Yep, we have a lot of deck-related improvements to make... and are overdue. Better filtering will come soon!

Cool idea! Wrote it down.

Tooltips should be fixed now. Shift-Refresh to clear browser cache if you still see some bad ones.

I see your point in wanting to take an overall look at the issue and wanting to make a "what's best for the community" decision. I simply disagree with you in your assessment that the false conviction rate is low enough to be acceptable. I have no idea how high or low the false conviction rate is at the moment, but what I do know is that any system should strive for a 0 false conviction rate.

It's 0%. 1 person was convincted, and he did not even say he is innocent. Evidence was obvious as well. That's all the convictions in the last 6 years of deckbox smile

I'm not really familiar with other trading websites who also display card values. I assume PucaTrade has such fuctionality, but I am not sure what they do when their price data is off or stale.

The suspension jassi refers to is here https://deckbox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=22970

It also has nothing to do with tcgplayer or with trying to monetize the website, i'm not sure how you got to that conclusion.

That user clearly tried to take advantage of market price fluctuations and deckbox bugs to abuse other users via the trade system, so he was suspended.

It also has nothing to do with buying and selling, and could have happened very well even if our prices were not based on our market, but on some other external source. Prices were many times off when we got them from tcgplayer too.

Like in any kind of partly protected system, we here want to protect our users from abuse. In that case 20 people were just about to lose 10$ each, due to a fluctuation that deckbox prices did not respond to (so a deckbox bug you can say), and a guy who thought he's entitled to steal that value because he noticed the bug. Also he did not bother to tell us about it when he saw it, instead he opened 20 trades with people who did not know the price spiked 2 days before.

The case referenced before is not about marginal arbitrage. The card was mistakenly marked on deckbox as being three times less expensive than 90% of all other websites - ebay, tcgplayer, amazon, star city games, adventureson, all of them, with a 10$ difference on a 5$ card.

I'm not yet sure what the solution to this problem is, or how to phrase a rule that clearly explains what is abuse. But I still stand very decided that arbitrage of that sort on market fluctuations is pretty clearly abuse. Preventing that is of course not an easy problem to solve, but I would still like to prevent it. Until we have a good solution, suspending people who blatantly do it is a temporary one.

Feedback is as always welcome on the topic. I do not want to ignore the problem.

The use of name & login could be clearer though, you are right. I will take a look at that.

Not sure what the solution is then, we cannot stop people from changing their first and last name. Some users realize that they do not want them shown for privacy reasons and remove them. We do not have any way of seeing they are real in the first place.

The login name stays the same after 2 weeks. If you want to change it, you can if you are not trying to dodge bad feedback.

I have friends on facebook that are called George W. Bush, that's their prerogative smile

What is the actual problem you are worried about when other people use other names?

We've got some database imports for today:

Functionally you are only able to change your username in the first 2 weeks after signing up. But we do not allow users to do it to dodge btrs and other such bad behavior.

Who is the user who changed his username?

Nope, I'd also like this big_smile

Good idea, wrote it down.

The full card image gallery is up for Commander 2014. When are these cards getting imported? Thank you.

Normally we import them when they are on gatherer. (Otherwise we have to manually input all card data which takes a very very long time.) I will take a look for other sources if gatherer is not updated today.

By that error message it looks like the field separators in your CSV are actually ";" instead of a comma. Is there an option in Numbers to tell it which field separator to use?

I marked my http://mtgsalvation.gamepedia.com/World … ship_Decks

as Promo, but what should I mark them now?

I really want to import the World Championship Deck cards, it's just that I cannot find a good source for card images for them. I suppose I can import them with no image for now, just so people can mark them...

You do have a point, Proposal right now is not seen as 100% committal. Hmm...

Hi Sebi,
I think this is largely a great move - thanks for all the continual improvements!  I would like to make a suggestion, though.  I occasionally use the promo flag as an indicator that there is something different about the card.  Maybe it's a condition issue that I would want to explain if it goes in a trade, or maybe it means I left the card somewhere and may not get it back - who knows?  The point is, it might be useful to have a catch-all generic flag that people can use however they want (and filter on it, too).  Thanks!

We'll have an editable notes field for that, where you can type whatever you'd like about the card smile.

Rather "A lot" instead of alot. Because alot is this guy http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_D_Z-D2tzi14/S … 0/ALOT.png smile

True, I like this alot.

How about we just put the address selector there when the trade is editable, and you have to select your address before proposing, the other party has to select the address before accepting?

I mean, it was easy enough to remedy, but you really should ask (or at least give a warning, and the option to export a collection as-is in case someone wants to keep a copy with the promo tags intact, for whatever reason) before you go mucking about with people's inventories like that.

I can provide you with an export of your inventory as of yesterday morning if you wish. Send an email to support@deckbox.org please in case you want it.

I don't see a way to mark textless basic lands as such (no textless edition)...

Which edition are the lands from? If zendikar, you can mark them as being from zendikar, there are even separate printings there, mouse over the image icon to see if the land images matches the one you wish to import.

Now, I've got the arduous task of going through all my "cards from weird-ass editions" (since they're not currently considered "promo" cards) and re-enabling the "promo" flag for all of them if I want my promo cards to actually say "promo."  Since, you know, they are.

Please do not re-mark your cards as promo as the flag will be removed in the future, as posted in the announcement.

Searching for all promo cards is indeed a valid suggestion, I will add a filter for that that searches in all promo editions.
