    There would be different time zones. So if only the people with the mm tag can middleman. What are they supposed to do? Wait a day to get on. I'm pretty sure they would just want to get the deal done. So i'd say you have to get a american person and an australian person to mm.

    Well actually, as shown in the statistics we released in our latest announcement, our ban rate is 10%-or about the same as MC-M, making only 3% of everyone get banned for scamming.

    The problem I see that could arise from implementing such is abuse, trust abuse. How are we to determine one's trustworthiness without an invasion of privacy? We'd be skewing middleman requests to a set group in which would thereby be granted the ability to make mass scamming sprees due to the lack of middleman diversity.

    Monitor them very closely. Take people accusing them very seriously. You'd be able to shut them down immediately after a scam if the person that accused them could provide sufficient evidence.

    This has been debated like 5 times in staff chat. It always loops back to the concern of people being ''too trustworthy'' and running of with some kids christmas cash

    Disagree, this places way too much trust on one person and leaves the whole community to like Jayson said, a huge exit scamming spree or something.

    The selection would have to be of people that we know wouldn’t ever scam. You can tell that off a personality. Like Jerry.

    oh yeah I know that, I wasn't agreeing nor disagreeing with the suggestion, just sharing what usually holds the suggestion back from being implemented.

    I agree with this and always will. This should only go to reputable dealers who buy/sell OG's or high priced items as they are less likely to run off with $10. E.g. Jerry and LonelyTree, neither of them have or will need to scam people on a site because they know it's morally wrong and wouldn't stoop that low. If it goes to anyone gaining rep through alt shops I can guarantee a scam would end up happening.

    His attitude and his credibility are two completely different things.

    Not sure if this is a joke or not..

    Another thing that might encourage this suggestion to require anyone eligible for the trusted rank to provide some sort of collateral such as personal info, name or address to Jayson or build.

    Verifying the authenticity would be a concern.
