Scam Report [open] Will Add a Color/Message/Scam Report Bar to Profile. - Gørilla - Apr 20, 2015
I'm not sure if this has been suggested, I searched but I'm not really positive on what exactly you would call it.
So here's my idea(take credit if you've suggested this).
If you have an open scam report, then a moderator of that subforum will deam it worthy enough to add a message under a user's username OR change the user's username a different color such as red and when clicked it will bring you to the scam report. This will allow you to see if you can trust this user or not.
features:
- colored username/message under(or beside) the username
- when clicked links to scam report
- deal dispute forum moderator will only be allowed to add/remove the colored tag/message from user
- If a hack forums group leader requires no open scam reports, this can speed up recruitment processes/clean up recruitment threads since there's no point in applying when they can see you have an open report.
I think this would be a GREAT addition because it will lower scammers drastically because people will be able to see if the person they're dealing with has an open scam report or not. This also will help with a group if they require no scam reports. Leaders can just see the profile and deny them, seeing they have an open report.
There are many positive sides to this feature and I feel like the only downside is that the deal dispute section would be blown up and that you'd need to add another moderator to help with deal disputes to speed up this hopefully implemented process. (just a thought).
So in closing, I think this will definitely be a great addition because people can see the severity of a scam report by the color of their scam report meter/message/username color.
If this has been suggested by someone please give them the credit, I can't remember if I just had a dream about this or maybe was scrolling one day and came across this. I searched but didn't find anything, refer to top.

This would be too much work for the staff. They don't get involved with deal disputes anyways.
However, there is an extension that already does this. I can't remember the name of it but you can add it to your browser and users with open disputes will have their username red throughout the forum. You can then hover over the username and see links to any of the open disputes against them.

Ahh, I had a feeling I saw it, but was just making sure. Thanks, I'll close this thread since Omni already has been notified about something like this!:).

Why would this reduce scamming dramatically? Are you saying users are too lazy to manually search the disputedb themselves? Maybe I should have them send me a PM before every deal so that I can search myself for the user.

We don't get involved in deals or deal disputes.
Tired of this stupid ideas shit. Might be time to close the suggestion forum again.
