There are no requirements set out by the forum but unless you've done a lot of previous trades and your name carries some weight around here then please don't bother. You'll only get negbombed and for good reason. It's a sad fact that most people who set out or want to become an escrow usually do it for the wrong reasons and end up scamming. People should really fall into escrowing naturally and a good rule of thumb is if people haven't already been asking you to escrow their transactions then you're not needed or trusted to be one. Why would you even want to be an escrow anyway? Why should anyone trust you? How do we know you're not going to run off as soon as you get an amount you like the look of? It's a hell of a lot of work and for little reward if any so I'm always sceptical of users like you who want to hold on to others money for them.

Please only bump your thread once every 24 hours and remove the previous bump when you do. Thanks.

It's the NSA and you're on their watchlist.

Did you even read the op? He got caught by trying to register the same username he used on the darknet so he probably would have been anonymous had he not willingly tied his real name to it when he stupidly tried to trademark the dealer name he used.

Lower ranks are not updated earlier.

The trouble with that is the info needed to be able to successfully investigate and return accounts is only available and trusted to admins and even then it's not a huge priority as frustrating as that might be for users. I think we could do with another admin though especially if BadBear doesn't plan on returning from hibernation anytime soon. Hopefully he will but like I said probably more pressing matters to deal with.

This is never going to happen for reasons already stated. Not even mods have this priviledge and is only trusted with admins and for good reason. Giving people access to only half the info will cause more damage than good. I remember when BadBear became an admin and he said the first thing he did was check his account and it came up with loads of possible alts including a few big time scammers so without further info you could easily assume a upstanding user is a scammer.


It might stop a few who bother to use it but it will also enable a lot of the smarter ones. What happens when someone checks an account and it seems to be all clear but in reality he's just a really careful scammer or when a good, honest user has used a proxy that plenty of scammers also have? It will just lead to either a false sense of security or a whole lot of unnecessary paranoia.


Yes and that's why it wouldn't work and you need access to way more info to determine alts successfully.

Some people have been waiting months for account recovery so I wouldn't hold your breath.

I'm not sure what you want us to verify exactly? That you're not his alt because you traded with him? If so those PMs don't prove anything.

If you can't prove it's yours then it's possibly gone for good. Maybe if you could provide other sufficient evidence of it being yours to an admin they might help you out but I wouldn't count on it and account restorations are not a priority not to mention there's quite a few other people still waiting for theirs to be retrieved so it'll likely take some time if at all.

Image is showing fine for me though sometimes they need to be resized for being to big.


Well that's why we should consider removing the rule.

Why does bitcoin need a thread when it has an entire subforum  .

You could make 1 or 1000+ posts per fortnightly period and you would still only get a max potential of 14 activity.

I didn't remove it but it was probably reported as being off topic.

They can log in just not do anything with it (post, message etc).

It was banned on the 26th I believe. Not sure I understand the rest of your sentence but the hacker can still log in just not post.
