[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1506714, member: 36230"]While I understand your point, the fact is a post count on an online forum has nothing to do with character. This is the "key" to a successful trade? Sorry, but no.. just as ebay feedback can be meaningless, so can be post from anonymous and unknown persons. On the other hand, basic common sense can go a long way. Define "talking with". Is a polite and respectful conversation enough, or should the other party be expected to ramble on for hours? As written, I find this to be nonsense as you cannot judge someone on their willingness (or lack of) to let you into their life just to make a trade/sale, especially if a low-dollar one. Not everyone has the time or desire to do so, nor should it be expected. That said, mutual respect and understanding can do much to ensure a smooth transaction. Feedback: take a look at some of the biggest dreck dealers on ebay. After doing so you might want to rethink how valuable a feedback number is. Post count: anyone wishing to take advantage of others could easily make the small effort to nail down 100 posts, so this too would do nothing to ensure successful transactions. Likes: absolutely meaningless. Post a few coins in the newps thread and you are bound to be "liked" many, many times. I am not trying to knock your ideas, but show that in the big picture, such things would have little (if any) effect on making this a safer place to conduct business.[/QUOTE]
