Interesting idea, I like this quite a bit.

Hello,

They do want a Canopy, but they probably want a near mint one, while you have a Lightly Played one, that's why they are listed but do not show the canopy when you visit their profile in the intersection.

Fixed for clearer phrasing. Thanks guys for the better suggestion!

Should be fixed now, sorry for the problems.

Something is indeed broken, checking now.

Prompted by some recent discussions on trade safety and scamming, it is time to step up our game in preventing abuse, and making sure the deckbox community is a safe and friendly place smile

We now have a Report User button on user profiles, for those cases when you suspect someone is up to no good but do not want to open a ticket or a trade dispute. The message you submit will be sent to us; neither the target user nor anyone else will see it.

The current 3 categories for reports are:

  • Abuse - this is the most general one. It should be made when the user in question is rude, aggressive, lying or purposefully deceiving, or trying to take advantage of a person, situation or site bug for personal gain.

  • Scamming - Use this report type when you suspect a user is looking to scam others, or when you suspect the user is a new account of an older scammer on the website.

  • Lost Mail -  Use this report to let us know that the user has either said the mail you sent was lost or that he said he sent his cards but you did not receive anything. When someone amasses more of these reports they will be forced to always send with tracking.

Nothing will automatically happen when a report is made, we will need to read it and check the users history and connections before deciding on a course of action.

Needless to say, please do not abuse this system if you are simply annoyed by someone, it will end up working against you.


Feedback Reset

We are going to enforce neutral feedback in more cases from now on. They are supposed to signify that something was not according to plan, even though they do not decrease the trade score. They will be left on most longer disputes, and will be enforced by myself on other occasions as well (such as when someone marks a trade as a mail trade and leaves feedback when in fact it was a local trade).


Suspensions

There has been a wave of suspensions today and it will continue tomorrow as I finish some more reporting tools and statistics. User accounts that seem to be related to former scammers, or are remade accounts (to get rid of negative feedback for example) will be suspended (constantly, if they remake accounts constantly smile ). The better tooling should help with keeping everything  a bit more in line and provide better insights.

If you by any chance have been suspended but have done nothing wrong, please open a ticket by going to Help -> Support. It might be that I have made a mistake, it has been known to happen before smile


Thank you in advance for the reporting and keeping this community friendly and honest smile

Happy trading!

I do hope it will change and we can grow of course, but right now sadly this is the situation, we have to work with what we have got.

I do try to answer all tickets and emails of premium users second day, as promised. smile

We can continue the marketplace discussion if you wish and open a ticket. I am just not comfortable with this conversation happening in public, the way it was started.

...because you're trying to do everything yourself. We bugged you to allow your community to help support the site in the past...

We did have moderator support in the past, for the old BTR system, but it is not a golden solution. Moderators need to be chosen, and decisions need to be reviewed, and admin systems need to be developed for them to be able to have enough power while not enough to just trash the database and leave, or scam people and leave, or ... etc

Sebi, I want to preface this by saying I love deckbox, and just want to see it grow, but as the creator and only person that we can ask questions to, we kinda deserve some level of transparency. Hell, even a bi weekly, "Hi, guys, I am still working on this and this issue. Still incoming." Instead we get an "Ok, ill look into it, and then no response.

It is difficult to answer and discuss everything on the forum, email, support tickets and trade disputes and still have time for development and others... so sadly I cannot report and respond everything all the time because there simply is no time...

d72B, this thread has always felt to me like I'm being "grilled" and pressured into responding, with periodical reminders of my failings.

I am not quite sure I am comfortable with the level of transparency (on a public forum) that some of these questions require.

Does not exist yet but it is very high on the priority list. smile

So to that end, having a list is more immediately useful than a tagging system [...]

The problem is that if you want to mark things you have in a trade binder, you don't really want to use a separate list, since you *do* want to trade those cards presumably. Which means they do need to be in your tradelist so that everything else works ... (trade matching and trade finder, autocompleter from the trade page, intersection with other users, etc).

Also fixed some CSV import issues now, let me know if you see any other bugs with it, it's a troublesome feature smile

All the silly diphthongs and accents (AEther, Juza'm) etc are removed in your texts, and also some punctuation like exclamation marks in Kill! Destroy! I have no particular love of all them, but I think that Deckbox pre-processor should have capability to accept these if the import format is correct. The card _ is not accepted: instead it's ____, which is incorrect because much was made at the time that this was the shortest card name. Curiously, the only exotic character that you do accept is the (R) character in one of the Unhinged cards.

Agreed, they are very annoying to deal with, always have been in the last 8 years smile. But it is what it is. I will try to find the time to make some more lenient parsers for csv inputs, but it is always going to be error prone and finnicky to please any kind of data.

Removed duplicate Endbringer launch promo.
Removed duplicate Westvale & Ormendahl misimport. Caused actually by this gatherer mixup (notice the text below the images is vice-versa smile )

Bug!

Some tokens appear in autocomplete, but attempting to add them to a deck corrupts the deck.

To reproduce:  Create a new deck.  Add the Human Soldier token.  You'll see a notification: "Cannot find card. Please choose one from the autocompleted dropdown".  Then click on the deck in your deck list.  You'll be redirected to the deckbox.org homepage with a notification "Server Error. Cannot display page."

Fixed, sorry about that.

Thanks for the additions!

Is there any chance we could get additions of big box store promos, such as the Atarka, World Render that comes with packs of 3 booster packs at Walmart and places like that?

Hmm, is there an Atarka promo aside from the prerelease one? Have a link to it?

Yep, this was a long time request, for years now, and I do want to get to some kind of solution. I had various plans, including having a "tagging" system for inventories and wishlists, which helps mostly when the list you are making is a 'conceptual' subset of the cards you own, or want. (i.e. the "trade binder" is a subset of your inventory, and "cards you want because they have nice drawings" are a subset of your wishlist).

I think that would solve most of your requirements, correct?

We have a CSV export for detailed exporting, in the Tools menu.

Quickest way right now would be to click the card, it opens the card page in a new tab, and you can see on the left which decks you have it in. Not direct way yet, but it's a nice idea.

I fixed this by deleting the record for "Ach! Hans, Run!", which was confusing in csv, and adding it manually later myself. Then there was no problem loading the file.

I did get your email and checked the file, it was indeed a row with an extra comma in there. Where was this csv exported from?

Shadows over Innistrad is now imported, along with the Promos for Launch, Game Day, Buy-a-Box, Prerelease, and the tokens:

Other fixes recently deployed:
  - properly show Splinter Twin and Summer Bloom as banned in Modern
  - Commander 2015 logo in the 'Extra' column of 'Editions' was appearing as Oath
  - fixed tooltips in deck color graphs being cut off
  - fixed various small CSV import issues let me know if you see any other bugs with it, it's a troublesome feature smile

Thanks everyone for the input, I will close this for now as I feel many have given their thoughts already.

I will consider rewriting this as a second draft and taking your feedback into consideration, and re-posting it.

Not sure what you think is absurd about it, but there is no execution yet, this was simply submitted to ask for user opinions.
