I see that a recent thread was pulled from the board, probably at the thread starters request and I understand the feelings as to probably why BUT there should be some record for members of this board old and new alike to be able to see what they are possibly getting in to trading with members here...just my opinion of course...Maybe ccom can implement some kind of trade rating for each memeber that members can track their trade success/failures...

I agree. Even the "good trader's list" is difficult, because it is unchangeable and fairly unsearchable. So good AND bad, there is an issue, and we need some way to better know who to trade with.

I can understand the exception would be if there was some issue of slander, but as you said, facts should remain on the board. Slanderous remarks or comments can be removed or edited without removing an entire thread.

I should say this with the caveat that I have never been involved in either end of a bad trade...at least I assume so, no one has told me I sent bum sticks or anything.

I try not to step on toes, but some people keep sticking their feet out.

Funny you mentioned this,, Being pretty new I was completely oblivious to anything until I read the thread that was deleted.. I do always try to keep an open mind and give people the benefit of the doubt. With that being said I'm a little more aware of the possibilities now. All in All I'm impressed by everyone that Ive had any correspondence with, as well as the content of 95% of the posts I have read.. You guys are good people.. Thanks

Would like to see that as well DD, and maintain that thread was not a bashing or unfair------more of a public service announcement that you can either heed or not heed (smokers afterall, I think we should all be familiar of these little disclaimers of what COULD happen...your choice to listen or not)

---

Never make a decision, by not making a decision.

Interesting observation DD. Big brother is always watching!

+1. If there's a trend of shady doings, dont we owe it to each other to put FACTS out there? We call each other BROTHERS of the Leaf - where's the brotherhood in watching your fellow brothers get run up in when you might have prevented it?

How about if we attach a little subjective bio to the list of addresses we email out to all the new members upon request? That way not only are our contact info and address available but where on the a'hole scale we are! Perfect!

Kidding, kidding, just throwing out a little comic relief there. I do agree, we should figure out a way to keep facts of all sorts available and searchable without it becoming a thread full of slander and off-topic heated debate.

How to do that though, that's a tough call.

Favorites are in my bio

I just want to go on for the record..I never request the thread about my trading be removed...not once did I complain...I screwed up and admitted fault was mine and would correct it. I was perfectly ok with that thread being out there.

Ill be finishing up my current trades, making good on my past bad ones, then ill be moving on from trading for good.

Would be nice if they could implement itrader ratings like most other websites. Not sure what format this forum is set up in or how easy it would be to add.

I was thinking about something like eBay has where you see their feedback rating by their name. Maybe instead of seeing a post count, you see their rating based on other member's feedback. So anytime you bomb someone or send out some lottery winnings the receiver can leave feedback for you.

That is exactly what itrader is. You described it perfectly.

I see a mini government forming here. Individuals policing themselves. We have those wanting censorship and control and others electing a free-for-all. No real rules yet. From what I see we have mostly moral men fraternizing with other moral men, following already established societal guidelines. That works for me.
When one does not follow these very loose guidelines, they get called out. Thats human nature. How one responds is quite telling. Getting called out more than once is very telling.

Being 100% honest, i've never heard of itrader until now. Having something like that here would be great imo.
And Beatnic I completely agree with everything you said except the "mini government" part. To me it just sounds like everyone wants an easier and more efficient way to know who's a good guy and who's not such a good guy. Now since we're from La, we're good guys so it doesn't really matter! hahaha

We have to police ourselves or one will form for us. We don't want that. I agree, let's follow the Louisiana way. Laissez les bons temps roulle. Heya.
