Facts Need To Stay On The Board...

Diamondog

I see that a recent thread was pulled from the board, probably at the thread starters request and I understand the feelings as to probably why BUT there should be some record for members of this board old and new alike to be able to see what they are possibly getting in to trading with members here...just my opinion of course...Maybe ccom can implement some kind of trade rating for each memeber that members can track their trade success/failures...

Funny you mentioned this,, Being pretty new I was completely oblivious to anything until I read the thread that was deleted.. I do always try to keep an open mind and give people the benefit of the doubt. With that being said I'm a little more aware of the possibilities now. All in All I'm impressed by everyone that Ive had any correspondence with, as well as the content of 95% of the posts I have read.. You guys are good people.. Thanks

Would like to see that as well DD, and maintain that thread was not a bashing or unfair------more of a public service announcement that you can either heed or not heed (smokers afterall, I think we should all be familiar of these little disclaimers of what COULD happen...your choice to listen or not)

Interesting observation DD. Big brother is always watching!

Would be nice if they could implement itrader ratings like most other websites. Not sure what format this forum is set up in or how easy it would be to add.

I was thinking about something like eBay has where you see their feedback rating by their name. Maybe instead of seeing a post count, you see their rating based on other member's feedback. So anytime you bomb someone or send out some lottery winnings the receiver can leave feedback for you.

That is exactly what itrader is. You described it perfectly.

Another option...at another board I frequent you can click on a persons profile and add a trader comment to that person and they are listed in their profile...

we can also just set a minimum POST induction (i.e. if you have over 500 posts you are okay, no one would stick around THAT long with my musings just to stiff someone of 5 cigars!!!)

Actually someone did...

Actually someone did...and I personally believe its because there is no official way to track traders

We could also do a BOLO (Be On the LookOut) thread... Mainly because most guys that want to trade are okay... and the minority is in people that suck... Just a thought... I'm not a huge Bomber/trader..................................... yet.....

But with something like that, or a bad traders list, it'd be a permanent scarlet letter; almost no way to get off. IF we do something like this, I'm in favor of the ebay system; good, bad, and neutral - one bad score won't ruin your rep, but others will be cautious when dealing, and after some good deals, the good score will outweigh the bad and you'll be back on good ground

These rating systems are a moot point unless ccom adds to the board I will say this, from my time here I have only seen a handful of bad situations brought to light and 99.9% good, that being said there could be enough going on that doesn't get discussed to warrant something...

The whole time I've been on this forum, this is only the 2nd time I've seen an issue with trading. IMO, I don't think this warrants a vast overhaul of the boards nor a drastic change when what we do now.

Why don't you just post a date, name, and how it went in your bio for your trades? Then when you want to trade with someone, you can see their history and be able to verify that history when you check out the bio's of who they traded with. Simple, easy, and everyone can do it.
