User Profile Page

User Profiles pages are here! Click on the username at the top of the post and you will be directed to a new User Profile page.

This page is currently public and is meant to provide you a quick verification of a user. Here is what you need to know about this new page:

User Profile page badges and new page layout

Badges

The following are a list of badges we are launching with and parameters to earn each:

Verified - user has been verified thru existing verification process. Verify to post items for sale, message other users, and make comments.

Verify here: https://www.tacswap.com/billing

Expert - user has made over 100 posts.

Supporter - over $25 in credits purchased. Use credits to bump posts early and use other premium features that are coming soon.

Comms - user has over 100 comments posted and/or feedback given.

User Profile Page tabs

Active - All current active posts of the user.

Archive - A history of a users previous posts. This should help validate the users past sales and use of the platform. See the “Other Changes” below for a couple of other notes on archiving listings.

Feedback - pick positive, neutral or negative and leave feedback. Best practices are to reference the item purchased and comment on price, comms, and shipping. We ask that this is used and not abused for honest user feedback. We will expand on this feature as we monitor how this is used by the community.

Feedback system includes positive, neutral, or negative experience along with text feedback.

IMPORTANT NOTES - PLEASE READ

Existing feedback and narrative posts: Moving forward we are expecting that the post feed will be for WTS/WTB/WTT ads ONLY. We are now providing functionality for feedback and user profiles. Please do NOT create or bump feedback posts or use the WTB function for any other narrative (i.e. drama).

Advertising in posts: Please refrain from advertising your business websites or “Gear For Sale” accounts on other platforms like Instagram. We are NOT an advertising site and we’ve spent a ton of time/money building this site for our community. We will be working on some things for merchants in the future including advertising opportunities.

Multiple posts of same item: Please do not post the same item multiple times. If you want to bring your post to the top of the feed please use the “bump” feature. Each post cost Tacswap $$$ and we are doing our best to not have to charge to post items. Please use the site as intended and keep it fair for everyone in the community.

If a user doesn’t want to use the site as intended we reserve the right to delete the post and, if necessary, suspend accounts.

Other Changes:

Listings - there are 2 new options under My Listings:

1. Archive Listing (Sold) - use this button when your item has sold. This will then move the post to Archive in your User Profile Page.

2. Permanently Delete - use this button if you want to remove the post and not show this listing under the Archive tab.

What’s Next

  1. Greatly improved search and filter options

  2. Improved page layouts for My Listings and Messaging pages

  3. Multiple Images
