After voting/reading the SRR poll, it occurred to me that there are members who have been active (key word) on Sythe for a reasonable amount of time. Specifically in the market section e.g. number of vouches. Why not create a separate sub-forum in each virtual market that requires a 'recognized member' rank to sell his or her goods and services. For example, you could have 3 posts and have accessibility in this sub-forum to bid on any type of account you choose but you can't create a thread to sell your account here. My reasoning for this is the fact that there are non-staff members that I consider as trusted as Video , who would like to sell their accounts, GP, without having to make ridiculous titles such as "[TRUSTED][100 VOUCHES][$1,500 TRADED][2008 MEMBER]" to gain members' attention for their thread. In order to gain permission to make threads in this sub-forum, one would have to meet the list of requirements (in the form of an application) to be granted permission for selling their GP, accounts, membership pins, services, etc. in this sub-forum. Yes, there is priority for those who are granted permission to post in this sub-forum. However, this saves time for the buyer to have a general consensus as to whether or not they should consider trading with this specific member or not. As we're all aware, scamming is always a possibility but this sub-forum will filter shady members from considerably safer, more trustworthy members. Note how the title says 'recognized' and not 'trusted,' there is no guarantee that scamming won't occur. On the other hand, the likelihood of a member who has the privilege to create a topic in this specific sub-forum selling his/her account, gold, etc scamming another member should decrease. This allows the staff to pick and choose whom they feel are reliable, recognized members over others which should deter the percentage of scamming that occurs in general. Certain members that currently have a recognized resume deserve some sort of priority among others as their reliability is already considered higher than the average member. Creating this sub-forum doesn't discriminate against those who currently wouldn't have the privilege to sell their virtual goods and/or services. Rather, it gives those members incentive to continue to follow the rules and become recognized by the community for their integrity and success in the black market forums.
