We've done this to increase the certainty of the reputation and to make sure that no one is breaking the rules when leaving reputation. In the end, it makes our job a lot easier and the reputation left within your very own reputation thread would be according to the sourceop reputation rules.

We have included a new feature that everyone should be familiar with, and you may have already noticed that in every post you'll see a shield icon. Before I'll mention what they are used for, let me give you guys a heads-up first.

They are not used to replace your current positive (or neutral) reputation that you already have on your reputation thread. The system is going to be used for down-voting people instead. This means you can down-vote scammers yourself, AND ONLY scammers.

Just to be clear before reading further. Before you down-vote someone, it's important to know that you should have a scammer report ready on SteamREP.com.

http://forums.steamrep.com/forums/report/

From there, at the top read through the "How to report trading fraud" information block.

How to report trading fraud:
1. Review the SteamRep investigation policy.
2. Gather your evidence of the scam, including screenshots of chats or inventory history. Evidence is required!
3. Submit your scam report via SteamREP forums.

Once you've reported the user on SteamREP with valid evidence, you are welcome to use the downgrade system explained below:

There are currently a total of 5 type of shields:
[Image: reputation_gray.png] [Image: reputation_blue.png] [Image: reputation_yellow.png] [Image: reputation_red.png] [Image: reputation_green.png]

[Image: reputation_gray.png] This shield is a neutral shield and everyone here on the forums starts with this one. (yes, even the currently banned & SteamREP marked users I'm still working on that). This shield means your trade reputation is clean and that no one has down-votes you what so ever. If you have this shield, you are good to go. Just don't get down-voted for scamming!

[Image: reputation_blue.png] This means you've been down-voted once. At this point it doesn't necessarily mean you have scammed someone, but it does raise a question for the other users to either trust you, or not. It gives people the idea to do a small back-ground check before trading you. If at all seems to be a misunderstanding, your reputation will be reset to neutral.

[Image: reputation_yellow.png] The caution shield is something you will gain when multiple people has down-voted you. It'll be more trouble some and the SourceOP staff will look into it. If at all seems to be a misunderstanding, your reputation will be reset to neutral.

[Image: reputation_red.png] Having a red semi-banned OR SteamREP marked shield means you've been down-rated by people far too often and your forum account has been limited for it. The difference between "Semi-Banned" and "SteamREP marked" is that SteamREP marked users will get a red SteamREP marked usertitle, while the semi-banned users do not:

[Image: steamrep-banned-member.png]

Until things has been checked out, you will stay limited.

[Image: reputation_green.png] All trade/rep related moderators and administrators will have this green shield. NONE of the regulars will ever get this shield. If they down vote people, they will instantly ban the forum profile. They have no mercy towards scammers.

So how do I down-vote someone?
So you may ask.. how to I downvote someone? On every reputation thread and on the first post, you'll see a "report scam" button.

[Image: scammer-reputation.png]

Use this to down-vote a user. But you may only use this system when:

1). The person is already a SR marked member on SteamREP
2). The person you are down-voted has scammed or attempted to scam you.
3), You've made a scam report on the SteamREP forums on the particular user.
---> Phishing / Sharking is not valid under the scamming reasons!

If you abuse this system in anyway, you'll be removed from the SourceOP forums and your reputation thread will be closed down.

Further more,

We've also made a small adjustment to the reputation rules of which mostly aims to people that are leaving reputation to others. The main goal of SourceOP reputations always was to reduce the risk involved in the cash trading by leaving valid and honest reputations to others, hence this small change we've added for all future reputations.

Be descriptive with your rep comments. They should include:

a) the type of items
b) the number of items
c) the amount of cash
d) the method of the cash transfer
e) the information who went first

Example:

I bought 20 keys for 34$ via PayPal. I was given the items first OR I paid first then got the items.

OR

I sold Unusual Terror-Watt Cold Killer for 204$ via PayPal. I was given the money first OR I gave the unusual first then got the money.

For those who wish to leave reputation to others, please remember that reputation here on SourceOP should be limited to transactions that took place on SOP and not from other sites. Regardless of how silly this rule may sound, it was made in order to validate the reputation faster.

And finally, All trade related threads have been to the archive section as we wanted to make a fresh start. So all you have to do is to re-create your trade threads with whatever you want to buy, sell, trade, etc. If by any chance your trade thread was also your reputation thread, then you are welcome to e-mail me back as I'll change that into a valid reputation thread within the reputation section.]]>

As a few of you already know, there are fake SourceOP reputation site(s) out there with the intention to scam other traders. This is also one of the reason why all registered members are forced to read this thread.

These site(s) look exactly like the current SourceOP forums with some minor changes within a specific reputation thread so it looks like the scammer appears to be a trusted member with a lot of reputation while in reality, those reputations belong to another trusted (hopefully) member.

The SourceOP website URL is SourceOP.com, that's "Source OP" and the forums URL is forums.sourceop.com. Not sourcop, not soureop, forums.soureop.com or even forums-sourceop.com, don't fall for fakes!

While the URL looks very similar to SourceOP it's still very important for you, as a trader that you check the URL yourself to see if it's the real deal. In doubt, you can always go to SourceOP.com and click on the "Forums" link at the right menu. In most cases, you are not even logged in on the fake SourceOP site and it's highly advised not to do so either.

You could also ask the person to private message you on the SourceOP forums. Don't fall for it if he says it failed or something similar. Through the Private Message you can easily check the person's reputation thread and name to see if it's really him.]]> [Image: OLK4J.png]
