a lot of scams happen due to players coming to an agreement via pm's. usually, the very last pm a user receives, is the game name. of course there is a check to store it, but many of us are already on rather limited usable storage. it is also very easy to forget to check the box. leaving you completely unable provide the needed evidence.

i know this still would not give efficient proof in this scenario, as anyone could join said game after you sent pm, pretending to be the other user in trade. still, there are many scenarios that make or prevent storing sent messages. potentially losing info as different pm's of the same subject are replied to.

a small temporary storage box of last 10 sent messages, could help a lot of people string together the missing pieces they need. even if those messages are cleared within 2 hours, it would give users ample time to discover an issue and deal with it.
of course a better box than suggested would be nicer. i really think this could save a lot of headache and perhaps help clean the forums up some.

i'll list these as a poll tomorrow perhaps. i didn't realize that was kind of a necessity.

I think it's a good idea, but it's been suggested before.
I assume since it's closed that means it was denied? Not 100% sure though.

well, it's similar but different in aspects. he was suggesting the notion of auto-tracking so you don't have to press the check each time.
i'm suggesting a completely different storage section with limited, temporary space. this would still keep the need for larger pm boxes, (jsp sales) while giving traders an extra layer of protection.( if not protection at least help organize info.)
the other suggestion thread i have for a trade interface would nearly eliminate the need for this. that is another suggestion though.

other forums use an outbox and a sent box, outbox -> u can delete ur messages before they have been read (but of course not after they are read)

sent box -> getting filled up and every time its full the last one in order gets removed

very good idea! I hate when people read outdated pms
