We'd like to share with you an update on the Thread Viewing History in the Trades section, aka this thing:
clraik prides itself on being a fair and safe market for buyers, sellers, and traders alike! Every person who signs up for clraik can participate in the Trades section, and plenty of users have been able to find their dream items for sale or trade - without ever having to participate elsewhere in the forum.
Every account on clraik starts at the Newbie rank. Our general ideology is that higher ranks indicate trustworthier users, since ranking up involves a large amount of community involvement and forum participation. This does not mean, however, that Newbie-ranked accounts are inherently untrustworthy. Don't forget... YOU were once a newbie, too!
Our priority is the safety of our entire community, not just the safety of established/higher ranked users. For that reason, we have removed the Thread Viewing History from the Trades section of the forum.
Now, users interested in purchasing or trading will now be able to do so without leaving evidence that they visited a thread or reached out to anyone.
Targeted harassment is against clraik rules. This doesn't just apply to targeting users on Neopets - it also applies to targeting your fellow clraik members. While we understand that it can be disconcerting to have your clraik username mentioned on Neopets directly, we do not condone the witch hunting of newbie accounts based on nothing more than their viewing history.
If you find yourself in this situation and are concerned with your privacy or safety, we recommend reaching out to a clraik staff member onsite so that we can discuss mitigation options, such as hiding your thread for a while or changing your username. Asking us to ban accounts with no evidence, or asking us to ban accounts without filing a dispute and allowing us to conduct an investigation of our own, is not a mitigation option - instead, that would compromise the integrity of our entire community. |
