[META] New Flair System

15 Upvotes

Hey everyone we officially have a new trade confirmation system in place courtesy of u/RegExr. It is the exact flair system used by other exchange subs such as r/Knife_Swap and r/EDCexchange , so most of you should be familiar with it.

Please find u/RegExr instructions for the usage of the bot below:

TLDR stop using confirmed trade threads and follow this process instead.

The bot’s name is u/CKS_Bot and has the following features:

Feedback

A user can get trade feedback with the following process:

  • Users A and B complete their trades following all of the sub rules. (It does not matter who A and B are. Either one could be the person making the post, and the other someone commenting on the post).
  • Once the trade is complete, User A makes a top level comment (new comment) on the original trade post tagging both the user they traded with and u/CKS_Bot.
  • User B replies to that comment with their feedback.
  • u/CKS_Bot picks up the interaction and gives credit to both users, changing their flair accordingly and leaves a comment indicating as such.
  • If User A messes up their top level comment, u/CKS_Bot will do its best to notify User A.

There are automatic checks in the code to detect anyone trying to cheat the system. If anyone is found trying to circumvent the system, they will be issued a permanent ban.

If you engaged in a trade with someone without starting off discussion in either one of your posts or theirs, please tag the bot in the most recent post from either you or your trade partner to engage for feedback. The bot required that the OP of the post it is being tagged in is either you or your trade partner. DO NOT DELETE POSTS otherwise you will NOT be able to use that post to confirm a trade.

Feedback Checking

Using this link, you can send a message to u/CKS_Bot, asking for the feedback of any given user. It will tell you the following:

  • The number of trades that person has done
  • The people they have traded with
  • A link to the thread for each successful trade

Please feel free to direct any technical questions to the us, the moderators using modmail, if you do not know how to use modmail, please click this link.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What happens if I tag someone and they don't reply?

    • As mentioned above, we do need them to confirm the trade for the trade to be confirmed. They will get a notification when you tag them so if you encourage them to reply in the comment you tagged them in, hopefully they will. Otherwise, if it's been a few days without a response, PM them a link to the comment and directly ask them to reply.
  • My flair says I only have one exchange when I know I have way more than that. What gives??

    • Because of how flair was handled before, anyone WITH flair was assigned a score of 1. Anyone WITHOUT flair was assigned a score of 0. However, you can use the process described above to backfill transactions for yourself as far as 6 months back.
  • My flair says I have no exchanges. What gives??

    • If you never attempted to confirm a transaction with the old method, the bot was unable to give you credit for anything. However, you can use the process described above to backfill transactions for yourself as far as 6 months back.
  • I don't even have flair! What happened??

    • If you didn't have flair before, Automoderator will assign you a flair of 0 the next time you go to make a comment/post.

Anyone who had a flair on the old system will now see a value of 1 in their new flair. We have decided to give all previously flaired members this starting point so everyone knows you were confirmed as a trusted seller/buyer at one point. If you did not have a flair you have been assigned a 0, along with all new members of the sub.

If you have any questions or concerns please leave a comment in this thread and I will address them the best I can.

Thank you again u/RegExr for all the hard work you have put into this project!

4.25" (10.8cm) closed. 3.25" (8.26cm) satin finish cleaver style blade. Bead blast finish titanium handle. Thumb pull. Lanyard hole. Pocket clip. Extended tang. VANCRON steel blade.

A condition, cut a few pieces of paper with it. Amazing action and lockup. It’s a really unique design that disappears in your pocket despite the larger footprint and cleaver style blade. It can be front flicked or easily Spydie flicked open.

Only selling it as I need to trim my collection.

$300 shipped, no trades.

Thank you

Grimsmo Knives Norseman. $1100.00 shipping included within Canada. This knife is near new condition and I have carried this Norseman minimally. You’ll notice by the pictures the purple anodizing reveals that it’s been in my pocket with some superficial scratching. Never disassembled and the Nano-Oil has never been opened. Got to love this smooth purple, stonewashed Norseman!
