If this list had included an escrows from local parts of the forum, then maybe the situation would be better for the entire community.

I wrote to the esteemed @hedgy73 several times, but I was rejected in response because "I dont have enough forum trust to be on the list".

When I gave him information about myself (11 December 2018), who I am, how many time I'm in the crypto community, and what I do), his answer was: "I can only go on what I see on the forum." -- I can assume he doesn't give a fuck about the information I gave him, and he didn't even check it out. And it turns out that he's "right" because he is the topic starter. 🤷🏻‍♂️

And the last one thing:

After that answer, it's understandable that I stopped messaging him, because it would be rude of me, and I also realized that he wouldn't add me to the list because of... <put_a_reason_here>.

And again, there are no criteria (except for the personal and subjective opinion of the author of the topic).

In the past, I was naive and thought that we were all a friendly community here, and we can help each other and of course newcomers in the community so they wouldn't fall into the hands of scammers.

My humble advice to a new escrows -- ignore this list, even though Google loves this topic.

Simply offer your services and build your reputation and do not participate in deals involving the selling/buying of forum accounts (LocalBitcoins accounts), because by doing so you're encouraging the spread of spam and potential fraud. (It's my personal belief.)

This post was written without a drop of anger or spite to the author of the topic.
I just expressed my opinion and how personally I see the situation.

Thanks.
