That is possible, but with almost 8000 users, I would have to rely on users to tell me. Rather have it all automated if possible.

I can verify threadid, but actually verifying people is a whole different issue. One problem arrises, say the person selling the item never shipped it, and thus the buyer gave them bad ratings... If I made it so the seller entered a field with the persons name, the seller might choose not to do it (or even might forget to do it). Another scenario is members who deal but through PMs and not an actual formal thread...

That's why I'm starting to think it might be better to just create the full blown auction / classifieds rather than keep doctoring up just the current ratings...

On my forum I really don't have a problem with members abusing it, they all are pretty honest.

Another idea would be if a member abuses it, set an option in their profile so that they can't rate (or be rated)... would that be a possible solution you think?
