My suggestion is to not allow anyone to use the phrase "Trusted" in their black market threads. I endlessly see people in the black market posting "[PAYPAL][TRUSTED]Selling blah blah!-!" and I go on to look and its some kid with five vouches claiming to be trusted. I believe it is very misleading because personally I check out the thread to see if in fact the user is trusted because I'd rather trade with someone who is truly trusted.
I quickly did a search on the word [TRUSTED] and it came up with:
Showing results 1 to 50 of 200
So I just clicked two to see how they are "Trusted" and I find they "Have 3 vouches in profile"
FAQ's:
What do you expect us to do?
Add a rule to the black market which states the use of "Trusted" or anything related to that will be the result of a Post lock/Infraction/Ban if the problem continues.
Why would this help?
Its pretty proven that if a post contains "TRUSTED" in the title more people will view it because they believe he is trusted thus makes them feel safe enough to buy. And our not so smart members don't bother to ask why hes trusted and the result is them getting scammed. This would stop the use of that and maybe lower the scams a percent or two.(Not a lot but its better than nothing.)
Its not that big of a deal, why should we make a rule it means more work for us?
Because every little thing helps in this community. And eventually people will get that the use of "TRUSTED" is not allowed and actions will be taken against them.
