[APPROVED] People shouldn't be allowed to use CDT/PR as a sign of trust

It is because it shows the user was vetted to at least a moderate degree. Anything that comes with a rank inherently is a sign of trust whether intentional or not.

 

Back when I was in CDT/PR, it was actually a rule in the stickied thread that you had to read and agree to upon joining that you couldn't use such titles in threads etc. and I still don't think users should be using them for the reasons mentioned throughout this thread.

 

I can see you didn't read any replies I gave, you should delete your post because it's complete spam.
I linked a thread on the first page of someone using it.
Nice DNT btw.

 

I agree with Chloe's proposal.

Reasoning - Bolt.

 

bolt did not have PR in his titles so your reasoning is invalid.

 

Name of thread - People shouldn't be allowed to use CDT/PR as a sign of trust

Bolt - was CDT

Logic - there

my comment - over your head?

 

boolean shouldYouBeAllowedToUseCDTOrPRInThreadTitles = Do you need trust to get either of these ranks ? true : false;

I think you shouldYouBeAllowedToUseCDTOrPRInThreadTitles ? "should" : "should not" be able to use CDT / PR in your thread titles.

 

How did bolt use CDT/PR as a sign of trust? How does CDT/PR represent any sign of "trust" don't say funrank, because the funrank says "PR team" no " highly trusted". These funranks hold no value to them other than a statement of which team we represent.

 

i agree with beast. Bolt was able to scam beecause he had established himself as a trusted trader, if he didnt have as many trades and just the pr rank i dont think it would have went down the same way. PR rank and being a trusted trader are 2 very different things

 

Agreed


I know some of these people here commenting don't understand the impact that bolt had on Discord Trading servers. Bolt was manging a server with 2100+people that this rank was given to him by @Champ and @King , they put their trust into bolt to run the server and bolt did what he did. This is not about some PR rank or funrank, it is about his position he had within the community, its sad he went out the way he did, but you can't assume its because of a damn funrank, that is just blatant stupidity to think a funrank has an impact on the "trust" level. Also if the argument is that newcomers don't know what funranks mean and they perceive it as "trusted" for the example of bolt, how many newcomers were scammed? vs members?

 

If the ranks aren't a sign of trust then why are they used in threads titles next to the rest of the things people use as a sign of trust? And if they aren't a sign of trust then why would it matter if you aren't allowed to use it as a sign of trust? Lol, pretty obvious that it is a sign of trust and is used as such and so the question is should that be allowed. That's what should be discussed here.

Ternary operators are dope.

 

A rank can show dedication, someone must put in a bit of time to be offered a rank, however for example, if i was going to be buying something and beast and crazypipe both commented offering to sell me it i would go with crazypipe everytime, he is known for trading thats what he does. somebody with a rank doesnt become instantly trusted in my book. alot of people spend there free time on forums, if they have never done a trade i would look at them just like a user that posts alot.

 

Accomplishment, activity, and pride of being apart of a community team. Not everything is about Trust when you're marketing yourself.

 

As Andy said - "If the ranks aren't a sign of trust then why are they used in threads titles next to the rest of the things people use as a sign of trust?"

There should be no need for it in the title, considering they are trying to use it as a sign of trust. Just like if I put [10 Year Member][$200+ Donator] Selling Maxed Melee Staker!

Besides, my only comment was pointing out how you were wrong in thinking this thread was solely PR, saying "Bolt never had PR in his thread titles." Which I *never* said..

edit - regardless, I respect everyones opinions and whatnot. I just believe that PR/CDT/TC should not be allowed to put those things in a title or a thread selling anything. I agree it SHOUDN'T be seen as a sign of trust. So let's not even allow that possibility of people maybe thinking it is trust. Just don't allow it and there is no gray area of misunderstanding.

 

No what i think you're wrong about is saying bolt used "PR/CDT" as a sign of trust. what if i put [Fatfuck] or [onysythe10hoursaday] [cheap] [fast] is this marketing myself as trustworthy?

 

If you don't get to put it in the title, you shouldn't be able to have a rank, it should be a temporary minirank.

 

That's what I am saying, we shouldn't allow any of those things in thread titles. Obviously no one uses [fatfuck] or [avid sythe user]. People only put things in there that makes them seem more appealing.

If he DIDN'T use CDT as a sign of trust/value, wtf do you think he was putting it in his threads for? He is just a sole example, of course. Who ended up scam quitting - of course an anomaly.

 

This is the dumbest suggestion I've ever read, even coming from Sythe's biggest whore.

Admins shouldn't be able to use their ranks either as a sign of trust because Finn was a faggot and Penn scamquit. It's almost as if there's no correlation between what you put in your title and whether you're trusted or not, it just has to do with how shitty your financial situation is and how little money you're making from Sythe.org

Someone will scamquit if they're inactive on the site and not generating enough revenue from it, even OMM's.

 

And like Nate had said - "rule in the stickied thread that you had to read and agree to upon joining that you couldn't use such titles in threads etc."

I assume this rule is no longer in effect. I am not advocating heavily for a rule change or anything. I am just glad we are having a discussion about it. It promotes growth and positive change. New ideas and discussion are always good.
