Having an organized communication user flow between user groups #14
Prevent fraudulent activities and prompt the user to do important information updates
We have noticed that on some other platforms, frauds and unclear information is polluting the ecology of the marketplace, in order to solve this, we may device a well designed user flow to prevent frauds and low-quality information uploads.
Proposed solution
Allowing users to create pins with just a few clicks on the map, without any other steps, may cause scammers to create false information for bad purposes or having too much low-quality posts that are not helpful to the users.
It might be a good idea to have some limits for the user of what they can do without providing further detaild information of themselves/the properties they are posting. As @jbarrettsteiner pointed out, scammers are not likely to provide their credit card information for posts. Also if the users are serious in using our platform, they will be willing to provide detailed information in forms of videos and/or their personal information.
By having a communication function implemented, we allow the users to reach out to one another without having to leave the platform, it is easy to use. We might need to hide informations for the different users that are communicating to avoid potential malicious activities.
Additional context
Socket.io chatbox, easy to set up and test, may need some more time to implement all the data functions for the provide-information-then-proceed user flow
