Black Market

[neschn]

I definately agree with this. I think that is a perfect amount of posts.

I believe that anyone below 200-250 Posts should not be able to post in the Black Market.

I see tons of Leechers and some Active Members posting in the Market and end up scamming people. It's quite obvious as well.

Yes, I may be taking this to a bit of an extreme, but that would certainly cut down on all of the Scamming that occurs on Sythe daily.

Discuss?

I kind of agree..

This would also increase the post count of many of the other great forums.

also, I think people would read more of the stickies this way.

I agree.

I say the rule of thumb should be 125 posts. This is the perfect number for multiple reasons. When someone posts actively for about 3-4 weeks they could achieve this number, thus not deterring members. It's not a short period of time but, a period which many would not want to follow through with. Unless, the user had an elaborate plan to wait for about 2-4 months and attain mass amounts of trust then perform their desired actions of scamming. Anyway, if a member truly wanted to scam they would be able to do it regardless as long as the plan was elaborate. But I do agree and this idea would deter scammers who are looking for a quick fix.

Wonderful idea!

I'd say 150+ Posts, OR over 3 months on the website.

this sounds very fair because if there spamming mods can catch onto it and 3months is good for people who are active but don't post it will surely cut down on lechers scams but idk

I agree with this aswell, it would cut down a lot on the amount of scammers and such.

This suggestion is not only on the do not suggest list, but would not help at all. It would only slow down scammers, not stop them

Slowing them down is a big improvement.

I don't know about plain posting but we shouldn't be allowed to sell until then

I do realize I only have less the 100 posts too

I think it would be better making it to where you have been on sythe for a certain amount of time, have certain amount of DECENT posts and been active for a while.

 

[r4nd0msh1t]

150+ and a certain amount of time sounds good 2 me

 

[MegaMatt]

It would cut down the scamming, but it would also cut down a large fraction of our members and increase spam to increase postcount.

 

[Caution]

But remember allot of the New members are not spammers + scammers so i think it would be greatly unfair to take it away from the members which deserve the Black Market, My point of view though...

 

[kamakazy_kid]

As a frequent Black market user I completely agree, and maybe the earlier join date will give you access if you don't have 200 posts

 

[dotdoubledot]

What about when people want to join to sell accounts like most people do , thats why they join sythe

 

[Trash]

I honestly and respectfully disagree. I started trading accounts as a leecher and have become pretty well at the game. Yes many Leechers are scammers even with me being one of the exception. On top of that either way there will always be scammers in the black market. No matter how long they been a member or post count.

 

[Picnore]

Lets face it, scammers will always scam, no matter how much you try to stop it, they wil scam, raise post count for black market acsses= spamming, need some weeks in sythe before black market allowed, spamers make 10 accounts wait for a couple weeks and use up all the accounts, a ill go first thread? they will probably make other accs and do fake trades for vouches and stuff, there will always be scammers! which sucks! But us good members of sythe have to fend for ourselves.

its the sad truth

 

[n00b sch00l bus]

The time limit as in be a member for a month will not work. That will just cut scamming out for one month and then bam! everyone will be scamming again. The most effective way would be the 200+ post count.

 

[neilyneil]

im not saying im biased,but i dont agree ! i mean why would do this? you can find trusted and untrusted person with below 200 post, so you dont really know whats the persons characteristics after all. I mean this is no good, if you wrote this to lessen the scammers it wont work, people just have to be safe and cautious to who they trading with.

 

[trevor267]

dont use posts, use join dates. most leechers have 500 posts in less than a week anyway so in like 4 hours they could be in the black market. ide use join date

 

[elf5380]

Id say about a month and 100/125+ posts, one month is enough to scare off the minor scammers such as the 13 year olds so it would be a good start

 

[K03d u f4st]

Its a good idea, but when doing this they will just start spamming. Such as useless posts and threads. Increasing the posts and thread unnecessarily and the reporting spammer increasing. It really doesn't stop scammer just delays them. I think another means to stopping it is in order this suggestion is good though,

Edit: Also you have to put into consideration the people who actually come to sythe who want to become trustworthy and starting trading. We can't really penalize newcomers just because certain people want to scam other members. I advise to things Sythe should give MM services for lesser prices, or give them free meaning Viper, Cfrey, etc can MM for free, or at least lower the prices. Overall just use an MM for people who you find fishy, or can't trust.
