The problem:
1. Moderators guess about the situation or make a decision which is based on magic.
2. Sellers with many many vouches get banned for few dollar deals even though no valid proof is given.
3. Many ban requests are granted, even if they seem really fishy and questionable.
4. Sometimes sellers get banned even if there is no valid proof about the deal (no login information provided, no proof about the fact that the exact login information does not work)
5. Sellers can't defend themselves, which means they get see the ban when they wake up, and then they can only go to dispute section... Loose time, loose money, loose prestige.
Conclusion: users, who joined yesterday, have more rights than sellers, who created their business few years ago and collected many vouches.
Suggestion:
1. Create system of "Valid Proof": no more screenshots which can be found anywhere on the internet and does not represent the deal. If user states that his account got disabled/retrieved/exploded/destroyed - he has to prove the fact that it is the one which was given by the seller, not the RANDOM one.
2. If trustworthy sellers get reported for low value deals - he is asked to explain the situation in the scam report thread.
3. If trustworthy seller has at least 2 reports on him at the same time - his thread gets closed, he looses the ability to open new one, he gets the title "User is being investigated". However he still can explain himself in the scam report thread.
4. "Trustworthy" status is given by the moderator team, so they would decide if the user has made enough deals and for the right amount of money in order to get this.
5. Trustworthy seller gets banned only when the evidence is indisputable.
6. Video proof is part of "indisputable". You know those MSN screens, steam account screens and so on... They are so easy to fake. I bet you all know Photoshop, I bet changing few letters is not so hard right? How can you ban people then?
Do anything, but make some place for people who are legit, who try to do serious business. Everybody faces up with some problems, sometimes it can be just a simple misunderstanding. I know that my suggestion would take more time from modes, that it would make all that ban process harder, but, seriously, do you want to BAN, or do you want to do justice? These are two different things... Banhammer is way to easy to overuse, and many are doing this. TOO many.
