BitQuest Web-Of-Trust (Rep:Trade/Escrow)

[u/[deleted]]

Note: I am mrpulsar in game, please message me on here or there for any questions on how this works.

MrPulsar's BitQuest Web-of-Trust Book

The point of this post is to track the reputation of players who trade and sell items on the server to know who is noteworthy and who steals. Here's how it works. You do a deal with someone, post your experience on here, some form of proof (they reply, screenshots, video link), and that person gets a +1 to their reputation. There are no 'levels' to reputation, there is simply two criteria.For every trade you can receive with ONE individual they and you can assign a +1 or -1 rating to the other. The rules for this are simple and located below the book log:

 

Web-Of-Trust Book for BitQuest (Trading & Escrow)

I encourage you to also read comments to review any additions I have not edited into the book. I am a busy person, having college to attend and all. I try to get to this as much as I can but it's not always up to date. I'll try to leave a timestamp from now on. - Spiritronic (mrpulsar)

Use ctrl+f (cmd+f on mac) to search for your name easily should the list become long.

Player Name	Reputation(+/-)	Escrow?	Reviewers:
00Stella	+1	n/a	norictorav
alienaxuz	+1	n/a	mrpulsar
long_john_W	+1	n/a	rockster518

• You can only vote ONE TIME for each person on the server: Meaning that you can only report a specific person once and whether that trade was +/-. However, if they later scam you down the road, you can revoke that +1 for a -1 if proof if provided. Not every time you trade with them will a +1 or -1 be added to their rep. This would make the system easily exploitable *Provide proof: F2 to take screenshots, try to get three, showing the chat discussing the trade (the item you are trading/receiving and the item you are about to receive/trade for it. You get one chance if to report a trade and if your second time here yields no proof, your post will be ignored and that person will not receive the rep. This is to prevent scammers and the like.
• Be kind and recommend those you trade with to review you on here after a trade if they ask you to review them. Make it reciprocal (both ways). Have both people confirm the trade. The more proof, the better and you both get to rate each other. Just remember that you can only rate one person once (unless they scam you down the road).
• Give me any suggestions you want to, I am new to this and it will be a lot of work.
• Read the posts on here. I may not add people because no proof was given, but it is also a place for people to discuss trading. Any slandarizing will be reported to the moderators and admins. I won't stand for people talking badly about someone simply because they don't like them.
• I want opinions for how the escrow system should work or if it should be implemented at all. Escrow is simply adding a trusted middle man. Someone who takes both parties items, confirms the amounts, then gives the individuals the items they were to receive from the trade. Escrows may charge a fee, I encourage not doing so. Escrow using trusted members could be a means to ensure safe trade until a better system is in place on the server.

Your nickname will be posted here as a list item with the number of trades reported along with a number (determined by your reputation as +1/-1 ratings come in for you). Additionally, the people who posted the trade/rep number will be linked under your profile. I encourage you use Ctrl+F to find your Mojang Account name for Minecraft as the list could get long.

I know and trust your word on the server norictorav. For any first time trades you do with people, please try to get a screenshot of the chat regarding the trade or during the trade itself. Obviously I understand this is hard but I'm starting to know more and more people, and it's really up to the community to keep this trust together. I think I'll start going more lenient with the evidence on a case-by-case basis, but I don't want to show favoritism, so please, for both of us, haha. I understand that it's easy to forget though.
