And everyone wonders why there is no trades on the rs section.

if the intention of half the people selling/buying is to scam anyways then it still won't be done so won't increase activity, also alot of the forum don't use runescape and a minority do so it's not going to be increased by much if any.

Even so shouldnt that minority be given a chance to actually be able to trade without getting scammed everytime.. And imo the reason no-one actually trades is because literally everyone is like no not going first.

If they were gonna get scammed before then nothing is changing as the people who intend on scamming aren't going to use the MM......

But the people who are genuine will.

And it would increase the activity if it was a success as people on habbo who played runescape would start joining to use rs section again.

They could easily scam once in a while and the persons unlikely to video it as they're supposed to be a safe middleman and if the member is new its his word against the mod's so..

And most of the mods now are alot more trusted than they used to be.

You just have to pick out someone who alot of people trust and/or is in high management.

Anyway isnt it worth a go?

I haven't seen you post much so not sure how active you are or if I'm just so inactive but how are the mods trusted? Orange has been a mod for like 2 weeks (I do remember you now, but purple) and the others come and go. When we had loads of people trading if no one didn't go first the trade wouldn't happen. Getting scammed was a risk habbox didn't care we made.

A forum mod would not be the middleman, it would be an smod or someone higher up like a manager. But at the moment we are just asking if you would like a middleman to help with pin trades. It would be completely optional to use him/her.

smods+ spend hardly any time on habbo as it is so i doubt they'd always be available when a trade is needed.

If its optional then its not reducing scamming as the people with the intention of scamming aren't going to use the middleman anyways...
