I'd like to see us start up a new thread, a Character History Checker or something like that. It would have 2 goals:
2) When people sell characters not made by them, they could link to their verified sale path on the history checker thread to reassure the new buyer that the character is legitimate, or at least give them some background informatin about the character if the path isn't verified.
How would we verify this? I don't tend to keep the PMs I got when getting characters, I just save who I got them from in the name of the image on my laptop....That's my only concern.
I'm glad you guys are all for it!
In response to this question, verification can be:
- Contacting sellers and asking them to post confirmation in the thread
- Linking to the sale threads on CS / DA / wherever
- Screenshots / PM quotes can be accepted but of course there will always be a possibility it was made up
Also, we should all use Google Image Search to check that the original sellers are in fact legitimate and it's not stolen from the source. So the Character History Checker thread would have a step-by-step guide to help tracking down characters via Google Image Search, DA searches and character name CS forum searches.
If anyone would like to help write up the guide and lay out the thread, let me know! I don't want to dive into a new thread without having some idea of the first page contents.
