Verified Guide Sales...

[Dark L3g3nd]

Ok,

So when a guide is verified it could be patched in a day, week, month etc. Sometimes verifiers don't remember to go back and check that the guides still work. So why not when A guide is verified put the date is was verified in the thread title and also one month from that date so say it was a Guide on making 500k an hour the title before would be :

[Verified]500k an hour[27/12/2010-27/1/2011]

After the one month has passed the guide should be put back into the unverified guide sales and if it still works then the owner of the guide could simply send a pm for verification. This would help to stop guides that aren't working from being sold as well as preventing verifiers to go back and test the guide out again.

So now there's two ways to go about this :

1. Verifiers move the threads manually after one month.
2. vBulletin is configured to move the threads after one month of being verified.

Not sure if the second is possible but Matthew or Sythe would know, even if a plugin is needed then I'm sure one could be made.

I like this idea, it prevents scamming with patched guides.

Support. Guides should need to be re-verified.

As for making a plugin and having verifiers move it, no. Thats what the job of a market mod is.

Bump this back up.

Decent idea, although I don't agree with the date should be in the title. Most people selling a guide want to describe it as best they can, and usually, the characters in the title aren't enough to do this anyway, so adding in a date would make it worse.

If a way around this could be made, you'd have my full support.

*Possibly first line in the thread would suffice?

I support this, that way less intentional and unintentional scamming.

 

I've given ideas to improve that section and the verifiers just overlooked it.
