Ok, so as you may, or may not know, you can fake quotes, and also meaning you can fake rep, here is an example:


WHATEVERTEXTIWANNAPUTHERE

But even worse, new members, or non-new members can do this to create fake vouches. here is an example:


and my suggestion is some of the web devs for Mc-market, should find a way of verifying the post was actually made, *OR* a bit like skype, you cant edit it at all, thanks for listening and please leave a dissagree or agree below :)

You can click the arrow after 'said' and it will direct you towards the post that was quoted, i.e you quoted from this thread.

Not sure if anything can be done about it other than spreading awareness of what I mentioned above.

A dedicated vouch form page with actual content to fill and rating system of 1 - 10 or something might be helpful more than just enforcing all vouches on profile. I know we used to have a vouch section but it was not used or rarely ever seen since no one ever took it seriously and just posted "vouch" for this person... not really explaining the context of the deal or favor or any useful feedback

An issue with that is non-premium members. As a web designer with a non-paid membership, I have a maximum amount of links I can have in my signature (two).

another problem with that is you can also change the post id number, for example, the post you said, that im quoting now, will not lead to this thread if you click on arrow then said

so if it doesnt link anywhere with the thing in it, it's suspect. period. if you're in doubt you can always ask one of the people that vouched. if one of them is fake, more will be.

I do use this feature in order to quote vouches that are only on my profile. Also this is built in to Xenforo and a really good feature. I disagree with having it removed.
