Credit to afem1010 for the idea of a middle man involved in trading/purchasing.

Afem is the one that originally posted it in the junior mod forum.

i got the idea from Georgestar...other than that, what do u think of the ideas?

Please refer back to the thread in the JM forum. This idea came from afem1010.

Actually credit should be given where credit is due for ideas that we're suggested that weren't from you as a matter of principle. That was the point of my original post. As for the ideas, they sound good to me.

Hi,

I know that there's been a lot of talk lately about improving the Autographs For Sale/Exchange Forum. I agree that something must be done about it. Here are just some ideas:

• -Have a middle man when trading (thanks to Afem101 for this idea).
  -Make it into more of an auction type thing (a Fanmil.biz Ebay...). This, of course, would only be done for purchasing, not trading.
  -If you are going to trade, you must give admin your contact information (this would ensure that you are trustworthy).
  -Get some sort of better system of moderating...I think that we should have some Moderators specific to this forum. If the moderators have suspicion, they can bring it to the Moderator Forum.

-Fudgemonkey

These are just some ideas. Feel free to comment!

1)I definately don't understand the middle man concept.
2)Making it more of an auction does absolutely nothing to improve the forum.
3)Giving Admin. your contact info. for selling or trading still does not guarantee either party of (being trustworthy)receiving payment or merchandise.Does Admin. really want to get caught up into being a collection agency?
4)As far as a better system of moderating, It depends on what mod. or mods. are chosen. Personally there is only one JM on here that I would feel comfortable moderating that forum.
