Does GFY need an itrader system?
 

Yes or no?

Yes it would help to weed out bad apples.

hell if i know

Hell no. Fuck all y'all. :1orglaugh

not a bad idea. better than the reputation mod

i think it will be like another site with itrader the fake nicks will just build their rankings

I voted yes but after seeing how rep went it could be a bad idea.

A shit list is probably better but like it's been said before it could cause legal bs.

No.

It would be abused just like the other system.

:2 cents:

Yes.

Works great on DP nobody has fake iTrader at all :upsidedow





No.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh exactly

WTF is itrader?

E-penis 2.0.

WTF is E-penis 2.0?

Yesssssssssssssssss

iTrader is a reputation system for vbulletin that aims to give points or reputation similar to ebay feedback to forum vendors and buyers.

100 % Yes

Admins dont have time for that.

I voted no.

Basing buying decisions on a system that can easily be manipulated just makes no sense to me.

all you need is a good working search function (hint, hint..) and some common sense :2 cents:

No one would force you to use the system.

True, but haven't we been asking for that for years now?

Tosspot is right on this one.

:thumbsup

the idea is that you actually check the references. if you see a list of fucking nobody fake nicks pumping up a nobody name, it should be pretty fucking obvious.

i say give it a go, how could it be any worse than reputation?

what he said

voted yes (if brps won't abuse it and everybody use it in a decent way)

It would make a nice addition.

How would it be different than the "rep" system we had before?

You can see who's given itrader to the person and draw your own conclusions as to whether it's legitimate or not. Rep was just an ePenis. iTrader actually serves a purpose. All the forums I do a lot of business on have iTrader.

You could review all the info: Who gave a user a positive comment? What business thread are they talking about? What kind of transaction took place?...

No one would be forced to use it, but it would be an additional tool for people who want to know who they are dealing with.

iTrader is open for everyone to view the ratings, you could see who has dealt with the seller/buyer, what they had to say regarding the transaction, and a link back to the original thread which facilitated the transaction. It is an effective way of establishing a reputation, not just some offbalance +/- system with no rhyme or reason like rep was.

edit: pretty much exactly what was said above me :1orglaugh

so basically same as rep, except who left the rep and why is public?
