Add a "Vouch" button

[Aniconic]

I believe that something that could help with the "reputation" crisis that MCM is experiencing would be adding a vouch button. It would be a button that you could click and type up a vouch for a specific user. Other users can then click a separate button that shows all the vouches that the player has received. This would be a lot easier than users having to screenshot replies and posts on their profile pages and having to upload them to their threads or to their signatures. Some users don't care about vouches as well so if they don't want to see this users vouches, they don't have to click the "show vouches" button. This could also help with threads being upped because someone posts a vouch as a reply to the thread. This button could be place under the users rating count or down by the report button. I believe this could very much improve MCM.

Trade ratings are going to be implemented soon, it will act as a vouch system.

Awful idea. I can give you a ton of reasons why, but here's the most important reason... It would be no more significant than the rating system. People can randomly vouch for whoever they want for whatever reason.

The only vouch system that will ever be worth a damn is when it's directly tied to a transaction. Like how you can't leave feedback for someone on Ebay until you actually have done business with them.

It can be used as an alternate to threads and profile's being filled with replies saying "Vouch."

So you're proposing a bad alternate to an already bad system? I think a better solution is coming up with a good vouch system that requires an actual deal before you can vouch.

Hey. Just trying to think of ideas. If you dislike the idea, just say so. No need to condemn it.

No need to take it personal. I gave a very valid reason why it's not good.

I've declined this suggestion, only because we have a feedback/reputation/vouch system coming out soon.
