People With Pardoned DNT

Describe the problem:
People on Sythe should be held more accountable for performing scams in the past. How it stands currently, you are able to get an infraction removed by appealing or asking for a pardon. I agree with appealing and over ruling an infraction because generally this is done because the result isn't satisfactory. I don't agree with completely removing easy ways to find infractions.

Right now you need to use the search function to find peoples past infraction history. The issue with this is that if they are active on Sythe, and in a lot of cases are donators, it is not as simple to find this kind of information.

What current rule(s) tackle this problem:
None.

Explain the change:
I believe every past infracted member of Sythe should have a PERMANENT black mark to warn potential buyers who they are communicating with. Either something within the profile on the first page or on every post similar to a TWC but smaller and on the right side where join date, post information, and referrals are. This would directly help new buyers that request PMs, check profiles, or are simply browsing the sale pages. I don't think this should apply for people who have DISPUTED the infraction, but only for those that simply received a PARDON to return to the community.

Explain why this change will fix the problem:
New users won't have to do any extra work to find past infractions on Sythe users that are still active and can easily bury their past infractions.

Side-effects:
Some old infracted members will not like this as it could potentially harm future sale opportunities but I think this is required due to so many returning infracted members. Users that have used Sythe without any infraction are more clearly justified and are also rewarded for good trading ethics.

 

System is currently fine.

Permanently handicapping market parties isn't a good idea. People are already evading. Your change will incentivize this even further, or they will seek out other trading platforms — which reduces activity.
