should require no modification to the iTrader system.

It will require some queries to the iTrader table to simply pull a count of the mentioned rules..

if you check to see a negative in the last 30 days and select it as a count, and count is equal to or greater than 1, then the icon shows up. None of the functionality need exist within itrader, just the small profile next to the their post and perhaps in their full profile.

That was my thought on this Zack.. email them. Trader ratings are used for this purpose and it doesn't matter that the good ratings they had didn't follow them. 1 bad rating sure eats up alot of good ones. Especially after all this time has passed and multiple tries to get this resolved. Besides, once the trade has been completed you can put a comment to that effect. Doesn't take away the bad rating and it shouldn't but it does show that the trade was finally resolved. Just my .02 (can't find that smiley). It always boils down to communication.. only takes a sec to shoot a PM.

It is very simple. The original post said it all to me. A promise is a promise, keep your word. On this forum. On your Job. To your mate. To your buds. It's all the same. It is really sad that we even have to discuss what to do if one doesn't follow that simple rule.

If you blow it, fine step up and make it right.
If things fall apart, and you can't live up to your best intensions, fine, stay with it and make it right as soon as you can.

Is it up to Puff to decide who has lived up to their word....Not really. "No unconditional bans." TMO

But in this environment (all the zeros and ones) it would be nice to know what has happened in the past so as individuals we can then decide what actions to take. How do we make this happen? I don't know all the options, but as long as the decision is up to the individual based on as many of the facts available as possible, then it'd work for me.

Okay... since it was me who was shorted I will put my 2 cents in. Today I received sticks from more people. The mods and Jitzy have been contacting people and letting them know about their obligations. I thank Jitzy for putting up sticks to cover those who did not pay, that was more than anyone could ask for and I do not want you to send any more sticks. You have been too generous. As it stands today I have now received sticks from 12 guys. 5 others have sent me messages saying they will send their sticks out soon. 2 have not responded at all. A couple of the guys who were late felt bad and sent bonus sticks... thank you very much.

When I started this thread I did not want anyone to be banned. I do not think that would be appropriate unless they did not respond to my request to respond. Some people did have stuff going on. I also did not out anyone because I wanted to give people a chance to respond on their own without public humiliation. An honorable man would accept responsibility for his obligations and take care of it. Those who do not would not care about being outed.

I will await the packages from the 5 who have responded and the 2 who I have not heard from I will just write off.

Those who have paid up have sent some great sticks and I have posted them on the Fantasy Football thread except for the ones I received today and yesterday. I will do that shortly.

Totally awesome. ditto post under fantasy football. Thanks for the update.

[cdowden3691]

Have confirmation from Derek that he recieved the sticks I sent his way. Enjoy Derek and congrats for winning the league!

It would be great if you could see the trading feedback of a member in a similar format as Ebay's, eliminating the extra step of clicking on the Trader Feedback link for every member interested in jumping on a pass/fantasy league.

Let the feedback speak for itself there is no need to stoop to their level by blatantly calling them out, even doing so would not prevent it from happening again unless EVERYONE knows about that list which will be impossible. Barney's idea ain't bad either!

Brother, you hit the nail right on the head. It's about integrity, honor, and being a man (or an honorable woman).

Cheers,
Michael
