 #1 Posted: 31 May 2012 06:53 pm Post subject: Trading using the 2/3rd's Rule |
 |
|
This may seem familiar/irrelevant to many users, but this is for the people who have no idea what the 2/3rds rule is.
When a user is requesting you trade first by means of the 2/3rd's rule, he/she has any combination of more posts/gold on hand/better join date than you have.
For example:
User A joins January 20th, 2012
User A has 500 posts
User A has 2000FG on hand
User B joined March 13th, 2011
User B has 800 posts
User B has 100FG on hand
If either user requested that the trade be done using the 2/3rd's rule in this example(Usually the person who has the greater combination), then the trade would start out with A trading upfront to B, because B has more posts, and a better join date, even though user A has more forum gold on hand.
If you have more to lose, then people will probably be more likely to consider trading up front to you. Remember, it is always safer to trade with a mediator, but the 2/3rd's rule can be helpful in many cases!

The 2/3rd's rule is pointless and has no relevance to how trustworthy a user is.
Terrible idea, Greg. No offense.
Posts/FG/Join Date means absolutely NOTHING when it comes down to how trustworthy someone is.

I'm going to disagree based on the fact that if a user has 20,000FG, and an 09 join date, he is going to not want to lose his forum gold, and his account for scamming. I'm not saying it makes them more trustworthy, it will just make them more cautious if they are concerned about their forum account.
Also, it's not "my idea" it's a concept that's been floating around for ages, I just wanted to organize it into a thread so people could see it.
Please don't bash my thread, I paid for the topic title.

It is not a bad idea, sir. Yet every scheme has its flaws  .
Do not let that discourage you, however. This is by no means stupid.

No doubt man, just trying to give people some insight on another method they can use to keep their trading safe 
Mediator is of course, the best way to go always!

 Is this D2JSP now?
I'm not bashing your thread, I'm expressing my opinion. Which is the reason for this section, right?
2/3rd's is not a good way to trade, sorry to hurt your feelings. |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the reason for this section was to provide users with information on how the website works(rules), and how to do things on the site(support).
It's not a "discussion" forum per se, instead a forum for users to stumble upon a plethora of information which can be used to make their experience more enjoyable on D3jsp.
I'm not saying it's perfect, but I'm saying it's just one more step toward making a safe trade. If you wanna discuss this further, please talk to me in a PM, as I don't want to flood this thread with arguments. I'm not making anyone use this method, I'm just letting people use it and know about it if they wish.

that'd mean I'd have to send first to you. wouldn't happen.
join date is not an indicator of how trustworthy a person is. much less so your post count or current fg .

This idea is similar to crossing the street, sometimes things just don't work out.
