MODS: Could AZB have a "trader rating" feature?

[mosconiac]

I visit a number of boards and many of them have active trading forums (like AZB does). Those boards have a "trader rating system" that helps people determine whether an individual seller is a good bet or not. Sorta like the ratings seen on eBay. IMO AZB posters would benefit greatly from this feature.

For example, I just had a fantastic transaction with BazookaJoe, but I can't let everyone know w/o posting a thread about it. He PM'ed me consistently, helped me track the package, and even PM'ed me to see how I like the product. What a great guy! I wish all sellers were this attentive and thoughtful.

Anyway, what are the chances that a "trader rating system" can be implemented?

On other forums I post at we have a seperate forum called GBU: Good Bad and Ugly. Basically its a forum to drop a lthread in about transactions you made with people and how ell they went. Most of the time its nothing but good threads in there with great transactions, but occasionally you get the one bad deal.

It encourages people to talk about the transactions even if there was nothing to talk about, and informed others of good sellers and the trustworthy. Also it keeps threads like that out of the other discussion forums. I recently had an awesome transaction with Al-Fahl Amir. Awesome guy with great communication!

I always thought it would be nice to have two rows of rep. One row has rep as a poster, the other as a buyer/seller. That way you can tell by looking at rep. points.
