I don't know which way this forum is going to lean. More towards general discussion of Runescape, more towards the botting aspect, or if you're going to attempt to gain the 'marketplace' side of the dark underground, and that's the way this suggestion is going.
First off, look at RSBot. They have 200K members, over 80K active. The most active section is the marketplace. What do they do, and what am I suggesting?
Forum: Sales
Subforum: Verified Sales
The main forum of sales would be for any sales, GP, accounts, pins, etc. The subforum would be for verified sales, such as mod proof that the user has the Pin, GP, accounts, etc. Of course the people that verify should only be very trusted members, because of the value of the items they're verifying.
Forum: Services
At this time I don't think we'll need a verified subsection for services, but it would be nice to see some people start up Souls Wars, Goldfarming, Xfering, and other services.
Forum: Middleman
This would be a nice forum, and would attract some donations. Only people with a certain status, say Donater, plus a certain amount of posts, and a certain amount of time on RF would be some requirements.
Forum: Scam Reports
Subforum: Archive
Just like RSBot, and quite unlike HF, I believe we should have a LEGIT scam report section. I was so pissed off at the way HF handled scams, I do NOT want this site to be like that. Each scam report must follow a STRICT layout, with strict proof. Regardless of whether the user scammed or not, it should be archived so users that are looking to buy or sell can read them and see the outcome. I'd be willing to set up the layout if you needed. As always, a certain day ban and warning on their account for first offense, second is perm banned is my suggestion for punishments.
There are others, but this would be just to start us off. Like I said, if you're not going for this angle of Runescape, don't add them.
Debate!
