<p></p>
<p>There's a variety of important communication improvements to trader chat that have already been proposed[1], this however proposes to give the <strong><em>OPTION</em></strong> for potential traders to chat with the MAKER of an offer <em>before taking it.</em> The maker would have the choice as to whether they want to offer the ability to be engaged in pre-offer chat, or not.</p>
<p>There's been several occasions where I've seen an offer outside my fiat range, or in another payment method I do not have access to. Perhaps a % slightly too high premium for my liking etc. Having been able to contact the MAKER he may have been willing to amend his offer with new terms that are acceptable.</p>

<p>For this to be helpful, the other proposed trader chat (communication improvements) changes should take priority.</p>
<p><strong>Possible Negatives</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Efforts to low ball traders offers, tying up and wasting maker's time with 'offers' or useless chat</li>
<li>Spammy comments</li>
<li>Arguments against: this is a consequence to a lack of liquidity / ability to get trades from other markets etc. Something <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load title" data-id="798768834" data-permission-text="Title is private" data-url="https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/issues/5147" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url="/bisq-network/bisq/issues/5147/hovercard" href="https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/issues/5147">#5147</a> would certainly go towards fixing.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Possible Positives</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Trades happen that otherwise wouldn't.</li>
</ul>
<p>Putting it out there to discuss. Any thoughts welcomed.</p>
