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

I've seen a few threads lately where in the thread title they advertise that they are "CDT/PR" which is clearly the person trying to use their position in said role to gain some kind of trust.

If being a member of CDT/PR is seen as any kind of trust symbol that is going to make scam quitting a lot more tempting/easier for a lot of people.

Back in 2013 when I was fairly new I got MOTM and I had advertised it in my thread titles and didn't know better but was quickly shut down because things like MOTM and CDT are not roles of trust. You shouldn't be misleading newer members into thinking just because you have a shiny badge that says CDT means you're more trusted than someone who doesn't have one.

 

Thanks for messaging me on Discord, I appreciate it (even if it is almost 4AM)

I would like to mention 2 things here:

1) If people should not allowed to use it in their titles why should they be allowed to use it in their threads?

example image here:



2) Should this also mean things like "Member of the Year" and "Biggest Postwhore of the Year" should also not be allowed to be used as a form of trust, I understand if you are voted Most Trustworthy of 2018 but Member of the Year certainly shouldn't be allowed to be used as a form of trust

 

I don't think anything that doesn't actually put you in an actual position of trust with monetary value (e.g OMM) should be allowed to be advertised. I understand that some moderators/ex moderators should be allowed to advertise as such because at times I was holding $2k+ for scam repayments although I'm happy to remove it from my threads if it means CDT/PR is also removed.

 

Well, CDT and PR are officially run groups, right?
They're individuals given a responsibility within Sythe and represent Sythe in various places.
They're being trusted, with that responsibility.

If I had my way, it'd be against the rules to put any type of role/rank in your threads and their titles.
I doubt that would ever happen, but it is my opinion that the only true form of a 'trusted' rank would be a rank in which if they were to scam you, a responsible party, in this case Sythe itself, would take liability for that user and their actions and compensate for any scams or losses due to that.

 

I can understand where you are coming from.

I am not disagreeing with you at all. I'm just saying that if they aren't allowed to put it in their titles then they shouldn't be allowed to put it in their threads and member of the year should definitely not be used as a form of trust.

I understand that CDT leaders are put into a position of trust as they do hold money for events (including sponsorships) however even CDT leader position can be abused, just take a look at this guy Paper Shark

 

Who even uses CDT in their titles of their threads lmao?

This isn't even a rhetorical question i'm genuinely curious.

 

CDT/PR are NOT signs of trust, but what it does show is dedication towards a site. The badge shows voluntary work dedicated by us to the site, why would we not be able to display this? We put in work, can we not be credited and be allowed to advertise that?
Displaying your rank in your advertisement should 100% be allowed, just like you said yourself chloe, being on staff doesn't mean you're trusted, but as you can see most / every staff member have it in their advertisements.



you have ex-global in your title, you've said that staff are not trusted, so you're given false hope/misrepresentation here.

Once again, you're advertising an achievement.

Who cares about what goes in someones title as long as its true? Take that title and form your own opinions on how "trusted" it makes someone.

 

No support whatsoever to this or any suggestions you have made on this thread.


Why is [TRUSTED] allowed in titles?

That should be removed.

Why are sectional moderators allowed to put [MOD] in their title; many have shown significantly less trust than regular members.

Why are ex-staff alllowed to put that in their title? They are no longer staff; just because they once were doesn't mean they should be able to.

ALSO, thanks for calling me out- I have never once put in ANY TITLE of any thread of mine about PR or CDT.

Also; if you're going to target tags people put in their thread titles; these should all be removed:

1. [TRUSTED]
2. [PROFESSIONAL]
3. [DONOR]
4. [CEO of Tesla]
5. [No longer Global Admin on Dead Discord]
6. [Admin of random discord]
7. [Ex-Staff]
8. [Ex-Admin]
9. [Ex-Mod]

What you are suggesting, should be applied to everything.

Listing your achievements in a thread is acceptable.

 

Good point Mumble.

Give me one example of someone who uses CR / PDT in their THREAD TITLE itself @Seraphic @Management @Jesus07

 

CDT/PR are technically staff as we are employeed to work on the site/host events for the site, even tho there isn’t any monetary gain, you can look at it as experience gained.
Definition of staff “all the people employeed by a particular organization” CDT/PR/TC work for Sythe as do mods

 

Haha what. No, you are not 'technically staff', such as Mods.

 

Can you express why

Edit* you will probably be interpreting staff as a role of power, which it’s not.

Here you go.

Staff is a role of power, they have access to people's full IPs, emails, and an array of other things.

Also as I said, I'm more than happy to remove ex-mod from my title if this is put into place. Although I was trusted with a significant amount of money while I was mod for the scam repayment events. CDT members are not trusted with anything other than a shiny badge.

 

There are a plethora of reasons, but I'll outline a few below.

1. Community teams are far, far, far easier to be accepted into, than being promoted to a position of staff is.
2. Staff members handle far more pertinent issues, opposed to that of community team members.
3. Staff have access to crucial personal information.
4. Staff actually do maintain a position of power - i.e, banning people, power to vote on pardons, anti-scams, and so on...there are many other elements.
5. The level of scrutiny once faces from the staff team prior to being accepted is not even a conversation point within community teams.

The distinction between community teams and staff members to me, and I'm sure countless others is quite obvious and evident.

Also, to note, I was in the CDT for 2 years, and similarly, I was on staff for around 2-3 years. So, my perspective envelopes both aspects of said positions.

If you want me to outline anything further, hit me up.

 

I think CDT/PR members should be allowed to have [CDT]/[PR] in their titles, its hardly a compensation for the work that they do for the community.
And yes, I would argue that someone who volunteers their time and efforts for the community is more trusted than the average joe.

It's up to the other trader to do their due diligence, just like anything on this website.

I'd like to also mention that I have no issues with any of the users that I have posted above. I have merely posted these threads to show that [CDT] has been used in the title.

What are you trying to even achieve by tagging me? Also I don't see where Jesus07 is relevant in this post.

I understand you can keep trolling and thinking you're funny in the suggestion forums but please, if you want to continue trolling take it to the Spam Forums, I've even linked it here for you:
