Sythe's black market has a vouches section in which users create one thread in which other members post vouches (or if a trade didin't go well) so buyers can all see the legitmicamy of past sales of users. I know unlike sythe that we don't have very many/any scammers at all but it would be nice to have a section like this.

I don't think so. The community is small enough anyways, and anyone who scams will get bant anyways.

Can already report trading abuse, so I don't really think we need it.
Scammers will be dealt with really quickly around here.

This would be nice for people who have just gotten into trading and need a good place to start, I like this idea. Honestly though it should just be a stickied thread in the BM section, an entirely new section shouldn't be created for it.

Well yeah, scammers will be banned anyways since we are so small, but the other part of having it is for newer users who the BM to see which sellers have a good reputation.

I like this idea. Perhaps a "Verified Sellers/Buyers" thread would do the trick. If the person is a trusted member of the community and active in the BM they could be added, along with anyone else who may be considered a trusted seller/buyer.

I don't agree with the above. Marking people as trusted will give a false sense of hope. Sure, they may be considered more trusted, but in doing so people may "go slacker" on common anti-scam tactics.

Well unless you personally know you can trust someone you should use caution anyways. If you don't and something bad happens it's really your own fault, which should be stated in the thread if it is to be made.

When trading the hard part to decide is who to go first.
