What do you guys think...

We can have a plugin to automate the trade process

First the two parties must make new gmail accounts

then enter details

once details are entered then the parties send invites to the respective accounts

the script checks for certain keywords in incoming mail ( the script will only support certain trackers)

then if invite is present the invitation is copied and pm'ed to the respective users as well as the email passwords and usernames

This ensures that 1 person does not get their invite first and change the passwords to the email

of course this is just in planning

we wanna know what you guys think!

I'd have to see it working first, and even then I'd still be wary of using a automated system

I doubt using gmail is such a good idea either. With all the API's available, plus POP3 etc which are all vectors to be exploited.

Dave

well this is all just a scare system

i mean how far would a guy go to scam someone

it wouldn't really be automated, you would have most of the control, i.e. nothing will happen if you don't send the invite

nice idea. but a little too complicated isnt it?

Dave

im open to suggestion on how simpler you could make it

burrito

a scammer could put in a fake invite code, it wouldn't be 100% safe

Dave

well the first thing it could do would be to delete any existing messages on the account and then apply filters to only allow mail from certain servers i.e. tracker servers

then it will start scanning for the invite email every few hours

that will pretty much make it safe

burrito

there are a few torrent sites that just give you the invite directly on their website, and don't email it from their server

I'd still trust middlemen more, BUT, if you can get this working, it would be pretty awesome... I think :D
