Should There Be Another "Trusted" Member Thread?

[keister12345]

after being scammed Again :rolleyes: i think it would be wise if we bought back the trusted and untrusted member thread.
basically it would have members names under a title and then how many + (trusted) and - (untrusted) they have next to them. i think this would help people stop being scammed.

It would look like this:

User Going First: (+/-)
Keister12345 5/0

User going second (+/-)
Keister12345 0/0



vote in the poll!!

People could lied and it's mean to name scammers + we can't get all users in it really. Would have to be updated too regularly and mods have better things to do.

[keister12345]

it wouldnt name scammers - it would show their stats

i would update it personally if i could

How would you get a trust or untrusted point, as it were? And what kind of deals does this refer to anyway? If it's money/Rune/etc for Habbo, surely Habbox won't be interested in discussing it in any way given it's against Habbo's T&Cs?

Can you seriously tell me how you've got 'scammed' again? I think this is totally ridiculous. If you're buying Runescape Money for Habbo Furniture, that is your fault - not anyone elses. You shouldn't do it to be honest. Plus, I'd like to know how EXACTLY this would work because I think it'd be a fail of an idea.

You've been a member for over 4 years and yet you still get scammed??? simple rule if you dont know them ..dont trust them ..
As with your idea who says people are to be trusted ..I could put " keister12345"untrusted yet i dont know you ,I cant see any way it would work

[Skajo]

No. Simple as.

[keister12345]

i dont see why people have a problem with the thread idea.

it would work by someone ( me ) Going through the trades for stuff where somebody has to go first, and then looking at the outcome, like if someone vouches for somebody that is 1 trusted point. however if the deal does not go according to plan ( like somebody accuses of scamming ) then the evidence would be shown and if it is sufficient evidence to suggest the person got scammed it is a - trust point.

the only people who would not want it are those people who are likely to scam as it would show people not to trade them

i see where you're coming from and agree with you to an extent. however, a user such as you (or any user for that matter) couldn't really run such an important thread for obvious reasons. you might dislike someone and claim they scammed you even though in reality they could be the safest trader on the forum.

it'd have to be management ran and that only works if any members of management are active runescape or whatever the game in question is users. it'd only be fair if forum management were to run and moderate the thread but then they have to rely on other vouches etc which might not be fair.

also, if someone gets scammed by somebody who is on the trusted members thread then the **** is going to hit the fan and come back at habbox. the scammed memeber will be like "well habbox said he is safe so it's their fault!!" which is true to an extent. it's something habbox don't really need to get involved in - it'll just lead to problems.

at the end of the day - you need to be more careful who you're trading with. that's the obvious solution to your troubles.

i see where you're coming from, however what im saying is, you dont say that they are a scammer in the thread, you are saying how many people say they are trusted and how many people say be careful. so people can make an advanced judgement on who to trust
