Require video proof for monetizing? - ⒷⓊⒷⒷⓁⒺⓈ - Sep 15, 2012
So, I was looking at some of the threads in the monetizing section, and I realized that they all had pictures as proof. However, they weren't very good proof. I mean, I could very easily download some random guy's picture, and say
Quote:PayPal Payout - $50/hour - Easy! - Mediafire
Post and PM for method.
Proof:
[img]http://www.godviden.dk/paypal_payment.png[/img]
Therefore, I thought it should be required to post video evidence with any of those kinds of threads. Because even a picture with a name that says something like "Raj™ HF" in a notepad file could be very, very easily PhotoShopped. The video should (if done correctly) show them going to their account that received the payout (PP, LR, etc.), showing proof of the payout, and some type of proof linking the video to they're HF account.
If this has already been suggested, please PM me.
If it will be a definite no, can a mod please close the thread?

I don't think that this will ever happen, but I honestly couldn't care less if it does. I guess it could help.

All deals on HackForums are at your own risk. Wont happen.

You are aware that what he's suggesting in not considered a "deal", right?

Yeah but Video's can be manipulated as well, not as easily as a screen shot, but it can be done.

While this would help, it would be a pain. Deals are at your own risk so just make sure you ask the person you are buying from to provide video proof. If they fail to do so and you don't trust them, don't buy their product.

Proof can be easily faked, nothing would change.

That's what vouches are for. If a member has 40+ vouches, it's more than likely it works.

Sorry for I haven't checked my threads in a while and I just fixed my laptop
But on topic...
What if it's a really good e-book, but no one's willing to vouch because it just came out and they don't see that anyone else has vouched?

If this happened, I would never do a deal under $200 on Hf again.
If people are smart, they won't get scammed.
Edit:
Oh, I misunderstood. This is useless still. I could easily make fake proof, even with video.
