Not sure if this is the correct location to post, but I would like to suggest that Trade Xone enforce a standardized way to display phone numbers i.e 01X-1234567 or 01X1234567

Reason for this is it allows LYNers to easily search for and compare phone numbers to detect scammers etc.

The current search engine does not handle this adequately.

Example... if i am searching for 0101234567 (and assumption: exist in forums)

only the search for this exact string " 0101234567" will return a hit.

searching 010-1234567 returns all numbers starting with 010-

1234567 = no match
010 123 4567 = no match

if we standardize the way we write out phone numbers (when we create a sales thread or a dispute thread), we have a chance to give everyone a slightly safer environment to trade. i eventually hope that one day everyone can make it a habit to just search a number before they make a trade to avoid getting scammed by repeat scammers. I see it being part of trade etiquette.

I will leave it to LYN staff to decide on formats, whether to implement. how to enforce etc. I hope eventually we can just search for the last 7 numbers but that might be too hopeful

u can post it at the helpdesk section
