The reason for the admins to delete our feedback was to help newer members of the community. They said it wasn't fair that we had so many and newer members could never reach our amount because they didn't seem trusted compared to us. That just backed up the fact that removing the feedback was a dumb idea.
Also, the only reason I'm still here is because somebody was demoted. Not going to name who, but somebody.
No. That was not why. He left because more than half his feedback was just taken away. Being number one doesn't matter. Being number two doesn't matter. Who cares about that. I could be last for all I care, but if I have a ton of feedback, I know I'll get more buyers.
Moderators can not take part in the marketplace due to one global mod scamming in the beginning of OSBot.
Sponsors are trustworthy, sure for 5$ trades and 2 Mil trades. But what're you going to do when there's a 50M trade going on? Are you going to go to a sponsor with 0 feedback and say "They aren't going to scam because of the amount of money they bought the title with"? Or are you going to go to the number one person?
Actually, forget the number one person, that number one person doesn't even have 50 feedback and he's been in the marketplace since April. New members wouldn't trust him either. What does that leave? There are no middlemen for huge trades.
