Look, im sorry to post another thread on this subject, but there were just some questions that i had still that i couldn't answer because it was closed down so... quickly. anyway, plz give me good reasons why my ideas are bad, and if they are, i will totally back down, because i just want whats best for the community, and i think that this can be a good idea. thank you for reading this post. Anyway, here are all some quotes that people said in my last post that I didnt really understand, and i would be very grateful if they could simply be answered. Thank you for your time.

and the next suggestion about "service tags"....
this will never happen. there is no need for "service tags" - trusted, mediator, not rated and scammer are really enough.
how would you decide if you give them to a member? on trust? then it's just a trusted tag. and anything else does not make any sense.
first off, do you really think that there is no need for a service tag? People are frequently needing a grush in this game whether it be just starting over or making a new char, and i am pretty sure that i still haven't seen any Trusted tag members doing any grushing services and its been over 2 weeks. I understand that they just simply dont have time... People need more grushes. simple as that.
secondly, Whether or not someone recieved a service tag would be based on their grushing through their trial ( being 10 or more days, but more on that later) and their speed, communication, and just overall being a good person to play with. Realistically, a grush doesnt require that much trust other then payment, and thats the easiest part... so ya, it wouldnt be based off of their trust, it would be based off of how good of a grusher they really are.

Cause the tags are not given out senseless.
Having a tag means being recognized as Trusted by the community and we cannot risk to have some users scammed.
I realize why you are worried about your members being scammed, and frankly, I am too, that is why I think it is up to the Jsp staff to decide on whether or not someone is eligable for a 30 day trial. I still dont have a full idea of how the staff would decide if an individual is eligible for a trial, but thats why im leaving it up to the staff to decide so that they won't send out a bunch of scammers to take everyones fg. One thing i have thought of though, is if a rule was inforced for the payment of all grushes or something. if half the money is payed up front to the grusher with the tag, and then half is done at the end? therefore trust will be needed for both the grusher and the grushee. the 2/3 rule was made for basic trading, why not this one for grushing?

If you want to offer services, find an iso thread and post there. You are still allowed to offer services without a trusted tag if you follow the correct channels. The only restriction is that you CANNOT make a thread posting your service for trade. Or post your service in your profile, or user blogs or anywhere else on this board.
If you can't find a thread that is iso a service, use the trade search option available in the trade forum. There's a filter for services only.
Many users follow the rule and still offer services for people following the regulations of this board. It's time the rest of the community does the same.
This one I am kinda confused about. What is the difference on whether or not you can make your own posts, rather then just post on others? your still doing the same service in the exact same way in the end. A grush. So why does it matter how you advertise your services?

Who said they would be given out senslessly? i said that in my original post, that jsp staff would decide if someone could recieve a trial. sorry if i didnt make that clearer, but ya, it would be jsp's decision.

This is what trusted / mediator tags are for. Sorry this won't happen.
Yes, i do realize that this is what they are for, but to be honest... you rarely see med's and Trusted tag members having time to do grushing for the Jsp forum. they are busy running it and making sure everyone is abiding by the rules and such. how do they have the time to do grushing?
