Rank Requirement for MM

[rs emperor]

I'm sick of non-trusted members with 31 and 71 posts posting MM applications and adding me on msn asking if I need a MM. They aren't trusted and are looking to MM big trades. I think there should be a rank requirement for someone to have a MM thread (either Guru/Forum Addict). I don't want anyone getting scammed by a 31 post "middle man memer".

Thanks,
Rs Emperor

I wouldn't say using post counts, can help limiting bad MMs, i would suggest posting a guide on how to avoid "bad" MMs in the Middleman Forum and it'll be more helpful.

Post count means nothing... Just be smart and find a good MM that you trust... :/

 

[Silent Kidz]

yeah ranking would be good but its the matter of the fact IF you trust them

Maybe only post a thread if 10+ vouches

Post count doesn't always matter. This will be a flawed system.

I'm sick of ignorant members with a few hundred/ thousand posts complaining about people with low post count posting MM applications. They aren't any more trusted than a new member because of post count, and are trying to say that post count = trust level. I think us mods should give out TwCs to members that cite their post count as trust, and there should be a rank requirement for someone to have a MM thread (Not citing post count/ join date). I don't want anyone getting scammed by someone who cites their post count as equaling trust.

This.

If you dont completely trust the person thats MM'ing, then dont use him. It isnt rocket science to be honest.

If infact you went by post count to get a MM rank, than that would cause alot of more spam than ever so i disagree.

-Wrong

Still, everyone complains about being scammed. Ranks would be nice but making a Trial MM Application wouldn't be better. Sorry Rs Emperor but I'm going to add on to your thread. He;s absolutely right, there are wayy too many people advertising their MM'ing services on Sythe. Almost every time that they do, it's for a big trade. Again, it would be a great idea to make a Trial MM form, where all you do is fill out a questionnaire and reply it on the thread. Anyone who has vouches already can use them but from this point on. We should make everyone take out "Free MM'ing" from their sigs and whatever and apply to be MM's. It would be a lot of work but that would cut down the rate of scamming drastically. As for Official MM's, they'd stay the same, picked by the Admins/Mods.

I've made a similar suggestion on R2Pleasent:

They're a new forum though so it's much, much easier to start this process but Sythe would have such a better reputation of anti-scams if they followed this. Sorry if it's been suggested before guys, but it certainly fits this thread and it certainly should be taken into check by an Admin and/or Mod.

not post counts, should be vouches tbh.

 

[Aeroplane]

Lol, don't base your trust on post count. So many people spam to look trusted.

Seriously, number of posts is not the amount of trust. Merchant of Crystal Tears got 3,000 posts in 3 weeks and is now banned.

If you're stupid enough to trust them with your shit, you deserve to be scammed. Common sense is all that's needed, and it the site shouldn't have to make this place child-proof. If worse comes to worse, you fuck up and get scammed. You'll probably learn a important life lesson.

Don't let post count or even vouches fool you into thinking someone is trusted.

 

[Xix]

Post count doesn't mean anything.

 

As many have stated, trust is not in post count, or join date, look them up before you use them.

 

[Burnley]

would be alot better via amount of LEGIT vouches not shit like he

mining from 1-10 mining very trustful did not steal my tin ore amazing guy...


but yea we see ur point

Agreed. I've almost been here for 1 year now & there are some users that joined last month, and have a higher port count then me. I'm very active here at sythe, I just don't go spam crazy. :noworry:
