Okay so I had this idea, that instead of doing a 2/3 rule, using posts, fg, and join date. I think they should add a small Gold in/Gold out to have a more accurate 2/3 rule. This would help because if you see a 2010 with 3000 fg in, and no fg out, you can tell he is a scammer. Thanks for reading this and happy voting

There is not such a rule like 2/3. Use mediator for trading ur items, and u wont get scammed.

I think that the best idea to avoid scamms is to use mediator trades

no

use a mediator if you wish not to be scammed

I agree using a mediator is the 100% sure not to get scammed, but don't you think mediators have already enough people they have to mediate for? I mean, this would just be more accurate then post count, cause anyone can spam posts and get there count high.

In my opinion, a 2010 can buy fg's from the first day, it has nothing to do for him being a scammer or not.

Like I told you, there is not a 2/3 rule.
There is enough mediators to handle with all requests.

the 2/3 rule is not a site rule, it is simply a rule of thumb used by many traders
mediators exist to mediate

gold in/out is a poor judgement of a trader and is easily abused just as much as post count.

would be easy to just send gold back and forth among friends, or back and forth on multis, increasing their gold in/out exponentially

Better then post counts though.



While this is true, im just trying to do something in my power to throw out ideas to cut back on scamming, and to make the community a little better.

imo, this could be taken advantage of quite easily (much easier to xfer fg back + forth between multis than to sit on jsp posting all day)

2/3 (while covering your ass with screenshots) + meds for BIG trades is the best option imo.
