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

    Thread title says it all really.

    Would you like a safe middleman (possibly a moderator), who both halves of a trade would need to go through to ensure that all pin trades are fair?

    Yeah. But instead of just a moderator, you should have something new like 'Official Middleman'

    The problem with this idea is that someone could be friends with the middleman and help the scam

    Thats why you pick a mod or someone higher up who is least likely to scam. Otherwise it will just be a repeat of "the safe list" which was a joke imo sorry.

    what if the middleman gets bored and scams then their both down

    and tbh i wouldn't trust half the mods on here anyways lol

    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..

    Still, you can be friends with a mod and they can help with the scam.

    Its better than no trading at all with the trade section dead cos no1 will go first because they dont want to get scammed.

    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 don't use this section but thought I'd stick my nose in because all I'm doing is playing pokemon anyway so yeah if you were to go through with this I think it would need to be someone far higher up than a simple mod position - history shows that we've had untrustworthy mods in our time, it would need to be an admin at the least I reckon otherwise it's possible with high price trades that the potential gain would be far too tempting for most kids
