Seeing how a Trusted tag is so hard to obtain, why don't they add in a "Good Trader" tag, so a regular person can offer Ubers, Grushes and such. The requirements would have to be something like Less than 20% warn, over 200 Transactions with a FG in/out of over 2k and active on the site for over 6 months. This would assist mediators in two ways: It make it so they dont have to continually close threads, due to offer services without tag and it would also be an incentive for people not to accumulate "warn" because of the threat of the Good Trader tag being taken way.

I see a lot of threads being closed because a large number of Trusted/Mediators don't play diablo 2 and non trusted people have to offer the services (or they dont offer the services if they play Diablo 2). It would also assist mediators, because they would not have to be closing the constant creation of Grush/Ubers/Service threads. On my home server, West Hardcore Ladder, a huge amount of Grush/Uber threads get closed due to not having a trusted tag. There isnt a single Mediator or Trusted who currently plays on this server and thus no way for the average person to offer services.

Just a thought, LMK what you think

No.
If they think you're trusted enough to obtain a good trader tag, than they would give you a Trusted tag..

This defeats the purpose of the trusted tag.

Warns have nothing to do with trust when it comes to trading, so that won't work.
Transaction amount can be easily changed, doesn't equate to trust.
Fg in/out can be changed, doesn't equate to trust.
6 months on the forum doesn't mean you deserve to host your own services.

I'm sorry but this won't work. This makes it so anyone can get this tag and rip people off. I'm sure there will be people that wouldn't abuse this, but there would be plenty that would. Even people you think you can trust would scam with this. So this has a definate no vote from me.

Alrighty, I guess im too nieve. I've made hundreds of transactions and never even had the thought of scamming. I understand why it would be a bad idea now,

though I wish there was some way for me to LEGALLY offer my services for FG

There are usually many people that need rushes and of that sort. Your best bet would just to be patient and offer on threads where people are ISO of your service.

there is a way.
if a trusted or mediator tagged member hosts your service (he opens thread and takes resonsibility for your service), you may offer service. but its up to you to find one who hosts your service.
