vouch suggestion #45264i know the criticism of vouches has been posted before, but i think there should explicit things that shouldn't be vouched for. If someone buys gold off of a person/business, it shouldn't be vouched for. I specifically am referring to someone purchasing a service assuming the buyer is going first / no middleman involved. I've only been on here a short amount of time technically, but to see people with 95% of their vouches as just them buying off a gold site seems fake to me. I get Sythe is meant to be a free market and you shouldn't trust someone on the merit of the quantity of vouches, donor size, etc., but people still do - mostly newbies. I feel like this would prevent numerous of new and old users from being turned away from using Sythe in the future as people will have more quality vouches instead of just quantitative. Even then, if someone were to receive even just a minute amount of vouches from highly trusted members, they can flaunt that as being trusted when there was no trust involved with them at all.
Example:
User One made a sythe account a few days ago, buys gold off of widely known gold sites and gets 10-15 vouches from different ones. User two is brand new to sythe with no prior knowledge and wishes to sell their gold. User one uses his vouches to persuade user two to trust him (when in fact his vouches were received with no trust at all) and ends up scamming user two for 100m rs3 because someone from Bogla, Divica, Arcus, etc. gave them an unwarranted vouch.
I repeat, what I want isn't some super vague rule on vouching, but something specific like disallowing the vouch of someone who is merely purchasing a service and going first without a Middleman.
At the bare minimum, if you're to vouch for someone who purchases your service, at least have it required to say they the buyer went first without a middleman so if someone were to read it that they know they weren't entrusted with the possible billions of GP first. If you do this already, gold star to you because this prevents possibly new or frequent users from being scammed.
Anyways, say what you think below; if you have any criticisms I'd like to know.
EDIT: Wanted to say that the only reason I mention sites like Arcus and such was that they were the first to pop to mind - not the first ones I think of who does what I'm speaking of. They're used for example sake only as they've become big names in gold selling for Runescape.
