The Goods board is more of a marketplace too where trading is so active, and it's a haven for scammers. However, I was surprised to discover that the type 1 trust flag banners like the one below are not displayed there. Why?

I sometimes see some scammers with locked and self moderated threads, which means newbies or guests who don't know about trust ratings may end up getting victims since there are no trust flag warning banners.

Edited:
To specify the type of flag that does not show (Type 1 flag)

How about reading this one below it seems there is a little adjustment on trust flags. It was posted around 2019 so maybe there are more changes on trust flags but I couldn't find the newest posted by theymos. Anyway the link below should explain a bit about the yellow and red flags. Maybe the yellow one doesn't show to us but it shows on non registered users or if you are not login but the red one will always show with or without login.

Are you sure the warning doesn’t show up? It won’t show up for you anywhere (assuming you have been logged in for long enough). You need to check while you are not logged in.

Yeah, I meant the yellow one, not the red ones. I have edited the post accordingly, and It has been clarified. Thanks.


I wasn't logged out in one of the tabs while viewing the goods board, so I wasn't seeing the warning banner on some scammer's post and thought it was some glitch.
