steamtrades suggestions:


:D sup guise, hd here - had good ideas and thought
i'd be a happy merchant to share them with you.:

  1. limit number of posts per hour ... to avoid/reduce spam/traffic
  2. limit number of thread loads, unique url requests per hour ... traffic
  3. add a blacklist feature to hide users from sight - you wouldn't believe how helpful that would be
  4. add a auto-bump feature for auto-bumps when online - most don't use scripts and never will
  5. add more adds yup because why not - its the trading section, why not have your own gains

now to the good part:

  • remove limits and adds for premium trade users (some fee obviously)
  • enable blacklist and auto-bump feature only for premium trade users

What do you think, do you like the ideas? Comment below (i won't bite).

more reasonable suggestions brought to you in replies by:

I doubt a premium paid section would come soon. Or ever. The trading section is even more elitist than the giveaway one, where +1 rep entitles many people to act like as if they are the one who dictate every aspect of a trade. A premium feature where people could form an even more elitist club would be disastrous.

+1. There's some old trades got bumped by random person, but the owner of that thread has been inactive for a long time.
Having these would be really helpfull

add a auto-bump feature only for premium trade users

No. Try go to tf2outpost, most of the trades that got bumped was by these "premium user" that link their trades to dispenser.tf
(even some of them didn't trade anymore and their trades still getting bumped because they "forgot" to turn it off)

yeah the first ones good, as for auto bump its probably pointless unless it detects your online on the the site (in the last 72hrs)...

Yeah, this is probably the worst idea ever. xD I don't like paying just for a few privileges when posting my trades.

Thing is that asking for money in order to get more privileges than the others, is totally sh@tty. :/ And yeah, you explained just fine why this wouldn't work anyway. There's something similar in tf2outpost and it's kinda stupid.

I have less experience in trading but I could at least give a bump!

More like:

  1. Add $ registration limit back, shittons of account with lvl 3 and 5 games who offer AAA games and sure wont go first and they are sure key (or untradeable gifts) ... check image if this seems like legit user (saw many like this) FOR DEAR GOD ADD (BACK) AT LEAST THIS!
  2. Add blacklist thing (blacklisted users cant access ur thread or react on you... too many ignorants, spammers and weird pipolz. (its too bothersome when u can say 500 times not interested in smth and 10 min later someone ask same trash agin)
  3. Auto-close all long time inactive threads. Guy offline 1 year+ and some (^^spammers/ignoratns) posting offers in his thread (stupid posting everywhere)
  4. Limit threads created per (some time) here is guy who creating 5 new threads daily as #@{. Bumping each every 5 min via comment. Clearly spam
  5. Ban scammers / problematic users, here are ones like +3/-19 and still can trade, put offers, create threads? Its some joke? Sure, we high reps wont trade but they aiming newbies...
  6. Finally take care about f#&@ steamtrades, its anarchy. U note some rule and reply is "fuck you" .... here someone say smth bad and get suspend in 15 mins.... on ST posting shits for months and nobody care.
    reports are pointless, one of my report pending over year, not really worth report

btw your idea about "premium users" is total non-sense i think. Maybe if itll be based on time registred and rep, not really paid thing. Like registred 3 years ago and have 800+ rep, but not good idea at all by me.

and this: add more adds
On desktop blocked all ads, on phone its bothersome and on mobile network it only eating data, so make it more bothersome? No

in another thing u want reduce spam but u want allow "auto-bump"? Can u imagine spam after autobump? Every useless thread still in top? No

U can have best idea ever but nobody will do anything. (i saw suggestions in past, nobody cares) since they added "trades" on different page, 0% care, its okay scammers stealing money or games, important is worthless CV, some weird rule about third party giveaways u cant post link coz they want join group... all these pointless and worthless things are important. Its too sad.
On SG drama about every trash thing and on ST where its about money etc.... totally nothing. Let pipolz register free games Steam account to scam other newbies, its okay. I can see every day lot of rule breaking, idiot acting.... and unable to do smth with it, sad feel.

