Cool hack, thanks...

I havent enabled it yet for forum members as I am sure it will be abused though!

Verification
Could you not use the same method vBulletin uses for Account Activation. The seller and buyer both get an email/PM with a link to the Add Rating page?

The activation id passed in this url could be replaced with a 'Give Trader Rating' id.

Process
I liked the idea where..

• Seller creates thread
• Offers are posted in this thread
• Seller has button on each offer post, he selects the offer he wants
• Thread goes to 'Pending'
• Both buyer and seller are sent email containing 'Give Rating' link
• If rating(s) are given, thread goes to 'Sold'
• Option to opt out for both parties
• 'Pending' status is viod if buyer doesnt respond in time (24 hours)
• Entire thread is retracted if Seller doesnt repond in time (24 hours)

What I like about this is that the entire wheeling and dealing is done in public and is testamony to a sale. If they go off and deal via their PM's then they dont get the opportunity to UP their Trader Rating.

Logicaly thinking, this isnt hard to achieve - if you know your way round vB that is!
