So, reading glasderg's post about beign ripped, and noting that MOTL does not have 'jurisdiction' to ban people based on shady trading practices on other sites.Maybe open a forum where mods from other trading sites could archive data about Confirmed Rippers / Bad Traders? Or open up a big Bad Trader forum to make searching easier? As in: - Magic Online Trading League --- Bad Trader Alerts --- Confirmed Bad Traders - Wizards.COM Boards --- Bad Trader Alerts --- Confirmed Bad Traders - MTG Salvation --- Bad Trader Alerts --- Confirmed Bad Traders - MTG News --- Bad Trader Alerts --- Confirmed Bad Traders - Brainburst --- Bad Trader Alerts --- Confirmed Bad Traders - Ligamagic --- Bad Trader Alerts --- Confirmed Bad Traders etc etc etc. Daunting? Yes. Good idea? Yes. Keep a universal list of Bad Traders, easy reference, easy to search, a good service to the community.

i think its a good idea, just seems like it would be too hard to keep up with. on wotc, we have incorporated a small idea, if someone is banned from motl(for bta reasons ofcourse), they immediatly go on the warning list. and even this is hard to keep up with.__________________ your ubb survivor 10 champion!!

Agreed, a good idea. I volunteer some of my own time to help compile and update the list, if it's necessary.__________________ "I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

Heh, daunting is an understatment! I'm not sure that the server could handle so much extra (of course, I know almost nothing about Computer hardware..) I'm also not so sure it'd work. We have different criteria on MOTL than they do on the other boards. Plus, keeping up with just out BTA is hard enough, we're supposed to keep up with 5 other sites BTA cases? Not to mention the amount of people that should never have been posted, or if the person who got posted was actually in the right and they poster was wrong. Perhaps just a combined effort for CBT's. I wouldn't mind working with Mods of other forums to come up with a combined list of confirmed rippers.

Confirmed is probably 100x better than trying to keep up with current cases.__________________ Need signed/altered and P3K cards. Current # signed: 28 (including signed proofs) Current # altered: 9 (including altered proofs)

How about, at the very least, links to other (reputable) boards' confirmed lists/search function?__________________ "I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

now that's not a bad idea. As per the original request, people scarcely check out the BTA and CBT let alone check out other site's BTA's. A link to other site's BTA's would be nice though, for those extra conscientous traders.

Agreed. I have a hard time navigating the WOTC boards. I've never actually found their trading board, yet. __________________ Mess with the best, die like the rest. Boltbait: pyr0ma5ta speaks the truth.

Agreed. If the proper links are created then finding the information should be short and simple.

MTGSalvation Confirmed ListWOTC Confirmed List MTGNews' Suspected/Confirmed List I've noticed that all of these sites have links to other lists (ours as well). Hah. Oh, and Pojo's list is pretty much useless as far as I can see.
There are probably others, so feel free to link 'em up--it'll save someone some footwork. EDIT: One thing that also needs to be determined is where the links should go, since they should be fairly prominent. I think that the confirmed forum is probably best. Maybe as an announcement that, when clicked on, gives you the various links? __________________ "I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think they will sing to me." -T.S.

If you've used *nix at all, you would know the cat command In other news, every other forum has a rules page, so why couldn't the confirmed forum have a rules page with said links? __________________ Mess with the best, die like the rest. Boltbait: pyr0ma5ta speaks the truth.

Wouldn't this be so much easier to implement as BTA subforums that are simply links to the appropriate BTA thread/subforums on the other forums? This would eliminate the need for their mods to update threads here, as well as any bandwidth cost that Leshrac wouldn't want to pay.__________________ Annorax DCI Level 1 Judge, RetiredClick here to get $100 free on PartyPoker

As Goaswerfraiejen suggested, would it satisfy the request to put an announcement at the top of the forum with links to other BTA forums of other sites? That seems like the easiest solution.

Sounds good. Don't forget to include links to whatever search function the forum has. I still can't figure out how to navigate the WOTC forums. __________________ Mess with the best, die like the rest. Originally posted by Boltbait: pyr0ma5ta speaks the truth.

That sounds like a good idea, if someone would like to go and find me the links (I don't know a lot of the other sites out there) I'd be more than happy to put up another announcement.
Thanks, Jazaray

I'm going to leave this thread open in case someone wants to post a link to another Bad Trader list. (Other than that, let's keep the chatter down.
