1. Feedback - Each time a trade is made in the Buy/Sell/Swap section, give people a chance to leave feedback. This will help people see who is reputable.
2. Likes on comments - Have a green + and a red - on the bottom of posts so people can like/dislike a comment, what do you think about that?
The poll is multiple choice so please pick Yes or No for each subject.

Good idea at least it won't be abused on a site like this :good:
I like the first idea but im not keen on the second. I see no need for rating posts as negative or positive. I can see it developing into a brawl.
I think feedback might be useful although the ccf rule of number of posts has some merit on keeping bad people out of trades.
Re. Like/dislike buttons I don't like that idea for a few reasons.
1 it would likely end up as a way for a social network company to collect more data.
2 I think it actually stifles REAL interaction. If you like something, put a tiny bit off effort in and make a post. Same if you don't like what has been said. If someone made a post which just said "like" I would think it. was a pretty poor quality post. - a button making out easy does not increase the value. If someone wrote "I like what you said because ......" I think that has more value
I don't mind the first suggestion but given the volume of trades though I am fairly sure that the time spent implementing the first would far out-weight it's usefulness. I don't like the second suggestion because tools like that (and user rep systems for that matter) are abused. There was a system like it in place when this forum was first setup but it was switched off after surveying the mods. Right now if you like a thread you can rate it, just not posts.
That's fair markn, but the community is still growing and new members are coming each day, so a feedback system wouldn't be the worst idea, or are the mods going to wait till we get more member?
I see you can rate a thread by clicking on the stars. I never knew that until just now.

As far as I am concerned there'll never be a "rate the post" or "rate the member" feature here, I've never seen anything good come of them in my many years online. I like the idea of a trade reputation system but until there's a decent number of trades there's not a lot of point spending time on setting it up.
Silver stackers have a thank you button for posts, I like that idea.
Whenever someone makes me laugh in the joke section or provides informative info that was useful they get a thankyou from me :)
It just has this member says thanks under the post.
If giving a red and green dot appears, im leaving in not into that BS
I also don’t see the point of trade feedback, as most things are given away as freebies.
And some people don’t want others to see what they are trading once again silver stackers has a basic feedback system where you just say thanks for the trade. I have a number 2 with my username, which mean I have made 2 trades/purchases I don’t really care if people are that into getting points for what you do.
If I like you ill trade with you If I don’t then its tough t*
It doesn’t take a genius to suss out people that are ok and people that are not.
That's where I got both my ideas from, I like the say thanks button. Feedback at least shows us if people have been doing some bad things.. for example the other day I went on ss to purchase some coins. The guy had +2 feedback. I went into the feedback and it said he had 4 + and 2 - feedback. I didn't purchase from him because I wasn't comfortable in doing so.
