Middleman Crew Basics

The Middleman Crew are BT Mods and long term trusted members.
When making valued trades you may request a middleman for it.
This reduces risks of scams happening in a trade on this site.


The trade needs to fit the following requirements...

• The trade involves a tracker of Level 4 and above in the WTAW thread.
• That a member involved has been registered at FST less than 90 days.
• This shouldnt be needed if making trades with long term members.
• Middleman Crew members will be available only for invite trades.
• Requirements may be altered depending on the situation.

Middleman Crew Duties

• Middleman Crew members collect all details from both members.
• When theyve received all information they may forward it.

• They may choose who to send the information first.
• This is a safeguard should anything appear to be fishy.
• This also applies when new members are involved.
• After confirmation they would send the rest.

Requesting Middleman

• You MUST make a REQUEST in the Middleman Request section.
• The member that creates the thread and Staff can read it.
• Then a Middleman Crew member will reply to your request.
• Include what invites your trading and with who.
• Link to the profile of who your trading with.
• Other details like MSN if necessary.

This is NOT full proof against being scammed in a trade.
This is intended to a be a more secure way to trade.
You should still RESEARCH who your trading with...
