(Sugestion for "Trades") Mark and Delete Trades

[one single bee]

Hello CS Community, recently I was checking my trades and I noticed that I haded a lot cancelled and it's like a chaos search for a specific trade.

So one day I thinked "How about marking and deleting trades?".

I have thinked about this, it's like you delete a PM but now you delete a trade.
This is good for the users that have a lot of pages of trades, with this new idea you can delete the oldest trades to keep clean your "Trades" and make space for the new coming trades.

Administrators, moderators and CS Community, comment of what do you think of this new idea.

(I know that this is going to be a large process for install this option in "Trades")

We can already look up trades through a pet and by username.
There are a lot of problems with trades. It sounds too easy to delete a trade where someone 'scammed' another person and presto! There is now no evidence of them ever trading.
Similarly, it's too easy to delete a trade where you needed that evidence of said scamming.
This would also break pet links to trades so I can't say I'd support this.

Sorry, I didnt said that!
It was suposed to be for help, delete the old trades but not to hide evidence of nothing, it was for help

Actually if we were to add such a feature, trades would just be hidden in your trading center but not actually deleted (since admins need to be able to look at trades), so there wouldn't be any problem with scammers deleting trades.

What ways would you like to be able to search for trades?

Yes Nick.
I was planing that the trades "deleted" (because the trades just be hidden) still can be saw by administrators and if they looked something suspicious in the trade like "scamming", warn the user or if it doed "scamming" much times, ban the user.
(And for searching trades it would be for date or pets and items that they offered to give to you)

My only problem with this is if someone hacked someone's account and took their pets then deleted the trade (on the account they hacked) so the person they hacked couldn't see what happened to their pets.

Do you know the username of the person that hacked your account? Then report it! Go to help and send a message to the administrators and they will take charge of this

[blueshadowmoon]

I wasn't hacked, I was saying what might happen, that's all.

(Oh, Ok, but if you have a weak password, you can change it, like they say, it's better prevent that lament)

this sounds like a good idea. but maybe there will be a waiting of a couple of days deleting it. we could maybe get more people like admins or something for the site and can control the deleting process. idk. its just one of my wiered thoughts lol. but maybe u could delete canceled trades that day but then have to wait a day or 2 for the accepted to be deleted. i dont know though.
