Guest Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 why we should have a power to hide our powers ? its not important to hide our powers from anyone what if someone stole powers from users ? and this may cause problems in the future **you should give us more info about your suggestion** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Members ANGY Posted June 27, 2017 Advanced Members Share Posted June 27, 2017 This was previously suggested and was not supported, this will bring problems with the false trade of powers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Members Angelo Posted June 27, 2017 Advanced Members Share Posted June 27, 2017 I could see a few reasons why a person would want to hide their powers: People beg for your powers People insult you due to your lack of powers or abundance of powers People try to steal your powers. You can use (nopc), (nopm), (nofollow), and (show) to prevent all the aforementioned situations, or find a new chat to go to. I don't think it would be that useful.

Members Stardox Posted June 27, 2017 Members Share Posted June 27, 2017 What would happen if members pretend to have 'nopowers' power? How do they prove that they are telling truth and being legitimate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Members LaFleur Posted June 27, 2017 Advanced Members Share Posted June 27, 2017 This'd rather bring up problems, than doing any good, e.g. people selling stuff they don't have, creating false trade, as angy mentioned. Though one could argue, this isn't a big issue with selling xats/days while show is enabled, i still think hiding powers could encourage this much more.

Volunteers Crow Posted June 27, 2017 Volunteers Share Posted June 27, 2017 This could be useful for hiding auction powers too. It means you could bid using your main ID without opponents knowing what your limit/ceiling is, which is sometimes a disadvantage. (Although this is a weak point, because arguably using your main ID at auction is a disadvantage in itself, as opponents will know who you are, and are more likely to make joke bids to mess you around. In addition, you'd still likely have to trade powers around between your accounts anyway, since you might have non-auction powers on your main ID.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be selling Purple for off-site currency? If so, you should remember that reselling isn't supported by xat i.e. people do that at their own risk. Also, the risk is there even if you do have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You misunderstood, i was referring to xattrade chat, since false trade is disallowed there. My concern is just that people could increase that behaviour with this option being there, but it might be not a big issue after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's your fault if you accept the trade and the other user hasn't put the power. I don't get how this power would affect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Members Samuel Posted June 27, 2017 Advanced Members Share Posted June 27, 2017 Why if we can deny access to people on our pc or pm we can not refuse to see our powers? I like the idea It would be more privacy. Trade chats could change their rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you're right about that. False trade is just about people making up prizes and selling/buying stuff, but don't do then so, or for example making up prizes to manipulate fair trade prices and then pretend they've sold it already and then hide the power. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
