Well here i go!

Please don't forget to vote!​



I am proposing threads anywhere within the Marketplace/GT Section are only allowed to be posted by upgraded members, Minimum upgrade to be Donator and/or possibly Onyx.

This will prevent half of the people on there that only just created a account to scam, They have paid for something and this time they have something to lose. Rather than just joining and scamming someone, We always say:
"If it's too good to be true, It usually is".

Don't be fooled by newer members guys, Always look into deals before you actually go ahead and make the deal.

Positives of this Suggestion:
Prevent the possibility of scams.
Prevent the possibility of turboers.
More money for the Forum to grow.
Something to lose if you perform a scam. (AKA - Upgrade Money)

Negatives of this Suggestion:
None because it is for the best of the whole community.​

That's not the point, If people engaged more into the deal and think into what they're doing, There would be less scams.

Also if i was a scammer, I wouldn't pay $15-$30 just to pull a scam.
Members who just join usually don't pull high $ scams.

This is a great idea, and onyx should count as upgraded.

This is a horrible suggestion as random people couldn't sell tags and that is the only reason that FK is where it at right now; for its GT section. If we had all members upgrade to post threads we would never have any random nice tags pop up in the market again(like stadium for example). Also it doesn't really help much as one could simply buy donator for 7$ and scam someone still.

Like i said, Newer member who paid for Onyx would break even if they scammed.

If a newer member pulled over $100 in a scam. HOLY CRAP someone is dumb.

Also, I see where you are coming from and i appreciate the opinions. Thank you, Hope!

I just really believe our marketplace would vanish except for the people that already have upgrades and they don't post often or near as much as nonupgraded with the upgraded. It's like losing half the market.

And this poll is so biased as people scam even with upgrades(for example, Cesar). You should make it. Nothing changes instead of let members get scammed.

Honestly, Would it matter? Half the normal members have tags which are not even worth putting up for sale.

This is actually such a good idea, Hopefully this will reduce the amount of scammers and make the marketplace section safer.
I hope Philly takes this into consideration and does something about this.

It won't stop the scammers, but it will probably reduce the number of scams.

if you make it where you have to be upgraded the marketplace sales would go down because some of the non upgraded members are selling more items than upgraded members, but if you make it upgraded only it would reduce the scams, also you can really "trust" upgraded members either because they scam as well example "cold" , "dreams"

Cold never scammed, he just openly admitted to turboing. None of the tags he turboed were apart of a deal that he made himself.

Also why do you want the normal members posting? They're tags aren't worth posting anyway.

They can still offer trades and Post, PM other users.

I also have a marketplace suggestion, everybody use Western Union, MoneyPak, or Liberty Reserve. Fuck Paypal.

I think there should be a sub forum, one for upgraded only and the other for non and upgraded.
