I feel this needs to be addressed, even coming from me someone who has only seen such a short amount of time of Forum Korner I can already tell right now times are getting very rough sketchy, and there are a lot of ''respected names'' scamming out, and just scam's in general going on. Everyday I have come online to see multiple scam reports, and or attempted scams that are getting caught (thankfully).
However, there are way too many scams that are going on, and I am seeing some people try to throw shade toward Forum Korner as a whole in a negative demeanor which is not correct at all. This community does have a handful of very honorable and reputable people that have put forth a lot of time and money into this community. At the end of the day, I have noticed that majority of users have huge ego problems, and as important as reputation and honor is, doesn't mean you can just let your ego get the best of you and act out of line.
I feel the 'Middle Man' position is really being disregarded and left out in a day-to-day basis here in FK, everyone has too big of an ego to want to use one, because they don't trust etc etc.
Currently there is the rank "Verified" which requires you to submit extensive personal information that binds to you given if you ever become malicious you have A LOT to lose.
I think that we should start implementing a modification to this rank and turn it into an official/unofficial 'Middle Man' rank, where people will be picked out and chosen to do so, as to be Middle Men for FK. If any transaction worth batting an eyelash over always had a middle man involved, I can absolutely guarantee that majority (80%+) of scams will come to a halt for certain.
I think all of this needed to be said, because I have just seen the scams get progressively worse and more reputable names becoming malicious, and it all really can be prevented no matter what.
