Hi there,

i made this topic because i think there should be one more trader rank.
Here the situation:

If someone is a honest trader and has low time, then there is a problem to get trusted status.
Since trusted status includes not only to be a honest trader, we should introduce a new rank.
Beside this .. the step is also quite big .. from not rated to trusted.
So my suggestion is to make new trader rank like: honest

This would give more people the chance to show, if they wanna stay honest or they want do also more for the community in d2jsp and get later trusted status.
So i noticed this problem already few years ago. I have basicly low time, but i would never scam. I simply dont need that and i earn enough money in real life.
Therefore i lost my trusted status and lost also the advantages i had few years before - i was busy with my study . I speak about little advantages like for example get first by fg trading or offer lvl service or just help any people in fg trades for games which not many people play and there is no mediator for this game.

The advantages for jsp with this new rank is obvious:

* good started rank for give more people the chance to show if they just honest or wanna get trusted later
* less work for mediators or trusted people because also honest people can help with few and small trades
* for some games there is hard to find mediator and many people are too lazy to search for little trades with low ammount of fg
* less work on scammer accusation (many of them just because of little trades and didnt get mediator), because little fg trades can be solved also by honest people
* honest people get rewarted by this rank and give other normal members also a positive view when they see honest trader get ranked too

What do you think ? .. i think there are enough points to give it a try.

userstatus =/= Trader


voted no and wont happen anyway

i pointed out 5 advantages .. where are your 5 disadvantages for *no* ?

Wont happen, your either Trusted Tagged or your not.

seems you dont know the meaning of trusted tag .. therefore there is a new rank for >only< *safe trader* required

there is no point in your tag, anyone could be a honest trader, then abuse it.
how would it be different to a trusted tag?
you could mediate? it doesnt work like that. thats what mediators are for.

you are given a trusted tag because of the trust and effort you put into the site.
its not just about being a good trader on d2.

either way, no matter how you put it across it will NOT happen.

Disadvantages:
1)We don't need it, you're either Trusted or a Scammer(Or Mediator of course.)
2)Honest...Trusted...they are pretty close if you ask me, and we don't need two tags for nearly the same thing
3)It would devalue the Trusted tag and all those people that worked for it in the past.
4)"Good Starter Rank"? Not every user who has just started/restarted Jsp is going to be honest
5)"Low Time" <- I'm not exactly sure what you mean there, but post count/join date means nothing in terms of a trusted tag.
6)
You seem like you are turning "Honest" into Mediator, which wouldn't work.

you are admin now and say it will not happen ? ... you should use fair way of argue

i point out your sentence to make clear whats the point of this rank ... to split a rank for those who are just trusted trader without any effort to jsp directly

so if i know i am safe trader .. for what i need always to bother a mediator to help me with little fg trade ? ... for this its useful and the other 4 points i added

Users are either Trusted tagged, Scammer tagged or Not Rated.
With this suggestion, the only difference would be that Not Rated users would then be Honest. Makes no difference.

It has been suggested before,



And was closed with the quite Not going to happen.
Im replying to you with something I have read from the past.

And in reply to your 2nd sentence, why should they be awarded the honest trader tag if they arent contributing help to the site? Like my previous comment anyone can be a honest and decent trader.

How do you propose someone gets your honest tag? elected by the community? It will not work. there is a system already in place.

Again i say will NOT happen, no matter what you say.


~who defines you a safe trader? yourself? your friends? then the tag is baised, and can be exploited.
The trusted tag cannot.
