Let's say you have 13 reputation, and the other person has 33 reputation. You both are knowledgeable a subject so you try out. You both are pretty much are the same, although they know they can trust the person with 33 reputation more; at least until the person with 13 reputation proves otherwise by getting his rep up or the person with 33 rep drops. By the way, your idea is pretty good TSAdmin.

The rep system is a really bad idea... People would flame accounts once a day just to be mean or things like that. They would list ridiculous things because someone beat them in an event... And as far as scamming goes, that is what staff is for, or someone could fairly easily make a secure trading system. The global hours is not as bad of an idea, but hours still show very little, there are complete idiots with over 1000 hours and people who have 20 who are already fitting in the community and remaining respectable, idling is a huge factor that distorts those numbers, being on more than one server at a time + having rc on will cause mass hour gains by idlers. Besides if you are trying to prove that someone is not new, you want LOCAL hours because none of the servers work in remotely the same ways.
