Zepher, thanks for the comments and advice here.
I had no idea that going about it this way was bad form.My intent with the offers I've made is two fold and totally on the up and up. I realize what it looks like. But I wasn't simply asking for trust. I was asking for the opportunity to be trusted with the assumption that formal documentation would be made based on the user's experience (good or bad).
I appreciate your honesty and willingness to educate me, others don't extend that courtesy.
To the OP, sorry for the interruption!
I'm willing to offer free escrow in exchange for positive trust ratings equal to the size of each transaction. Just PM me.
There is an unwritten rule on this forum -
Do NOT ask for trust.
I am sure your intentions are good, but you have zero rep here, and are sticking your escrow offers into multiple threads now (that I have noticed anyway).
There are a lot of escrows already on the forum that people will likely use before using you, due to the fact that you don't have any reputation here.
Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying that you shouldn't offer your services, but you are making this a bit blatant now.
Start small, open a thread stating you would like to start escrowing - but you need to stop with the unsolicited offers of escrow in others' threads.
Don't ask for positive trust ratings again. It is likely to result in you getting a red tag instead.
