Donald Trump 333 Posted June 25, 2017 This post is a proposal for a new staff position to be implemented. The role can be called "Market Manager" and is similar to the SDN manager, their main duties could be: To rid the sections of old & inactive posts. Regularly check on negative feedback and follow it up for a potential dispute. Regularly check on all feedback to ensure it follows the rules. Vet all the new/existing sellers on their advertisements & generally any previous offsite scams or anything else that could damage the community. Maintain a topic that is a database for scammers that have targeted our community. Maintain a pinned topic on each section that outlines the most used sales topics. Current Market Issues: An abundance of inactive/old posts. Plenty of negative feedback that isn't followed up by a dispute. Plenty of positive feedback that doesn't follow the rules. Duplicate topics. Disclaimer: I have expressed that I'll do this role but obviously I have conflict of interest (shouldn't matter) and my staff application was declined anyway. So if you think this is an attempt for me to become a staff member then you're thinking wrong. - Please post opinions below, maybe these duties can be implemented for the current staff or a new role called "Market Manager".

riset4 17 Posted June 25, 2017 This will make finding relevant feedback easier. Would be nice to see this done
Buddy Nugs 18 Posted June 25, 2017 I agree 100% with this. If need be I think two temporary positions should be opened for this, allowing 2 members to try out (and also help catch up) , for the community to vote on a final person? This way the backlog clears faster and the community can see how effective the position is. It might take 2 members anyway depending on the activity level of the forums. Best, Buddy
Banker 175 Posted June 25, 2017 Personally think this would be a great addition to the community in keeping the market a safer place to trade with newer members and sellers

Best, Buddy In general, all of our staff positions are a "Try before you hire" kind of thing, i.e. Trial mods. That said I can't see us letting you guys vote (not that I don't trust you guys, I do) because someone with the position as outlined above would have a lot of power and a community vote could prop up someone with a lot of hidden bias or something like that. I agree with the trial staff system though =)
Antonio Kala 29 Posted June 25, 2017 I support this idea, but that person will have a ton of work to do.

I agree with the trial staff system though =) I understand what you are saying. Maybe that should be why two users have access to it, allowing for a balance of power? I imagine there is an "archive" that can be restored, at least that's how it was when I used to use IPB. Regardless I'm glad you're on board!
Zawy 1037 Posted June 25, 2017 Is the market even active enough to warrant this? Some proxy sellers and if we are lucky once a week an account seller(which get recovered)
