Should Vouches like these be disallowed?

He's selling just 1mil per Sythe account for 25 cents to build up his vouches. Not trying to rip on him or saying he's a scammer but any person with vouches like these can mislead another User and scam him/her.

 

No i think thats fine. People do free training for vouches, so I think its fine.

 

He's simply trying to get somewhere. A vouch is a vouch and he's not requesting people to vouch for them. It's up to individuals who trade with him to discern whether the vouches are actually "good" vouches or not.

 

I believe I can vouch you for having a small penis.
I believe you can vouch for anything, if you want.

 

@blazee: there is a lot of people who do free training yes but most free training jobs take a lot more effort to garner a vouch. It only takes him like 3 minutes to earn the vouch.

@Tmoe: True, but most of the Vouches he recieves don't mention the amount bought but then again they could go the link for the vouch but not all users do this and it can be misleading.

@ChristmasCracker: I may be Asian but bigger then the average one!

 

They should be allowed to vouch, but obviously, when trading with someone. Its not really the number of vouches, its the quality of them and how much they've traded. Thats perspective on it.

 

Doesn't really matter if they mention they bought. (If people read the thread/posts they'll notice it was 1mil)

I've vouched multiple people on the site for simply knowing them. Did I do any transactions with them? No. Do I trust them more then I trust anyone else on this site? Yes.

What people are allowed to vouch for won't be restricted, but if you do in fact see a fake vouch; simply report it and a moderator will take care of it.

 

Ironically, that person is now banned.

 

It's up to everyone to interpret everyone's post count, and vouches to come to the end result of how trustworthy the person is or isn't.

As of now a vouch is just a sign of a completed trade, it's up to you to decide how much trust you should give the person.

 

Well, at least is better than doing free tutorials for vouches.

It's up to who trades later with the person if they count those vouches towards his reputation to trust him or not.

 

I don't really see a problem with it. I started w/ quests/training to get my name out there, and look at me now. You have to start somewhere.

 

I agree I gave free rs tut accounts out to begin my rep and it worked just remember when your trading someone look at the vouch and figure out how much they were really trusted with, with each vouch

 

In the end its up to each person to decide what those vouches are worth, when i do trades i don't just look at the quantity of vouches -- if they expect me to go first in a trade, they have better handled more cash than I have with a variety of people, otherwise their vouches hold no merit to me.

My vouches for example -- first 5 were all small trades, we all start somewhere, but from there you see i am on a variety of maxed accounts doing dg without any problems. You cant expect people to just start out at $100 trades.

 

Yeah, I agree. Vouches are given for free services. Mine as well be given if the vouch is legit for 25 cents. >.<

 

There isn't really a set standard for a vouch. If someone completes a transaction with someone else and they're both satisfied, they're allowed to vouch each other. His buyers aren't *required* to vouch for him, they just can if they want. While it does seem like a somewhat shady tactic to gain artificial trust, anyone that clicks his vouches will see that, and ironically it will probably make him even less trusted.

 

Vouches are merely a number. If the person who they are trading is stupid enough not to read their vouches then they need to learn. People should never determine trust by the number of vouches someone has. I see no issue with someone doing this.

 

As others have said, always actually click the persons link and read through the vouches. A single vouch doesn't have a certain value, so that a person with 30 vouches has the identical trust of another member with 30 vouches as well. ALWAYS read through the vouches, ensure that the vouches are for decent amounts, for the section of trading that you are dealing in, and that the number of vouches displayed is true. It's up you to determine there trust.

 

Its on the trader to make sure the persons vouches are reputable.
