If someone has a 2008 join date with 0 fg, while I have a 2021 join date with 40k fg, who should go first?

If someone has 30k fg 2021 creation but 5 post, and I have 250 fg with 2,000 posts created 2021, who should go first?

sorry just venting here thank you ill eat a biscuit now and stop crying

Mediator

This.

If we are talking about 20fg trades, who cares.

If we are talking about enought fg to be worry about who should go first, just call a mediator unless you already know that guy and you trust him.

A lot of people use the 2/3 rule tho, older account 1 point, more fg 1 point more post 1 point, the one with 1 or less points goes first.

I wouldn't go first to anyone with a 2021 acc.

But neither posts, nor fg and join date mean anything:
You could have a high post count because you spam consistently or have low post counts because you have a real life as well.
You could just have bought something for a vast amount of fg and now have less or you could just have transfered mass fg from your multi and have 100k.
You could have an old account which you just used to scam in the past and happened to be never locked or you could just have created a new one because you've heard from your rl friends they are trading here.

With all that said: use mediator

all 2021 users should go first
if both users are 2021 then fg/post count would be factored

Mediator for anything of real value, otherwise Fg first, always. Fg can be locked/dealt with, but items are gone for good regardless. Fg can be bought, post count can be spam and join date is meh.
