I sincerely feel that there should be a LIMIT to how many orders MPGH users are able to accept at a time. Perhaps a way to implement it is by creating a new group of moderators who users have to arrange orders through? I'm sure there is a more effective method, such as creating some sort of script that keeps track of these things.
I remember an exit scam that occurred a couple weeks ago that I tried to warn Hova about before it actually came to fruition. The guy was taking several, several orders over the length of a few WEEKS and by the current rules he was able to continue. I knew it was fishy, so I complained in the thread and asked for a refund. He gave it to me only so he could ease everyone's fears so he could continue gathering "orders", and ultimately the exit scam happened.
Just food for thought. Others may have other methods of implementing a system for exit scam prevention.
*** SCAM PREVENTION TIPS ***
TIP #1:
ALWAYS check SCAMMERS GRAVE before sending money.
TIP #2:
High post count (1000+) is NO indicator of trustworthiness! The big exit scams tend to come from users with big post counts.
TIP #3:
Screen record entire "Autobuy" shop exchanges -> purchasing + testing the product. Record with a phone or camera if needed.
TIP #4:
"Don't pay SE'ers upfront, use a MM or pay on confirmation. If you do pay someone upfront, be prepared to take an L and possibly lose that money."
*** Conclusion ***
Be patient, take the extra time to protect yourself, and happy-safe trading to you all.

Spoiler tag won't open on mobile version of MPGH.
You ever tried implenting a trading system, much like ****? Where people can see open orders and trades with members. Therefore able to see what is up?

Do something about vouch copy begging. People like @Justice and @Allura are a disgrace. I have seen him literally sales trash when he gets denied lol
I agree new members need to give a vouch copy due to high number of exit scams but there should be a list of people in a thread (like all MM / Mods / staff) and the one approving the thread must link that thread in the first comment on the newly approved service for the seller to pick one person and give a vouch copy if he does not meet the requirements / if seller wants to give a vouch copy voluntarily. Assholes must be raping their refresh button to find new services to beg vouch copies. @Hova tagging you here as we discussed on skype.

Make it private

I did not sale trash. All I said was to be wary of a possible exit scam or other weird activity. I didn't say they scammed anyone or did wrong. Also, I've asked about a vouch copy twice in the past 2 months. Likewise, I've bought from you as well. What's with the targeting?
Allura (08-16-2017)
Show me where I sales trash when I get denied. Stop making up bullshit for your own benefit of attacking individuals. If you wanted to really improve the market you wouldn't have singled us out. Instead you decided to do just that and attack us. Because I do so many vouches, CUSTOMERS literally add me and ask me to do vouches for other sellers (because they don't trust the seller and after my vouch, they do trust them), my vouches help both the seller and the customer do a transaction.
It's impossible to find a refunder for cloths because they are scared to death. While those who created threads about it will continue to refund like a boss and earn.
Also like > it's mostly apple but i will drop some of them to earn < gg.
Just remove all those threads please or at least make it ONE only and put BOLD cloths partially are OK. So i can find a f**** refunder.
I am genuinely pissed off.

Here are my suggestions, To improve the marketplace section.
Note: I don't know if they have been suggested before so bare with me.
- Threads verifications, a user must have a outstanding number of post/rank doesn't bypass anything. everyone will be treated equally. threads much be vouched by a Middle-Man & a staff member. 45 reputation or more(can be changed). new users and activity seems off will be automatically denied for suspicious activity(prevent scams).
- Premium sellers should't be an image of being more trust worthy. someone can just purchase the rank and scam 1000$+, and get a profit.
- a thread feedback voting system should be implemented, in the bottom of the thread after the purchase members are allowed to vote if it's negative positive or neutral, also comments in those sections should be added so people can see why he gave him a bad review. Also if caught making fake reviews and didn't actually pay for the service/product can be punished accordingly.
- Work and Job Offers should be moderated accordingly cause can easily get people scammed.
Thats all thanks for reading hoping to get feedback on opinions in the staff about these suggestions.
Should possibly be a soft cap on number or limit of orders a person can take. No reason to take 50 orders and have the person barely have communication or do an exit scam. Multiple times I'm talking to sellers and it takes them close to a week to respond
