As a new trade mod I'd like to bring up a couple of things that have long been my thoughts.
1. Trades when all parties involved are trade mods are automatically approved
Now someone might jump and say trade mods shouldn't receive special privileges. However, if they're a trade mod then they've obviously shown that they have the Mogul knowledge to not get ripped off. They also should have the integrity to not try to fleece other trade mod. With this I would say it's more than fair to fine trade mods (cash or picks) to the degree in which they attempted to fleece another trade mod.
2. Any GM can post their displeasure with a trade as long as they're not personal attacking anyone involved
Even though rules said not to, before I become a trade mod, I'd still post my thoughts if I thought a deal was bad enough. This doesn't happen often and I think the trade mods can do a fine job, but at times I know it can get into a "stamp of approval" frenzy and a bad deal might slip through. As with suggestion number one, I think any GM personally attacking another GM (i.e. calling them an idiot for a trade) would be subject to fines (again, cash or picks).
3. We have other suggestions that need your opinion! If you like them, post your support! If you don't like them, post why you don't think they're good! I've been personally told by people that they like my suggestions and even though I made it clear I don't support Hokey's suggestions, they're still worthy of discussion.
