Not gonna lie, it's really annoying to look between rows of vouches to see bids and offers. Also, it just boosts peoples threads. So, i'm thinking, why dont we have a vouch reaction, to stop this issue.

It was removed due to ratings being abused. Vouches that are one worded with little context should not be considered real vouches. The point of vouches is to establish that the user truly has a service or product worth valuing it legiitmately so they can earn respect in this community.

How many times is this gonna be suggested? Do people never read the suggestions that come up when you're typing the title?

Also, you're not supposed to vouch on normal selling threads, it's a thing that's normally supposed to happen on service threads and profiles.
Besides, we already have the rep system for this.

The "winner" rating used to be a vouch rating. However, it saw loads of abuse so we eventually removed it. People kept using it as a vouch rating for months afterwards, until they finally realized that vouch ratings were meaningless, as anyone could keep rating a person again and again without anyone knowing how much it was worth.

10 new members leaving a 'vouch' is not worth nearly as much as a single experienced, long-term member leaving one. yet with vouch ratings each was counted as equal value. thats just the start of it.

Denied. The 'Winner' rating used to be named 'Vouch' and it simply didn't work.

to be honest I'm not really much of a fan of people vouching on any threads at all. The reputation system is the place where you should do it so that some guy doesn't go to every single thread you make saying they vouch for you. I might make a suggestion about that one a bit later though.
