Trusted Tag

Trusted Tags are the the source of much drama and butthurt on d2jsp. It is a trader tag, awarded by the moderating team to people they like. The satisfaction a nerd gets upon acquiring a trusted tag has been described to be better than getting laid or winning the lottery. Not that these nerds would know.

How to get a trusted tag
There are several known ways to get a trusted tag. Different sources tell different tales, but it is rather obvious that the truth is what the gouvernment does not want us to know.

In case you need a trusted tag, there are several things you need to do:
 * Always agree with moderators.
 * When a moderator or trusted member makes a witty post, quote them and tell them their joke was awesome.
 * Join a guild with many trusted members. Some guilds (like Desolate Carnage, until October 2007) cherish their integrity, and will not give you a trusted tag for joining them. There have been numerous guilds, however, in which gaining ranks was cruise control to gaining "respect" on the forums in general. For instance: Any guild Sabine is leader/coleader of (Eternity, Black Circle, United Slackers); V; Ancients. Right now, only Ancients still works decently, and many d2jsp users are desperate to gain membership of said guild.
 * When a trusted member needs help, you help them. No excuses. If you fail to help them, your chances decrease.
 * Donate to d2jsp. The more, the better.
 * Never argue, never flame, never spam. Never break a rule in general.
 * Only post in the following forums: Donor Forum, General Help, Scammer Accusations, trading forums (optional). Make sure that your posts are helpful, and that you are the first to post in each thread. Especially in the General Help.
 * Never discuss any of the above, and always claim that they are "lies" if somebody mentions them.
