What is a Middle Man?
A middle man is a BT Mod and long-term trusted member. They are there to assist in making trades easier by protecting you and the other trader. What happens is you each give the middle man what the opposite guy wants then when he has everything he passes it on to whomever gets it. A middleman may choose who to send the information to first. This is a safeguard should anything appear to be fishy. This also applies when new members are involved. After confirmation they would send the rest. This is NOT fool proof against being scammed in a trade. This is intended to a be a more secure way to trade. You should still RESEARCH who you are trading with.
