A 5 star rating mechanism for users.
Especially a last 6 month - number of reviews and rating from 0 to 5, last 12 months and so on...

This way any user can know the reliability of any user, even recent ones. Last 6 month reviews makes 2008 user and 2016 user the same.

This is because even if I am extremely good for next 2 years, I would still look less reliable than a 2008 user who probably made mistakes and had a bad attitude in last 6 months.

Inspired from Seller ratings on eBay

Too easy to abuse. 2019 could "look" reliable with 5 star rating by trading with its own multies...
Usually a bad attitude and mistakes = warn level.

Mistakes and attitude don't result in warn level all the time.

It is very easy to fix the abusing system.

• Only one review for a user per X months
  
• User can submit a review only after X months of Y level of activity

/e Also you will be seeing the number of reviews for the 5 star rating. I believe multis can't create a 100 accounts to review lol

Someone like me would also "look" unreliable bc I'm not actively trading and frequently take 2+ years off from site. I come back for the odd ladder reset when I get the playing bug. Imo not needed. What is the purpose of your idea anyway? What is the purpose of "looking" equal to a 2008? Everyone on here is equal. Everyone is ranked not rated except for trusted/ mediator.

I have been turned down compared to a 200x user several times although I have been very actively trading. The point of this idea is to know who is actively trading and being GM.

For trades or for what? Imo you look fine. Almost same average post count as me. I would give first if buying from you and if buying from me you would give first. I've seen your king posts they look sweet so u doing something right already.

Ty. Just thought this might be having some uses lol. If not its okay

What would you do about fake bad ratings?

Voted no

Number of fake vs real reviews? Real reviews will over rule the fake ones

I'm thinking 1 bad review with 5 good reviews will still drop your average rating well below 5
