Trust Scan - Ub3r Denial Status - kawaii - Jun 10, 2015
https://hackforums.net/trustscan.php
I can't find the reference post I was going to use for this thread but I assure you - it exists somewhere.
Anyway. I figure that the trust scan should notify if a member has been denied UB3R in the past or even permanently.
I seem to recall prominently that part of Omni's evaluation of a member when deciding if they are eligible for UB3R takes into account how much of a threat that particular member could be to the community - and yes, they were his exact words more or less.
Disclaimer: just because a member is UB3R doesn't mean you should deal with them rather than dealing with a L33T or normal member. UB3R members are not necessarily more trustworthy than anyone else.
It could even be argued that some of the largest scam reports (valid, true, false or otherwise) were created on the grounds that an UB3R member had scammed.
However, it is important to take into account that Omni has a pretty good eye for these things. As an administrator of this site I feel that it would be a disadvantage to not utilize his opinion of a particular member when deciding on whether or not to do a transaction with them.

I like this, I believe this should be added.

It's a good idea. Should give a clear idea of being more careful when dealing with the user.

This would be a great feature to have.

Would you consider me an untrustworthy member?
I'm permanently denied.
I'm not trying to counter the fact that this should be included, but rather make myself an example.
I've never scammed in my duration of over two years on the forum, and when I'm active, usually deal with members online daily.
Personally, I feel the acceptance of Ub3r has a bit more than just his viewed threat level of you, as I was permanently denied while I had the largest currency exchange at the time(aside from SWS.), and thousands of posts cross-the-board.

I don't think this really means much. The process of being approved for Uber is vague enough that your approval status should not change if someone wants to deal with you or not. I think if there was some clearly defined process to be approved this might make sense, but there isn't, so permanent denial doesn't mean much per se.

i've been perm denied in the past and got denied again when i applied last year, doesn't mean i'm going to scam anyone though, i barely even use the marketplace and when i have people have trusted me anyway
just go look at all the cunts in the deal disputes that do scam and are ub3r, means nothing.

I won't be adding that statistic.
