What Is Vouches Exactly? [Question]

Status
Not open for further replies.
A vouch is when another member considers one member to be trusted enough to say

"This guy will not scam you".

So, for example(Note that i'm not vouching you here), I would say;

"Vouch for sakai, he will not scam you and is trustworthy."

So, for whoever believes my word, one will think that you are not a scammer.

If you develop enough vouches in the community then you will have a decent reputation of NOT being a scammer.
 
"Vouching" for someone is basically a sign of trust towards the Person recieving the Vouch, Showing that the player recieving the vouch can be trusted, people recieve vouches if for example the sale went smoothly, or the service they offered was very good, A player can choose to vouch them or not,

People offering services cannot ask for a Vouch, and it is against the Rules to make up fake Vouches.
 
As a note, just because somebody has vouches saying they do not scam or that they are trustworthy does not mean that they are. If you are giving a vouch, do not give it just to expect one in return. Simply give vouches to people you have finished a trade with and honestly find them trustworthy. Personally, I never give vouches to everyone unless I feel that they are trustworthy. I'd advise you to do the same so you don't give a vouch to somebody you do not find trustworthy.

The other two users have posted accurate responses so I will not repeat what they have said =)

Vouches matter to prove how trustworthy you are. They increase your chances of people wanting to trade with you or even go first to you. However, you may not try to cheat the system by making your own vouches or having a real life friend make you them, because the 1st method can be detected easily and you can be banned for both.

OK, well I don't play RS any longer, so I doubt I'll have any need for these.

There not always related to Runescape Sales, anyone that sells anything or offers a service on Sythe (from Runescape to Halo 3 Boosting to Selling modded xbox's) Can be vouched.

I don't really sell / trade anything here either. But OCCASIONALLY I did and then eventually setup a page after 4 years and started collecting them and boy do they help. Anytime I trade anywhere, whether it be MMOBAY or sythe, whatever it's just good to have reputable standing that you seem pretty legit to a client or salesman.

It just helps alleviate some fear of trading with you.

Also, if you ever stay on this site long enough they can be used as an aid in making money off of it, such as becoming an OMM, opening up a training shop, or opening a pin shop.

It all can be rather beneficial, even for a guy like me who trades maybe once-twice a year.

IMO, vouches aren't everything. It all depends on the nature of the person and the conflicts that are happening in their life. I mean, I got scammed by Murdertrain, 100+ vouches on sythe, the reason was he was about to be banned.
 
They make people look good, however most vouches are usually empty words as the people usually barely know each other.
