So if someone is selling my items on a thread and I write on his thread that he is trying to scam people how would that work? I posted some pictures of my items and 3 days later this guy makes a new thread using the same pictures and selling the same items. I posted on his thread to be aware of him and my message got erased...
Did you use our report button or opened a thread in our Support Area regarding this issue? If you created images for your thread they're your intellectual property and shouldn't be ripped off right away.
And they probably got erased because it was before the change of rules.

And as for unfair negative reviews? I have one that would like to get rid off. The negative trade I have is because the guy scammed me and gave me negative review..
We also got a support form for that. Unfortunately you don't have the necessary badges so you could only try the last bullet point in our form. If the guy was clearly a scammer (and got banned for that) we might do something about it. Otherwise the other user always has to agree to delete ratings.

What do you think about a necessity to provide some proof for negative feedback when a transaction isn't registered in the trade system?

Maybe an Ad-Blocker or your System Security (for example Kaspersky, Norton, Bitdefender, etc.) blocked the script. Did you check that? Did you try another browser?

Now let's get to the changes!



Fundamental Changes to the Black Market Rules


First of all, you may have noticed that in the Black Market you will find one of the following two badges above each post:

https://www.elitepvpers.com/forum/mw...fied_trade.png

https://www.elitepvpers.com/forum/mw...fied_trade.png

What's that all about? Well, it's basically the same as "verified purchases" at Amazon. It indicates whether there is a trade in our system for the respective post. In other words, if someone leaves their feedback in a thread, you can now immediately tell whether the user has actually traded with the thread creator or not. If you click on the badge, you will see a list of trades between the respective user and the thread creator. With this you can now assess the credibility of a given feedback on your own and make a well-founded decision on whether you want to trust it or not.

This comes with the removal of one of our oldest rules: From now on we will no longer delete negative feedback (unless it contains insults or violates other forum rules)!

Until now, all negative feedback has been prohibited as there is a rating system for exactly this purpose, which is only available to people who have actually traded via our system. This was our attempt to prevent unfounded accusations as we cannot check every single post for correctness. For a long time we have been refusing to remove the rule, because in principle everyone could simply create a fake account and spam wrong feedback into a competitor's thread. Now that everyone can check if there are any real trades related to a given feedback, we don't consider it as problematic anymore.

Additionally, this change has the positive side effect that you can now recognize fake feedback much easier and also warn other users by posting your feedback directly into the respective threads, not just by giving negative ratings. All in all this should also give another incentive to use our trade system since verified feedback posts look significantly more trustworthy.

By the way: Occasionally there was some confusion around this, so we'll clarify it once and for all: You are allowed to create trade requests for vouches. While you are not allowed to rate them, because ratings are only allowed for real trades where you give something in return, you can and should always create a trade request. This way your vouch feedback will be marked as verified, too.

We know that this is a very drastic change, but over the years it has become clear that the community does not approve this kind of censorship of negative posts. We have finally fulfilled this wish, because we despise scammers just as much as you and don't want them on our platform. We hope that you will this change as much was we do!

I guess people who are trustworthy, "experienced" in looking trough different kinds of evidence/accusations, dont want money and have enough time to go trough the evidence.


Using the Trade System and the PM System is the easiest way to manage the evidence.

I dont see any problem in using the Trade System and PM System.

Damn I misread yours and ReallyNiceGuy´s post, thought u guys wanted a "system" so that people who didnt used the tbm system get support.

You guys are right, only people who used the trading system should be allowed to post negative stuff.

somebody should create a thread on suggestion section what mods think about this, because this news update gives problems to legit sellers with no prior selling history aswell as scammers but the legit ppl shouldnt take harm just to stop scammers.

Banned or trade restricted people gets rated as unverfied trade , even if youve traded with them. Bug, or meant to be? Love the update.
