Scroll through some of the reputations and see the reasonings. The reset did practically nothing. If you look you will see a lot of people getting rep from friends or merely because they gave someone a laugh. If anything, it is less abusable than the reputation system as EzTrader allows you to link the thread it was purchased from, give a brief description as well as a detailed description of the deal. We could also couple it with proof being required in the detailed description via screenshots, or the vouch could be nulled by staff. You said what if they sell cheap things to quickly accumulate vouches, but the flaw is that it is much easier to get reputation. I got about 30+ rep merely because I said something in the discord chat, do you think that isn't abusable or easy to get reputation?

Most forums implement something like this when starting out or they have something to help with it. Even if it doesn't dramatically boost the marketplacr activity, it allows for a "Reputation System" strictly for trades. Refer to my reply to the previous user above.

ie. MPGH's Vouch Thread sub-section; LF's Vouch System; NBB's Vouch System; SEnet's Vouch System. When @Noob was starting his [failed] website that prioritized in Warranty Abuse, that was one of the features a vast majority of members specifically requested before posting in marketplaces. I understand it may be more work put on for the staff, however it would only take a moment to setup and configure; you could even configure it so that the Vouches would ONLY show in the marketplace.



I would like someone to give me a reason as to why this SHOULDN'T be implemented - that I have not already addressed or countered. The forum may not be active in the marketplace, but there should still be a separate system for trades than rep, activity will likely pick up if people can see sellers and buyers are more trusted.
