So this is not exactly my original idea and it might be found as a pain in the ass, but it might be a way of improving buyer and seller security when doing discussions on external messengers - especially with all the Skype security loopholes!
1. To improve security after adding someone on the external messenger, have a random number generated in PM on Sythe.
2. The clients must confirm the random number and have a screenshot of it to continue. If this is not confirmed/screenshot and a scam occurs, it is automatically omitted.
->This will save time for moderators as well - someone would have to have access to both the hijacked Skype AND the user's account for the scam to take place. On the flip side, if the numbers are confirmed and a scam takes place, it CONFIRMS that the persons are whom they say they are.
3. Random number button could possibly be implemented as a confirmation button? I.E.: 3rd button next to Submit Message/Preview Message so that it's easily sent out and sender gets the number readout as soon as they click the button. Other user receives a PM and sends that back on the external messenger.
**NOTE** This can obviously be done just by sending a PM to the user with a number created on a random number generator, but we already have the [..DICE] command implemented - would this not work for the same thing? And the number should be a minimum of 3 digits, but could be up to 10 (for trackings sake!). **NOTE**
Just a thought that has been floating through my head recently. Feel free to discuss/shoot it down.
