iTrader is now active

[sswilson]

For those of you who haven't used iTrader before, it's important to keep in mind that it's still a user driven indication of rep. If you see somebody who's got 100+ positives, but they're all from the last week... be concerned. :)

It's also a good idea to do some cross referencing to the folks who left input. Above all there are still no guarantees to this. Scammers know (just like ebay) how to "game" the system so keep vigilant.

Heatware is still a valid system, and we still encourage sellers to include links to it if they have it. iTrader is mostly a local thing for these forums. I have seen folks request that buyers pop in to give feedback, but this isn't a global thing. If somebody gives an iTrader reference on another site, it's not going to update onto this site.

Edit... as to how it got 1000 views.... must be a really popular thread.... :) (iTrader was tried on the site over a year ago and was shut down because of incompatabilities. Gav just resurrected the same thread. :) ).

I encourage anyone who had any past good or bad experiences to go ahead and put them into iTrader so we can get up to date.

Also note that the iTrader info box will only be viewable in the BST area and no where else in the forum.

This is a good system.

They use it at OCN and I always check it when doing a deal over there.

So to clarify, we should start leaving feedback to all the transaction that have occured in the past?
