[Suggestion] Trusted Level

It would end up being abused or improperly used just as the thanks / rep / mention system and would never serve as a realistic view on one's trusted level. Not to mention that people may do trades on the fly and no vouches may be given or people may do mass microtrading and get shitloads of vouches.

tl;dr: won't work.

Not to mention the fact that you're not considering the sheer number of people doing trades without supervision or the fact that some trades or traders may perform riskier, more worth trades than others and without a clearly defined system of ranking such trades, it would never work out.

And I'm pretty sure that even though I never trade on MPGH (I only MM and even that has been in decline in recent weeks) I can be trusted more than a 12 year old kid that would do anything for 50 bucks, even if he's managed to sell 10 or so accounts for 5 bucks each.

I am trusted, a lot of people know me here but the only reason why I have a red bar is because I posted about it a long time ago when I was new, for that everybody de-repped me. I always help people and nearly the whole CF section knows me, I asked at times for like a rep reset or disable/hide my rep but no one from the admins replied.
It sucks because when I go to a new section people think that I'm a ****** for having a red bar but really having it for a ridiculous reason.. @Ravallo @Dave84311

For that reason I believe we should have more bars like the Reputation bar, the Trusted bar or the Credibility bar @Leaf suggested.

But there's really no way around managing what has been going on with thanks or reputation - you will never be able to fairly determine the amount of trust/credibility one can assign to a member.

Well the Credibility one could be based off some determining statistics, and the Trusted one should be implemented with the Vouch plugin. Also, members will be permanently banned if they are found to fake their vouches in any way, I guess that will stop them from doing it aswell, making the Trusted bar reliable

The ban thingy will atleast scare the members with 2500+ posts or staff away, and since they're like the only candidates it should work for 90% atleast

The admins can only get the trusted bar higher

I support this, it's a good idea. +1

I like this idea.

Except maybe a different colored bar? :O

It'll look to similar to the rep bar.

Make it different so that you can differentiate between the two.

@OmNom
What would you think of this?

I totally support this, great idea.

And which statistics would those be? And as already mentioned, someone who does lots of trades is not necessarily more trusted than one with less. There's no need to fake vouches when you can do $1 trades a hundred times a day
