Days before silence counts as ghosting
The deadline on each outstanding step. The clock restarts whenever a side adds tracking, marks sent, or confirms receipt, so it measures how long one side may go silent rather than how long a trade may take. The overdue side is the one it counts against. The 20-day ceiling is fixed. A trade record has a finite life, and a deadline landing outside it would leave nothing able to close the trade, freezing both sides’ goods.Keep a record of back-outs and ghosts
Whatever this is set to, a stalled trade still closes at its deadline, both sides’ goods are still released, and the notice still goes in the thread. This setting decides only whether the outcome counts against anyone.
Back-outs only exists because the two are different evidence. A back-out is
deliberate and the trader typed a reason. A ghost is inferred from silence, and a
trade finished off-app looks identical from here.
Turning it off stops new records without erasing existing ones. They live out their
clocks and still appear in the trader lookup, which flags that the setting changed.
Negative outcomes never reach user flair in any configuration.
