Hi guys,
Any update on this :(

I've submitted my application twice and the latest one is in June but I have not received any update on my application to become a vendor (even though I have run a few GBs in the past on Geekhack). Please kindly check. Cheers!

A cross-platform team including representatives from r/mk, r/mm, MGB, and geekhack (with feedback and insight from a whole host of other community members - huge thanks to all that contributed, listed in the below linked doc) has put together what we hope will serve as a useful tool for hobbyists looking for reputable vendors in the mechanical keyboard space. This is a particularly tough nut to crack, and the system is not 100% perfect today; however, we are confident that with continued input and feedback it can mature into a useful system for all.
We are pleased to announce the initial launch of a new system that is intended to improve trust and transparency of vendors running keyboard and keyset group buys.
The current version of the MK Trust and Safety System is available at: http://www.mktrust.org/
This system is a community-driven effort, relying on vendors, consumers, platforms and streamers to report and maintain vendor GB status and commitments.
geekhack is supporting this initiative by requiring that:
* All vendors who want to promote a group buy (as defined in the system) must have a rating
* Vendors can promote a maximum # of group buys based on their rating limit
There will be a grace period of 30 days from today, for vendors to submit their information for rating before these rules are enforced. After December 8, 2023, new GB posts from vendors who have not submitted their information for rating via this system will not be approved. Instructions for vendors to submit their information for rating are available at mktrust.org.
Any community member or vendor can also report any issues with vendors or submit feedback on the system using forms available at mktrust.org.
Please join us in supporting this initiative. It will continue to evolve through feedback and lessons learned. We hope that it helps to increase vendor trust and provide useful information to the community as it continues to grow.
Discussion between rmendis and TaehaTypes regarding the new system:
Feel free to share any thoughts and feedback below (in addition to submitting via the form) to allow others to engage in discussion and workshop any improvements as a collective.
Edit: Added rmendis/Taeha video
