Administrators Falling Pizza Posted April 7, 2008 Administrators Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Although I agree card for points trading is the only surefire way to ensure no one is scammed, it's a little bit risky because points are an electronic implementation and can, and have been accidentally erased before. If we were to have card-for-card trading again, we could make it so that new traders would have to send their end of the deal first. We could implement a trading function to the site so reputation points could only be given when a trade has been completed. Either way though, card-trading is extremely risky VIA the internet, and I don't think it's a good idea to re-implement it to the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I agree, We should give it another shot. Some people could really benefit from bringing it back :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Falling Pizza Posted April 7, 2008 Administrators Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Chaos Pudding: As I said before, points can and have been accidentally erased before. That's completely out of the hands of the trader, and results from an accidental loss of data on the site. Such an event would be catastrophic if points were used as legitimate currency, and for that reason, I don't think points-for card trading would be a good idea.

No. A thousand times no. It will never, ever be perfect. There will never, ever be a way to control it. It just fails badly. Go to eBay and have fun.

Father Wolf Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 agreed 100%but i also think you need a 15+ rep to also do it too but i suppose that is common since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fh-Fh Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Yeah, and its kinda hard to get reps..aside from contests which mean little. And Graphic design, also small, unless you say help someone, or stand up for someone (which happens rarely) you can't get reps. Look at NP Sage, Elite member with 11 reps, and God GAK with 403 because of his shop (mostly). You get the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NP Sage Posted April 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Yeah, So In the event we can't get it back anyone open to a third site? It might take some time to set up but we will get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