Not caring much for giveaways myself; I know where you're going at (yeah trades could use more "love"). That being said, Giveaways
most likely make up the core-user-base of the entire community - of which probably only tops 25% of them engage in steamtrades.

edit: btw. about autobump, i had this in mind > you've been in the last 72hrs
once on steamtrades accessing your thread > then it will be bumped else not

I stopped bothering about Steamtrades because of the reasons you mentioned and moved all my trading to Barter. I can highly recommend this site, good trading going on there, system regulates itself, and if all else fails there is an ignore function ;)

Thank you, i tried it long time ago (1 year) but its somewhat confusing for me.
Steamtrades was good and can be good agin but i dont know why they run it when totally dont care about it. Why its that big problem care about it? SG still something, still some drama, still talking and imporove anything. Steamtrades ignore. But why?
Make separated site and forget it... lel. Why site cant be good? And thing i totally dont understand and never will is why the fok $100 limit is gone? Now its open for every scammer, worst step ever and main problem.

Oh, they removed the $100 limit? For Steamtrades only? Oh man...

I wonder the same things, SketCZ. Steamtrades used to be good, it has quite the reputation, I would even go that far to call it an international standard. Which is now unmonitored and unmoderated. Madness!

I dont know if for SG too, i dont have any alt, i cant try. But i think on SG is $100 still. Friend of mine tried register on ST with bot idle account just to try for fun... regi
But if u want scam someone on ST create steam, activate 2/3 trash free games and u can start. Very safe site. Its like u can go to plane with grenade. Same safety, unbelieveable. Found 3 weeks old another screen, screen of Steam profile of ST user, legit ... 1 game 1 lvl but registred on trading. Maybe i can find more if i check screen on phone but am too lazy i have xxx screens :D

These are all totally unimportant. We MOSTLY need a report feature and a search bar inside trade posts.

If a trade post has like 100 pages of comments, ctrl+f in every page isn't really helpful, you know. :P We need a search bar that searches the entire post, just like it used to be.

hmm whats the point of searching the comments? only the trade /h/w/description < parts are
of use to be searched, also on first sight the most recent answers if any > which tells you ...

There is a point! I want to see who has offered the same game as me to the trade post owner and for what price. That's quite important for me. Like, I'm selling Alien Isolation for 1000 keys (just a funny example). If someone offered him 10 days ago the same game for 900 keys and he said no, what's the point of me offering it for 1000 keys, since he'll not accept it?

And don't forget about the report feature. :B Everyone can scam, spam, annoy, etc. someone and get away with it. -rep is only for experience related to trades, so it doesn't help every time. Actually, -rep hardly helps at all. People keep scamming even when they have -rep. We need a report feature in order to ban them forever. >:(

Too bad, SteamGifts support can't do anything anything about SteamTrades... They don't have "power" there...
Also, SteamTrades is not Steam.. you can ban scammer on SteamTrades, but you can't ban them on Steam.

Ehm, I obviously know that. I'm just saying that, if we could ban them on steamtrades, then they would stop trying to scam people by posting comments on their trades - it's something. :/

Would be nice to see if someone is already suspended on Steamgifts/trades under the Safety Check stuff ...
People can unfortunately still link their ST-profile... which is perhaps even quite positive in point of their rep
... its not possible to see if someone is already banned ... just when you vist their steamgifts profil and even then
you still dont know why

i think the one thing that we most need are price calculator and for how much someone wants to sell their stuff and for how much someone bought it like steam does.
This way all prices would be visible and people could make the best deals. of course with verification to not abuse the system.

Already said in a reply to SketCZ: I stopped bothering about Steamtrades quite a while ago because it has become to cumbersome with people not giving a flying fuck about what you write in what way you wish to trade and wasting your time by proposing mindless lowball offers. I moved all my trading to Barter. I can highly recommend this site, good trading going on there, system regulates itself, and if all else fails there is an ignore function ;)

For some reason I'm having a feeling Steamtrades is becoming the neglected stepchild of SG and nobody really cares anymore what's going on there. It's a shame, it has quite the reputation which is going to waste.

on barter you get way more lowball offer. barter is mostly only good for 1:1 low bundle trades. but for higher cost games its useless in my experience.

With those huge threads and limited search possibilities Steamtrades was never of a big interest for me. Barter.vg provides way more help for matching. So thumbs up for all who want to improve ST.. ^^

And thanks for the GAs!
