I just wanted to throw this idea out there:
I understand as it is now, the moderators are trying to instate some kind of buying selling rating system thing. As great a thing as this is, I have a simple solution that can be used temporarily while the system is developed, or even to stay permanantly.
In the product and service reviews section, there should be a sub forum for threads pertaining to the successes and failures of buisness transactions between members. This would be somethig along the lines of...say, for example, I have a good transaction with a seller, I can make a thread and post about my transaction. If anyone else has had a transaction with that member, albeit good or bad, they can leave additional comments.
In such a way everyone who has sold something will essentially have a thread dedicated to their transactions, public, for anyone to see. It could be helpful if a member wants to purchase something, but doesnt know if the seller is reputable or not. This would also be a good place to relocate the hundreds of EdKnot threads (Hell, that guy can fill his own forum)
To make it easy to access, It might be a good idea to make a link to that subforum under the wanted / for sale forum as well, for quick refrence
So..there it is. I cant help but feel it is a good idea, but of course, im not in charge here. Im not sure what plans the higher ups have, but here is an dea to consider and discuss
