@dudecore
Ok didn't know you we're getting pm's about this. I read it more like oh well you got ripped off get over it. It's gonna happen again so stop posting about it I know there is nothing you can do and I hope no one expects you to. I understand that you are donating your time and we do appreciate it. Thanks for explaining it more

All I know is that I don't want to hear it this time if people get taken again. It happens once a month at this point and it's just annoying.

This.  I think a post saying that the person is untrustworthy is sensible.  So is being pissed off at the person.  But all the posts stating that you're going to go to their house and stuff is over the top.  Yeah, you may have lost a card or several cards, but a bunch of posts about it isn't really necessary.  There's always going to be a risk with online trading.  I realize I'm being a bit hypocritical because I made a couple posts pertaining to the MetalMadMan deal, but I do agree with DC here.

I have to disagree with you and dc. Yes dude core and you have seen this before and will see it again as being older members. To some people this is the first time for them. Let them express what they want and blow off some steam. Unless we lock the site not allowing new members things or ideas are going to appear again.

I totally see where you're coming from, but I'm not talking about just the major deals either.  I've seen several "It's been a week and my cards still aren't here!  This guy is a (profanity) and you shouldn't trade with him!"  Those are unnecessary and I just think that talking about going to their house and stuff is unnecessary.  It is good to let people know that a person is a bad trader though.  Just don't say that after a week or a week and a half or something.  I know I'm kinda just repeating myself, but I'm trying to say it where I don't sound like an .rearexit..  I just can't think of the best wording :-\

I think the trusted trader forum needs to be cleaned up badly cause people like him have people vouching for him

Sadly, to keep things free, that's all you can go off of. If people can vouch for someone or not. As explained in a thread in the Ideas and Feedback section, yeah you can use things like eBay and PayPal, but there's fees involved. The whole point of trading is to keep from having to spend money. Yeah it sucks when this happens, but as stated numerous times before, don't trade what you can't afford to lose, if it sounds to good to be true, then it most likely is, and if you have reservations about a trade, use the middle-man insurance option.

Yeah we definitely need to be more proactive towards making a better trading experience for all. I think we should have like a vouch count with dates so people can get a better idea of who is a good trader. Also we need to post city, state, and zip codes tagged to usernames who turn out to be bad traders.

I mean metalmadman is still on the first page when you look at trust trade for example. It just needs cleaned up
