New Rep Warning - spiral - Aug 11, 2018
Really think the warning when you view rep is a great feature. Should hopefully reduce the number of new users getting scammed. One more thing that I think should be added would be another warning maybe when viewing profiles or just when you go into the marketplace to search the UID before making a deal.

Yes the new warning is designed to help prevent scams, especially against newer members who might think that reputation means trust (which it does NOT). More will be written and provided over time to help prevent scams and inform members about the Marketplace. Keep in mind that new members receive a PM upon registration that does go in to some detail about HF's Marketplace.

We are getting closer and closer to making things so simple that it’s impoasible to fuck up.
