Post count does not matter?

[Diablov1]

Actually, if a scammer just spams for post count, you can see the average posts a day... like 25 to 100 posts/day = scammer, IMO. But 700+ posts with like 1 to 3 posts a day is USUALLY legit.

I agree, I see a couple sythe members with 500ish posts in one month. Thats insane. I trust those people less.

Once in the past i've seen someone with several hundred posts in a matter of days.

So are you calling me a scammer?

No >:X

I'm saying that scammers can take advantage of the trust that's apparently associated with post count.

Example: If you(gohanforever) decided you wanted to scam another member, you wouldn't have to wait long at all, because some members,new ones in particular, deem post count trustworthy.

It doesn't matter whether they have 4,000 posts or 400 vouches, someone can still scam if they are fed up with Sythe and the price is right.

I know. Regardless of post count, join date and vouches, every user has the potential to scam.

However, chances that you will be scammed with someone who has 2000 posts, 90 vouches are less then that of someone with 2000 posts and 0 vouches.

In fact, as soon as a member has a first good vouch(account sale, gp), chances that you'll be scammed by that person dramatically decrease.

Once in the past i've seen someone with several hundred posts in a matter of days.

Not accusing said person of being a scammer/going-to scam, but this is what typically does happen when scammers are involved.

I use the post count to join date ratio and vouches along with what the vouches were for, like a vouch for completing someones tut island isn't as good as having a gold shop and selling lots of mills, it also depends on how the person acts.

Having vouches is one thing, the quality of them is another.

As you've mentioned, I wouldn't even consider someone who's vouches consist of the likes of "free tutorial islands" or "free names".

MMing, account sales and gp are the types of vouches that should be considered.

Actually, if a scammer just spams for post count, you can see the average posts a day... like 25 to 100 posts/day = scammer, IMO. But 700+ posts with like 1 to 3 posts a day is USUALLY legit.

Unfortunately, the majority of sythe's members don't tend to consider the amount of time the posts were accumulated in. They focus on the number when they're judging trustworthiness via posts.

Given the fact that a guru scammed me I think it doesn't.

 

That's because anyone can scam you on here. Trade at your own risk.

Post count dosen't matter, there's legit people who may just be inactive on the forum. I have low post count but it dosen't make me a scammer and your post count dosen't make you legit. Which is why every trade should have an MM .

You remind me of someone... Hmm...

OT: I think that post count does matter in a way. I wouldn't trust someone solely on post count or on vouches as both can easily be achieved. It's hard to actually tell who is trustworthy and who isn't because a lot of the trustworthy people don't even use the Blackmarket.

Personally, I look at vouches, the services they provide, if any. Their postcount, their join date, their posts per day, and I look at their signature, and avatar image.

If they lack avatar image, might mean they are just here quickly for something, that I look out for, and lack of a signature. Or a poor one.

Someones post count does not establish that persons level of integrity IRL.
That's just my opinion.

 

[zammys proud]

i agree postcount doenst matter since every1 can get it up by spamming and misleading people this way..

 

[Trip.Fagex]

I think post count really only helps when they didn't spam to get it, like it took them a decent bit to get it. But good and respected vouches are better.

 

[Toke Ganja]

im new, but i didnt even know post count was even needed. ahhh w/e.

 

[tools]

all i can say DONT TRUST LEEACHERS i would trust sum1 with 20+vouches 100+ posts

 

[pushpin]

I trusted JUSTIN, with 700+ post count. That got my level 99 beast of an account scammed, leaving me with just a chat log and him saying, "lol. don't trust people. Thanks for the account."

Ha JUSTIN got me too : (


Ontopic: Depends on a number of things

 

[Surround Sound]

70% vouches
20% join date
10% post count

That's how I work anyway.

 

[ohgekush]

70% vouches
20% join date
10% posts.

just like the other kid, this is right.

 

[Oxo_Cewb]

Just got scammed by a guy with 600+ Post count. It doesn't mean SHIT in my opinion.

 

[I Am The RWT]

A mod can scam you.

[fkb-j]

Even if you've been on sythe for over 3 years people scam , In my eyes vouches only matters.

 

[mike1]

wow i feel old posting seing all you guys im from 2005 ha,

anyway my thoughts.

Bassicly reputation such as some one who has 50+ vouches over a long period of time

join date
if they are before 2007 i feel they are trustworthy but again they will have to have vouches

bassicly them points above.
