About people writing [TRUSTED] on their threads

I do think that people should not be allowed to write [trusted] unless they have 50-100+ vouches. I do think that it should be a rule.
Since the title is a way to misslead newcomers.


What do you lads think?

 

Users write that as an attempt to look legit. Maybe having this rule of 50+ vouches to have the ability to have [Trusted] written would be a good idea.

Definitely further encourages legitimacy on Sythe.

 

Already went over this 100 times. Anybody can say trusted, but nobody has to believe them. Making a trusted rank would discriminate against legitimate noobs.

 

Actually i have to disagree. Making a trusted rank will be bad for newcomers trying to get vouches up. This will be probably a warzone later on. I think everything is fine as for now and ranks are not needed. What I am trying to say is that writing trusted on your their is missleading.

 

It's their thread, they are allowed to put whatever they want in it. Provided it isn't anything that could be mistaken for staff or something, then putting [TRUSTED] is fine. It's up to the user to decide if they consider that person trusted or not.

 

This has been suggested more times than I can count. I personally will edit it out of titles if it's some random person with no vouches or only a couple. Otherwise, people are allowed to use almost anything they want in thread titles (aside from already established ranks such as mod, omm, highly trusted, highly respected, etc) unless they actually hold the rank - It's up to you as the person viewing their thread to make the decision of whether or not they are "trusted"

Use some common sense. Always trade safe. Always do some research on the person you're trading. May save you a buck.
