Hey HF!

If this has been suggested before, please let me know, could not find any examples of this, already posted, so here I go...

When we post on a thread or post a thread, we get this grey box under our name with stats regarding our accounts, which I love!

However, have seen a lot of new members been tricked by a positive B-rating with 0 negative B-ratings, where someone exit scams and the new HF users as buyers, did not go to check the actual profile of the exit scammer. Which means, from a thread viewpoint, a member with +rep and +b-ratings could still be perceived as a "trusted" seller, unless you know where to look. (their profile obviously)

So I believe it could be beneficial and hopefully prevent a few scams, if an active deal dispute counter would be added to the grey stats box or if it could appear, when someone has opened 1 or more disputes on them.

Where I think Active HF Deal dispute count should be added:

To further my cause, I found an example immediately on HF Deal Disputes:

Let me hear what you think! :)

Deal dispute counters/links are displayed on profiles and in bolded red text.

You should always view the profile of someone you want to deal with.

I know it is, new members are not aware of this, which means that some users could be saved from scams, if it was added to the grey statistics box.

It is only a suggestion though, thought it might add value in preventing/deterring scammers.

I personally think it's a great idea from OP, new users will most likely come here blind and exchange in a deal where they might not know that person is exit scammer etc. but shouldn't new users have some sort of responsibility to read the Help Docs when joining? Don't get me wrong I think this is great addition for anyone new or old regardless, but it comes with a click of a button to reveal ones market profile. Also, it states clearly the directions of using the HF marketplace in the Help Docs and if new users don't feel like reading that then I feel like they shouldn't be dealing in the first place.

I think if we really want to stop new members from being scammed we should just close registration. Just like I'm closing this thread for being a cunt idea.
