As of late in the d2r trading I keep seeing new accounts doing fishy activity. Example posting multiple posts trying to sell runes cheap but not trading first with a account only 1 to 2 days old. I think we should be able to flag an account for such behavior that will alarm other traders to be carful of them proceed with caution.

Hey Vak,

I am strongly against the idea of being able to tag/ flag any account, regardless of their join date, for the way they want to conduct their trades. If people brake the site rules, like an early bump violation or creating multiple topics of the same item offer - you can already report that. If they prove to be a scammer - you can make a case against them. However, there is no rule for them to go first, and they should not feel like they have to go first as well. Use a mediator when dealing with people you find questionable - this is the best solution to the problem.

Regarding targeting specifically new members - I am very much against that. I believe the join date has very little meaning by itself and can be quite misleading. For example, if you joined in 2010 and have 300 posts - that doesn’t mean you are more trustworthy than a person who joined a month ago. It simply shows you were completely inactive or afk for the 10 years.

I would suggest adding a poll and following the recommended format for these threads if you want to see how much support your idea might have.

I believe that becomes a slippery slope when you start automatically assuming/being able to cast doubt on people and isn’t fair to that individual and would end up heavily abused.

As an example you have 185 posts making your general experience on the site/ trading here also lacking by the standards of those that are more active, does that make you untrustworthy as well? That doesn’t seem fair for me to cast that doubt or assumption. I’d rather just treat you with respect and get some trading done

If you’re uncomfortable with how they’re doing something then use a mediator. So for me my vote would be no, but that’s just my 2 cents.

I completely agree with how your thought process is. The only issue and of course it can't be exactly flag or warned right away but the reason for me bringing this up is because of scammers getting away with this and I've seen people lose FG and never get it back. Yes be carful with how you trade but my god people suck. I can't access my old account from back in 2008, but when I made this one and first traded I was the person that would give or trade the item first. Using this forum you should be able to trust in some form that who you're dealing with won't scam. Was just a thought and was frustrated seeing this happen right before my eyes. Thanks.
