Title: Trust list recommendation
Post by: Raize on August 15, 2015, 03:56:00 AM
It would be nice if we could tweak our trust lists or -- in whatever the new trust system is -- to say that we do not vouch for people who have not been active for X number of days when our last trade with them was Y number of days ago. I'd be genuinely upset that someone had a bad trade with a person who I had previously given positive trust to two years ago but had gone mostly inactive and/or later sold their account. Part of me worries about that presently with at least two or three of the people I've already given positive feedback for.

I'm sorry if this has been brought up before, I just wanted to mention it as a feature I'd be interested in.

Don't worry, this wasn't directed specifically at you, but a few others that have went entirely missing. I'm thinking that maybe the length of time since last trade combined with a user's sustained activity level should be some form of metric in how likely they are to honor a current trade.

I'll be honest, I rarely post myself compared to the rate I did in say, 2011 and 2012 so I don't fault you for anything! I just think an account that goes inactive for a long period of time is more likely to come back pushing some form of scam (via a sold account maybe) than one that is regularly active.
