthread.php?t=866059 <-- A user that is so called "Trusted" now banned. Also there are TWC users who MM that use the title "Trusted." I just don't think that it should be allowed.

 

This coming from a Middleman who has a TWC title? I just don't see it fit. And this isn't a business you are applying for, it should be to help. At a business you make money, on sythe the only Middlemen who actually make real cash, are the officials.

 

You need to MM other trades to become an OMM...

 

Yes, you do. Good job for working that out. But you don't need to "sell yourself to sythe" by using a title you donated for as an excuse for being trusted.

 

If I were you I would do some research before you point out my TwC. Learn what it was given for. Let me just prove you wrong really quick.

To start it off I am more trusted than you, umad?


1) Being trusted is what you deem yourself.
2) It is an internship in all reality which is what businesses use.
3) The MM who best advertises himself gets the most MM's and becomes an OMM
4) No one says I'm a donator trust me, please show me if I'm wrong

Let them think as they wish at the end of the day its who you think is trusted weather its because they are a donator or not.

Trust every one, just dont trust the devil in side them!

 

Let me just say that trust is not universal. A rank on a forum does not define trust. Hell I can set you up a forum right now and give you a "Incredibly super trusted - 5000" rank.

What defines trust is how much you trust the person...not the rank, thread title, any of that.

So I think what YOU need to do is redefine the explanation of trust. Anyone can say trusted. Their mother must trust them, yes?

 

I don't want to be a MM, nor do I want to. Also, I am not mad, that you think you are more trusted.
1) Quite true.
2) But you aren't working for, nor a running a "Middlemen buisness"

3)So you are only Middlemanning to get Official? That seems quite fishy.
4)But you are a donator, look under your name.

Agreed. But I still think that some people use their title as an excuse.

Let me define trust then. Trust is one user believing that another user who is going to do them a favour, won't steal from them and that they will do exactly what they say.

I believe that some people do infact believe that based on somebody's thread name, is exactly what they are. It's just a suggestion, nothing more, nothing less.

 

Do you honestly think people middleman out of the kindness of their hearts? They do it for the cash, the main benefit of becoming one.

 

your all gay, just my opinion

 

Every single free MM is MMing to become an OMM. Please explain how that is fishy.

So if someone has "sexy" in their topic title they are claiming to be trusted due to the fact that they are sexy? Your logic just lacks common sense. And bringing up the definition of business does not apply due to one simple fact. This is the interwebz brah. Arguing with you is like arguing with a 10 year old, common sense is not allowed.

 

What's to say that some people are just Middlemanning to help other users out? Are you saying that there isn't a single person on this forum who would do that?

Post reported, way off topic and immature.

If you are saying I have no common sense, you are wrong. I don't think every single Middleman is out there for a financial gain. They may not have started Middlemanning yet, but there would have to be some people out there.

How does somebody having the title "Sexy" related to "Trusted Donator" in a thread title?

Bringing up the definition of a business shows that a business is a place that you expect to make cash out of, whereas charities are out there to help people without expecting cash.

 

I do make cash from MMing. Does that make me a business? Find me one thread where they say [trusted donator]

I see [trusted][donator]

That is simply stating that they consider themselves trusted and that they have donated.

 

You still haven't seen the point. You've completely missed it. When does the fact that you donated to sythe, make you more respected and more "trustworthy" to Middleman? Because you donated to the site you must be more trusted then others? Sure, if you get like 5-10 or even more vouches, change your thread name, but just because you have donated, doesn't mean you should have the need to put it in your title.

 

No, you have missed the point. You can look at this two ways:

First way: People put [donator] in their title to CATCH EYES.

[30+ vouches]Glasal's free MMing thread
[30+ Vouches[Donator]Glasal's Free MMing Thread

Idk about you but the donator catches my eyes for two reasons.

More brackets make it stand out

Also it is longer

Second way:

They try to fill it up to not make their title look as pathetic as others

For example:
.:.[Head Middleman/Administrator] Finn's Official Middlemanning [Highly Respected].:.

Chriscross23's Free MM thread

Finn's looks much more professional and makes Finn look like a better MM.
