Many times when I'm going back through my fg transactions for history to see what I traded for in the past, I often see fg amounts with no description next to them (from people who send FG to me), or some people write completely unrelated descriptions like: "LOL NICE". So I'm essentially left to guess what exactly I received the fg for.

For myself, I've made it a habit to type some kind of description for every transaction I make, so that I have a record to which I can refer back to.
However, I noticed that for those people who buy things from me, they do not have this habit, and often leave the field blank. So when I look back, I don't know what I sold.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
So my suggestion is:

Before a fg transaction is made, have the person receiving the fg agree/decline the transaction (maybe through a dialogue box).

This way, if the person receiving would like the sender to leave an accurate description for recording purposes, he/she can:

1) decline the transaction first,
2) ask the sender to add a description or revise it,
3) and then have the sender send the fg amount again.

In its current state, we have an "automatic" acceptance when someone sends you fg, so it makes it hard for people to make sure there's an accurate description.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Anyone else want this feature? Because I find it quite annoying that I often can't remember what I sold anyone due to them not leaving an accurate description.

Also: Some people have suggested just to make it a requirement for the sender to type something into the description box. However, if you do that, the sender might leave a wrong description, so my solution above would basically negate that by having the receiver approve the description before accepting.

Maybe make it mandatory to write a comment along with your fg amount/password, but that accept/deny thing will never happen.
Nobody is stopping you from keeping a record of your trades.

Voted yes. I also see another use here. Forgive me if I explain difficultly.....I am really tired. Anywho...this option would also allow a user to refuse fg from a member that they feel may be doing things that could get them locked for (reciecing scammed fg).

Please reread my suggestion again I covered all of your points already.

1) If you only make it mandatory to write a comment, then that still doesn't stop someone from writing something like "LOL WSUP" instead of the actual description.

2) And also, only the sender can write the description, so if he puts something completely unrelated or leave it blank, then that effectively "stops" me from keeping an accurate record of my trades.



Yep, that's another one too. If someone is sending you "scammed" fg then you can deny it or else there's a possibility that you can be accused as a "multi".

yes very true interesting concept to say the least, i think this idea def has more good then harm
good idea imo

You decide that it will never happen? Since when?

Voting yes.

1) Sure they could do that, but if they had to write something I am sure a lot more people would put a description rather than spam

2) Do you not remember trades you just made? Why can't you write down what you traded somewhere else.

It is called confidence, something that may be foreign to you, but when people who use their brains come to a conclusion based on the facts, they can feel confident in what they are saying is true.
Njag implements maybe 1/100 suggestions, and they are rarely ones that require too much effort, and for the most part, none that are stupid. Like adding a step to every single fg transaction, of which there are thousands(If not tens of thousands) a day.

i dont know

Voted no sorry, making it mandatory for people to write a description doesn't mean they will give the exact reason.


Needs to remain optional imo.


If you want to keep tabs on all of your fg transactions you should make a word document or excel to keep track of it. Its your responsibility.

My suggestion doesn't mention that description must be mandatory.

It only suggests that the person receiving fg can accept/decline the fg transaction. Whether or not he minds a transaction with no description is his own preference.

But the main point I'm making is, with this implementation, descriptions will remain optional as it is now, but it gives more control to sellers over the description when receiving fg.
