    as you can probably see on the blog, i have decided to code a program, i have added in a disclaimer, which basically says : habbox accepts no responsibility, i accept no responsibility and Jagex and Sulake staff cannot use the program to ban people for use of the program.

    i think it would be hard to do if im honest. It would be extra work for whoever had to do it and getting the info to put into it would be unreliable in the first place

    I had a look, there's an issue with displaying their average trade size. Some people may always only do very small trades purely for fear of being scammed. Even though they are perfectly safe, wouldn't this give an unfair representation of them?

    Also, why couldn't Sulake ban people? It wouldn't be a very reliable source of information to them, agreed, but still it wouldn't stop them banning someone because they saw them on the list, if they wanted to.

    It was done before in the Runescape section a while back.

    (Dunno if this has been mentioned)

    Basically you would go ahead with the trade and take screenshots/video record the trade and then show it to a MOD who was in charge of the thread. After a user completed say 5 trades of going second then he would be put onto the Trusted User list.

    This didn't work though as scammers got onto the list, obviously doing 5 legit trades then just kept scamming once on there as most people didn't bother recording or screenshoting trades between someone who was on the trusted list.

    Exactly. It will just create a huge opportunity for scammers.

    No. Bad idea.

    People can just put things about people that they don't even know about. False info. False stats.
