Limitation to 'trusted' word

Hey guys, It's my little idea, what do you think about prohibiting/eliminating [TRUSTED] word in threaad titles? It's very often used as false advertising, I dont want to spell names here, but you surely noticed tons of people with 0 vouches ,couple posts who are claiming to be [TRUSTED]. If we got fun ranks for example R2P - Highly Trusted, they only should be allowed to use this as part of their thread titles, as they really deserved this.

 

Even though I use it, i'd support this. However, a lot of high quality traders like Dave/Kevin/HHN/KMJT/Arcus etc would be surely entitled to this rank then, as they are highly trusted. Kevin especially, over 2k vouches in sythe and 5k positive feedback on PA.

 

Agree, maybe people who have over a certain amount of vouches can claim they are trusted or something.

 

Why put unnecessary limitations on the market section? I really doubt that many users who see a thread saying [trusted] automatically think that the user can be trusted. It is a common term among market threads on many forums and would take an unnecessary amount of moderation/time without any real benefit.

 

Agree from me.

 

Perhaps we could have it as a banned word unless you have a certain required amount of vouches? Like 250/500+?

 

If infractions were handed out it'd stop it. You'd have like 2 days to request a title change before they got handed out. It's like 'pin' sales, it soon stopped that problem.

 

It's removed from users threads at staff discretion. If a person seems reasonably trusted, we may leave it, but if it's some random no-name trying to use it, it gets removed if spotted.

 

Could staff favouritism affect this, as someone who had 50 vouches but had donated $100 and knew staff keep it, but someone with 70 vouches but no donor status lose it? I know you'll give the quality of the vouches argument, but if there was a set amount it would stop any bias whatsoever.

 

If you feel favoritism is taking place, just bring it up with multiple staff members so that it gets broader opinion. Mountain out of a molehill.

 

Anyways in my opinion more highly trusted ranks should be added on Sythe and they would be something like "approval" of using [TRUSTED] in thread titles

 

This, there should be a way to apply for "Trusted" when you reach the requirements, but make it easier to get than OMM, but not extremely easy.

 

No support. Trust differs from person to person. Just because someone may not have vouches doesn't mean they are not to be trusted. I feel it's demoralising and unfair to limit users from saying that. I trust people that have 0 vouches on Sythe. In in the end, it's all down to the individual as to whether they trust someone or not.

 

When someones made a trade where they would be held responsible for misconduct they have proven they have been trusted with a certain amount.

I don't see why it needs to be regulated, its not like the term "trusted" makes a big difference in titles considering the vast amount of people who use it. As long as it doesn't say trusted in user titles I don't see the harm. It gives a somewhat false impression but so do many other words used in titles and threads, there is no way to moderate people using "trusted" without biases being involved. Either you remove "trusted" from everyone or you leave it available for everyone to use.

 

It's more of a trading thing, If there are people on sythe with 0 vouches, then why do they even need to have the title trusted?

 

support, most people with trusted in their threads are absolutely not trusted and gay as fuck with zero vouches.


should be an infraction, in my humble opinion.

 

Hopefully people aren't relying solely on seeing the word "trusted" in thread titles when they choose who to trade. Trusted is a very subjective word anyway, but as n4n0 said, staff will remove the word "trusted" from people who are blatantly abusing the word.

I also think the abundance of the word is naturally killing its meaning. The more people who use it in their titles, the lesser value it has. And it shouldn't have value anyway, it's a very opinionated term. I just don't see it as a huge problem, I'd be more annoyed that a 0-voucher is claiming to be trusted not because he's a scam risk but just because his grasp of the English language is so poor

 

This. Just because a user has 100 vouches doesn't mean they can be "Trusted" like it has been said many times, even the most trustworthy person can become a scammer if they decide they want to quit Sythe or just buy out and take off. I have seen users with only 5 vouches but have sold over 20B in gold sales. I would trust them before I trusted some random user with 100 vouches that barely sold 1B.

No support

 

No support make better decisions if you choose to trust someone because they have trusted in there title then your the fool, besides you usually can tell if there trusted or not just look at there vouches and weigh them. If you still choose to use then for anything hey shame on you mate.

 

If it got banned altogether it'd sold the problem don't you think, only the 3 or however many members with the HT rank should be allowed it, and that would solve all problems, as sythe deems them trusted.
