Vouch Glws

[OG]

Seeing these words make me cry at times, especially when it's from a person you don't know/never done a deal with on your thread.

Like when looking in the account section and just scrolling through the page I just see
Vouch!
GLWS!

Yes I do these things myself, but this is to the people I personally know, and or have done a deal with them in the past.

I think if you're going to be posting either it should be to a limit, and you have to like actually know the person/have done a deal with them. You could look through some new users and all their posts would be between these things on account threads.

Report your thread and say "Yo, I want all "Vouch" and "Glws" posts removed", and they will be dealt with.

Yeah but like that's adding way too much work to mods and admins.
They could be handling other things like other reports/issues

So what exactly are you suggesting if not staff enforcement of these posts?

Well there should be staff enforcement but not just like removement more over warnings issued

You're asking for more warning points to be issued? Harsher punishment for people who post "glws" and "vouch"?
Is that all?

Eh depends, like if you're doing it like one to three times it's alright, but if you're going through all the recent og threads and just saying
" Vouch! "
" GLWS"
Just to boost your posts up, action should be done

I agree. At this point it's just getting annoying.

In fact, I saw a member that no joke had ~10 consecutive "GLWS!" Messages.

I was thinking of making a filter so that if the message only contains phrases such as "Vouch", "Vouch!", "GLWS", "GLWS!" etc., You get an error message saying that it's considered low quality posting and a link to the rules.

Yeah alot of users do this, especially new ones :/

I do agree. If people wish to vouch for a user then they can use the reputation system to do so, no need to go to every one of their threads and tell them you vouch for them.

Same goes with GLWS.

This is an excellent idea. I think the best thing to do would be to make it so that if your message involves less than 100 characters and the word 'Vouch' you're not able to post it. Same with GLWS.

Moved this to pending.

Thanks for the suggestion!

You haven't added a system but I've had a verbal warning for this so it's basically a thing
