Hey folks,
In an attempt to help smooth out and create a better "Trading" experience here we have instigated a new feedback policy.
We are introducing the "iTrader" rating. It works similar to the ebay feedback method and allows for both sides to leave feedback and rate the experience. This is also accessible and readily available for every registered user of the board. The Feedback Forum currently in use is ok, but unless you pour over it and read every thread, it's not a very convienient method.
Currently the user's iTrader rating is shown by clicking on their username, but as ThunderChicken tweaks the code a bit it should show up with the user's statistics (hopefully in place of the worthless "Rep Power")
Now this is only going to work if people use it, so please when completing any transaction with another member of this forum, take the time to leave feedback.
To leave feedback, you click on the user's iTrader score and it takes you to a screen that displays the user's current feedback and feedback history. From there you can leave feedback for another user and either simply rate the transaction, or you can go in depth and leave a link to the ad and leave comments if you like.
Now this is ONLY FOR FEEDBACK FOR MARKETPLACE TRANSACTIONS. Do not use it for any other reason, period. Do not misuse this, as it if of benefit to all of us on this forum.
The Feedback Forum can still be used if you have more to say, or have an instance that the iTrader rating does not work for, but please try to use the iTrader feedback whenever possible.
I think that over time it will help identify who's good to do business with and who you should be careful about.
Now, go about your business!

Ok, now it's even cooler - I finally figured out how to get the ed thing to show up with the other user stats on the right side of the page. I also renamed it to something more intuitive, so people don't say "WTF is iTrader???":
Excellent! Thanks TC!
So are we applying this retroactively or should we start off fresh?
From the first of the year is acceptable.
