Trade reform

Post by Deathreape98 » Thu Feb 28, 2008 11:09 pm

I propose that whenever there are atleast 4 digits, "k" be added, and whenever there are 7 digits, "mil" be added. This will help in trade confusion, and will be harder to be scammed out of money. (Just got scammed out of 90mil actually, because of this)

I have to say that, and maybe it's my resolution?? THat it is hard to read the numbers. On my screen it looks a little cut off, I have to sit there with a post it to count 0's...

At the very least how about comma separators??

Yeah, they're cut off for me too. This idea would save time for everybody, and reduce scamming to zilch.

Perhaps just adding the standard commas every 3 places?

Yes, commas.. OOOOH, maybe we could have the host query the client for its locale and then those in Europe can have decimals instead of commas. :lol:
