[DENIED] Stop vouch farming/vouch template

[ShawnIsThaBeast]

i never force anyone to vouch for me i just ask them if they can’t 80% of people never leave it... hence that’s why some legit sellers lack them.. if you offer good services people will come back

Yea people skip the vouch for me as well, even have middleman vouches that aren’t there. It sucks when it comes to the mm vouches because then it’s even harder to become an OMM

Should make a section on this forum dedicated to educating new users of all possible scams and how to minimize the likelyhood of being scammed. Use examples of what these people (floppy) and these vouch farmers have done to educate people. Stickies dont cut it we need a whole section dedicated to this especially considering people have been getting scammed on here for over a decade

 

I’ll have to disagree with this because I don’t think it’s fair for new users & or anyone actively trying to join the community / make a name for themselves.
I don’t think the intentions of the mentioned users was to farm vouches & than just scam quit, my reasoning to that is I know sticktalk had an actual service company & I believe bezos did as well?
Vouches shouldn’t be controlled so strictly & also shouldn’t be “admired” the way they are, because at the end of the day you never know what that persons intentions are.
I think it’s important to stress to newcomers & everyone trading, to just practice safe trading & to use a middleman when in doubt (yes I’m aware middleman can scam as well but I believe you have a lower chance especially if it’s one that is “backed” by Sythe.org)

 

Implementing something like this would make gaining reputation on the site nearly impossible for new users. Further, a vouch template, while nice in theory, would be difficult to enforce.

This has been denied.
