I am brand new to sythe! ( I know this should go in introductions, but that's not the main part of this thread)

Hello everyone, I am new to this site and do not know very much about it. That's why I am asking for help! I want to become a trusted member so I can buy/sell/trade on this website. I do not know how to go about becoming and trusted member or making transactions within a game, specifically Runescape. I do have MSN, if someone would help me out, it would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Oro

You can become trusted by increasing your post count, helping out others, start with lower transactions then slowly move to high, etc; Don't ask for trust just let it come naturally.

To become trusted, you need to be quite active and prevent from attempting to scam anyone. Most trustworthy people like me look at the creation date and the post count and also the quantity of vouches you have on the account. Just show people that you are legit and you can be trusted and by making one stupid move, it can get you a ban.

Just try and gain a lot of vouches. Vouches is trust. But bare in mind the higher the amount traded the better.

1. Posts mean nothing. It just shows how much they spam (

, not saying I do lol)
Viou has under 1k posts, and is highly trusted.
I have over 1k posts and not as trusted as him.
Posts mean nothing (They mean something, just nothing important to decide a trade outcome)
2. Quantity of vouches is not a good way to look at it. Look at the QUALITY of them.

OT, you need to start by doing small trades, and building your way up. Use OMM's if you must, do not be stupid. Do not scam.
In my GP selling, I have not gone first.. ONCE. (Was all mainly for 50m, 47.50$ trades.)

I would agree with the Vouch part. It's quality>quantity. But, I disagree with the post count. I do know it's very easy to just get your post count up and any newcomer can do that. But overall, if a person has a good amount of vouches and are well deserved and as bonus they have a high post count. It shows people that they are very active in the community and that they should be treated according to how trusted and active they've been.

I agree with his post count part post count shows how active you are to the community and how much you like it and aren't willing to use it.

I have 30 vouches Because I am known pin seller and gold seller and gold buyer does that mean I'm not trusted? I have some good 100 + usd vouches and some low 10 Usd vouches I consider my self trusted.'

Also join date try to trade with people with a old join date like 07 *You looked at my join date didn't you*

Painted Rain · #10 03-13-2011, 08:24 PM

I'll tell you how I started (because after all, who would trust me when I joined in March and had no vouches).

You do small trades at first and FORCE the other person to go first in the tiny trade. Once you get vouches for the other person going first to you, you slowly gain some reputation. Continue this on larger and larger trades.

Also, NEVER refuse to use an OMM or highly trusted MM such as n4n0. If you use Middlemen, you prove your legitimacy. MM's are helpful, not detrimental.

Oro · #11 03-14-2011, 12:06 AM

Ok, so I have 30m that I want to sell. Is that considered a small trade?

Painted Rain · #12 03-14-2011, 12:28 AM

That is considered a relatively small trade. Not tiny - but not quite medium.

MM's are completely unneeded in my opinion.

Quality Vouches, Trades with other legitmate Buyers/Sellers. Post count mean nothing, as you can see from the 3 banned traders in my sig. It's all about market activity, not general posting.

Plznate *BANNED* · #15 03-14-2011, 05:10 AM

Post count does mean something in my opinion. If you trade someone with 4k posts, the likelihood of them scamming you for a small trade is minimal since the risk of a ban outweighs the potential gain more often then not.

Colbinile · #16 03-14-2011, 05:20 AM

Thats true with smaller trade values, but its hard to say the same when the amount is from hundreds to thousands in value.

Three Examples -

Lambda - 789 posts - Join Date: 07-21-2010 - Banned for recovering an account from two seperate buyers, and trying to sell it a 3rd time.

.:Goreonius:. - 595 posts - Join Date: 01-29-2009 - Banned for scamming 150M using an account sale.

mirsh - 619 -Join Date: 11-07-2007- Banned for recovering an account sold for 110M.

Even with these guys, I dont see wasting up to 3 years of time on these boards to get 100-200$, but some people have a different mentality. Sad but true.

What he said ^

Few people will spend hours a day, dozens of hours a week, and hundreds of hours a month, posting on sythe and being active just to scam.

There actually a LOT of people like this. Not in the way you are thinking that is (going out in a mass scamming blaze of glory)

There are trusted people on this site who cherry pick who they scam. When they see Feb join dates with 10 posts they scam small amounts from them knowing that no one would take their word and they were not aware enough to ask for a pm or take screenshots.

So to avoid that second level of "legit scammers", make sure you always ask for pms and point out to people that you are filming the trade.

Don't insult people when doing this though, for example "I'm filming you so don't try and scam me". Just casually say before the trade "one sec mate I just gotta get camtasia going"

Good luck
