TWC's linking to reason?

I think the TWC's should link to the reason (report, post, whatever) they were given for... No more wondering if this dude is legit or not.

Whether this is implemented starting now or they change all (Slightly unreasonable) I think this should be established.

Not the same as a ban reason for sure...

If this can be established I think it would be a great idea. Not to pick on people, but in my eyes people who get TWC for different reasons are respected differently.

If it's for someone like Ulti Not, FireZ or people who got their MSN hacked but didn't hack themselves are generally higher in my eyes then someone who backs out when an OMM arrives, or acts very fishy.

 

TWC is just a standard sign overall, regardless of the reason. It only makes buyers/sellers better precautions when trading.

I don't support.

 

I actually like this idea. I definitely support this.

It would be a good way to inform newer users what a person has done to deserve their TWC. Whether it be for a hacked MSN/Sythe, Backing out of a trade, or just suspicious behavior overall.

 

Exactly. If this could be worked out, It would allow traders to quickly identify people that could and should still be given the same amount of trust, regardless of they're TWC.

 

People often put why they have a TWC in their signature. As well, there isn't always a thread for the reason.

I believe the ranks are based off a Usergroup system in the ACP. Saying that, the rank is for everyone.. It would be a complete pain to go into each individual person and edit a thread link within the picture code. Admins have much better things to do with their time then making loads of usergroups, hyper-linking threads into TWCs. People can spend 5 minutes of their time looking it up themselves.
This really isn't even plausible.

No from me.

 

But there are so many reasons why they are given out... Some people are hacked, some are suspected scammer... It allows traders to identify when doing deals.

 

People can look it up ._.

 

I like this idea, too. The way we perform TWC requests now, I don't think we have track of the reasoning. However, I think in the future we can definitely keep track better and make a public list. However, we cannot link the usergroup image or have a link in their signature, but we definitely can have a public list of the TWCs and their reasons.

For some reasons, we will have to put "suspicious activity" rather than a fully substantiated reason. This will be because we don't want to reveal some methods we have of finding potential scammers.

 

Thanks for your opponion, I agree with what you said about the methods

 

Well, it could be a simple pop up. Just click on the TWC image, a pop up appears giving the reason.

OR maybe that might be too hard/workloaded to implement.

 

Exactly. This would mean more work for the staff, while the scam report section is always a mess and needs help with.

 

I support, if you could make the picture have a link to the TWC thread, I think it would be perfect, and easily implementable.

Great Idea!

 

?.. This doesn't change anything..?

Posts like this annoy me.

Could you please provide knowledge about this? From my experience it would be quite the pain in the ass.

 

I agree with tmoe here...

I'd personally prefer to have it lead to a thread or post.

 

Ok, here's the problem.

There's a usergroup called "TWC"
When an individual is moved into this usergroup they receive the TWC rank. (This is for efficiency and makes it quite easy to give/remove ranks etc.)
Ranks aren't given out individual which makes it very implausible to try and hyperlink a thread within a TWC image ranks would have to be given out signally and not by usergroups.

Note: This is my understanding, I could be wrong.

 

You didn't quote me fully. I stated that where you have the picture of a rank, you could simply add a html link code to it, which would direct you to a thread elucidating the reason of the TWC.

How is my post annoying, I stated that I support, I suggested how it could be implemented. At least quote me fully next time.

 

There was no reason to quote you fully if I wasn't talking about the beginning of the post. You simply posted that it would be easily implementable without stating anything that could back that up.
If you read my above post(s) ranks aren't given out individually, but by user-groups (from my understanding.)

 

I imagine that It wouldn't be hard for GM's or admins to figure this out...

 

GM's don't have access, it's ACP (Admin Control Panel) which controls usergroups. It's not that this is hard, but that it isn't time efficient when an individual can spend 5 minutes of their own time to find out the reason. Or if anything, simply ask the person they're about to trade with.
