    Default I suggest middleman system for traders

    from reading this thread:
    http://www.habboxforum.com/showthrea...86#post3177786
    which the forum moderator garion stated "It's been debated whether it counts as evidence, but unfortunately not as it comes from an external source which may be unreliable. It is generally up to Runescape and Habbo to deal with scammers, and unless someone admits/tries to scam on the Forum we have no evidence that we know is reliable." I would like to introduce the middleman system.
    I liked the bit where it says " it croms from an external source which may be unreliable" how about we start using internal sources for example moderators, super moderators or assistant forum managers they would simply be making sure the trade goes through fairly and everything goes along as planned.
    how this works? easy 2 people set up a trade be it a little trade or a big one the middleman holds onto both of the items and gives the right person their item they want and the person that set up the trade buying in the first place pays 50-100k to the middleman for doing this service, nothing comes in free in life does it?
    what would this do? it would stop scamming this has worked on lots of forums i have used in the past but only the moderators of the forum do it incase everyone does it and then even more scammers come.
    what if something goes wrong? if one person is buying a pin and one person claims it to be an invalid pin the mod will ask for the person that claimed it is an invalid pin for their pass to check the pin and see if it has any days of credit, if the person refuses well the mod cant help can they?
    Whats good that comes out of this? Less scamming, less complaints + free money for mods
    this is only a suggestion please do not flame me for it im only trying to prevent scamming.

    helpful comments would be nice

    So basicly they give their stuff to the middleman?
    Well, moderators or whatever won't go onto games just to watch people trade. :rolleyes:

    Actually it's a good idea, but we have nowhere near enough time to do that. It's up to users if they want to organise that amongst themselves.

    Won't work. Takes too much time for the middlemen and they can still scam. Also you trade at your own risk.

    I used to be a MM for a Runescape sites. But eventually the system falls apart, and the MM's you trusted started taking your stuff.

    I like the idea, but this is a big Forum and there are far too many trades going on throughout the day. We have nowhere near enough time.

    Garion - waiting list middle man will not be manditory + waiting lists could be set up.
    Ymo - I said there would be a 50-100k fee or 10&#37; fee of the total of the currency of one the games they are trading between its a small profit for nothing.
    Micky.blue.eyes - i said habbox forum staff such as moderators because i hoped habbox forum would not have scammers work as staff. I did not say just anyone could be a middle man.
    Smurtz - some sites have working MM systems you just need solid rules.

    So the middleman gets a cut of the trade?

    That's just stupid.
