Would you like a 'middle man' to be designated for pin trades in this forum?

Poll results are irrelevant tbh as 90% of the people who voted yes don't and never have played runescape so really no need for em voting

For Habbox to appoint anybody to be a 'middleman' could compromise their liability, neutral standing and impartiality. I think this system does work on other forums but if it was implemented the way to go I think is for members to apply to be middlemen but for the members to vote if they should or not in a secret ballot. The old trusted system was better than it is now and from a personal point of view I do not see any difference between Runescape or Habbo Trading. If someone did prove to be untrustworthy then they could be removed. Got to be better than it is now although things would have be kept up-to-date in a scrupulous fashion which sometimes hasn't happened in the past.

Also another reason why I think this is pointless, Having looked, the last pin to be sold on this forum was the 2nd of Jan.

Now being the 6th of Feb, it's just be a waste of time really. If it takes other 1 month for someone to sell a single pin then please tell me, what is the point?

They are all scared to go first in the trade as they don't want to get scammed, which is why this could be a useful idea to help traders actually buy and sell again.

Playing Runescape has nothing to do with making trades on this forum safer so the votes do count.

Also even department managers scammed lol, an old HxHD manager scammed loads of habbo/runescape and was even played on the unsafe traders list. So it's not as if they're all trustoworthy and it's not as if it takes like a year to get a management job.

Theres the key word. Most of the staff have changed i know alot of staff who i would trust now even if they are just moderators, But to what you said Catzsy you couldnt pick someone from the rs section as it would be exactly the situation we are in now there is hardly anyone in the rs section who i would trust and thats why imo we need someone who actually has something to lose.

Not like I'll ever need to use this 'Middleman', I'm not really too fussed what scammer gets appointed.

Well I can see where you are coming from in that respect but it would have to be somebody who played Runescape or Habbo to be able to be a middleman wouldn't it? I maybe wrong about this though.

Not really as if someone who has no intention of using either the runescape forum or the middleman service then there is no point in their vote as it'll not involve them even if it does get implemented.

Only thing thats changed about staff is its easier to get hired and promoted than it was before.

You could have someone who doesnt play either it wouldnt really matter aslong as they are prepared to middleman and people trust them its better than what it is now.
