i've already thought of that. i've thought a few ways to work around it, such as an option to turn off requests. I don't think this would be a huge issue though.
if people want to spam someone, they can just spam their pm box already. you will get bombarded if it came to that anyway.
same as in offering trades, the only thing changed is that their offer(s) aren't in pm form.
also, this is not skipping a mediated trade. this suggestion is not for skipping any part of a trade.
this is an organized shelf of info, for when a player wants that layer of insurance.
the only reason there i'm putting so much design into this... is because no one will read what they need to know when they join this site. everyone finds out the hard way. so i'm trying to create something that newer users would find appealing to use, and teach them all the info they need to know with their first use.
if someone could design something a little more simple, i am definitely up to see it.
There is zero insurance.
You either trade with a mediator or you take the risk.
This site has been around since 2002. If there were ways to make a virtual trade between 2 parties safer it would have already been set in place.
Unforunately...the internet along with this site are both heavily reliant on trust.
