The private message system needs to be revamped to make it easier for people to deal on site.

The way that it's currently set up makes communicating with eachother a hassle, which is why most people use other platforms to communicate with each other, such as Discord.

With discord, the problem is that it's easy for newer people to fall victim to an impersonator, or a triangle scam, such as what happened here today:

https://RAIDUSER.com/Thread-Scammed-1400...what-to-do

He confirmed on site with the middleman, and the middleman replied with a screenshot of the discord conversation as proof, but as it was a triangle scam, the scammers fabricated the conversation the middleman was actually in by impersonating the accounts.

Making it easier to deal on site would prevent a lot of these issues and save time as you wouldn't have to bother confirming anymore.

A flow on effect of this is that less money would be taken away from the community and falling into the hands of scammers, which would reduce the amount of scammers in the long run since it'd be less profitable for them.

Here's an example from another site of how I think I think it should generally be set up:

In the past Ace implemented a trial of a new private message system similar to what I'm suggesting, but since people don't like change and didn't give themselves a chance to get used to it, so it got reverted back.

If this were to be implemented, and people gave it a chance, it would be great for the community, and it would save lots of money from being taken out of the market.

Didn't HF add instant messaging with group chat support? Is the plugin they use available? They are a MyBB forum too.

i like it

whats a triangle scam

I only accept BTC. I've sold hundreds of accounts before with no problems, that being said I am not responsible once the account is in your hands. Social media accounts, especially Twitters, are known to be unpredictable so know what you are buying. Always willing to use a middleman but the fee is on you. Read this thread before buying a Twitter.
