I have just added a new feature to the site. Now, people can rate other people based on their experience with them during a business transaction. To do so, you must click on user's profile or the link right below the POST COUNT and you will be able to leave feedback.

This is a very nice "eBay" like feature that will allow us to give better reviews to people and warn them about potential scams.

Here is a list of features:

This is a rating system for when members buy / sell /trade items from each other. It is based on the honor system since there is no way to truly tell if they did engage in a transaction. However I created this system because it was a pain to try and maintain a single thread listing good / bad traders and so far has worked out quite well.

Key Features:
- Rate Member Positive/Negative/Neutral
- Specify Buyer, Seller, or Trade
- Leave comments about the deal
- Records date when rating created
- Specify a URL to the deal

------

I am still trying to figure out if this add-on is bug free, so please report any problems here.

Thanks!

Also, tell me what you think about it.

Very good feature, but I have one concern and can see the threads been flooded with this: What happens when a person starts messing around, BS's and creates a rating that is false, leaves negative feedback and hurts that person's image/profile. I think that would sux if someone put some false stuff about me. Other than that, I LIKE IT... And yes, thanx Alex for the stickers.

This feature is a basic resource and should not be used as your only reasoning for entering into a deal with an other member...as for false feedback we are adults, if the club as a whole is not responsible enough to use this feature then I guess it will just be removed.

I will monitor and moderate the feedback posts. If you guys play "dirty" I will disable it.

Be good, please.

All the little "touch ups" to this addition will be completed shortly.

I'm glad someone came out with this feature! I don't see it cluttering the sidebar at all. I didn't even notice it for a couple of days after it came out. Great job!
