?????????????????????????????????? Description:
iTrader for vB 3.5.x & 3.6.x has evolved from Trader Ratings for vB 3.0.x which evolved from Buy/Sell/Trade User Rating System for vB 2.x. This is a rating system for when members buy / sell / trade items from each other (presumably on a FS section of your forum). It is somewhat based on the honor system since there is no automatic way to truly tell if they did engage in a transaction. iTrader came about because it was a pain to try and maintain a single thread listing good / bad traders and so far has worked out quite well.
Features:
Rate another member: Positive / Negative / Neutral
Specify in each transaction: Buyer, Seller, or Trade
Leave multiple comments about the deal
Dates & IPs are all recorded to prevent abuse
Specify a thread URL to the deal
Advanced URL checking
Display ratings over time
Filter based on Buyer/Seller/Trade/or feedback they left for others
Users can edit/delete ratings left for others (time based limitation)
iTrader Admins can edit/delete anyone's ratings (just incase)
PM notification when new rating or comment is left
Per-usergroup permissions
Lots of admin controllable options
Installation / Upgrade Info:

Release History:
2.0.1 - December 18, 2005
2.0.0 - December 14, 2005
Chrisbaktis - I'll be releasing an update today, and that will be included as an admincp option.
Areku - Admin's override all restrictions, for various reasons, that's why you can leave multiple feedback within the restricted timeframe. If a postid is submitted in the URL all it does is back-check to the the threadid, it's just there for convience. I allowed duplicate threadid's because on many sites a person has a single "FS" listing URL, thus multiple people could end up linking to it. Like I said, a person is free to edit this however they feel fit for their own forum use. Everyone runs their forum differently, for instance, in my FS/WTB sections, a user can create the thread and edit it, but that's it. People can not reply because that would alter the natural order of items being listed FS.
zlos - I'll be sure to fix that with the next update.
Here's a quick list of some things for the 2.0.1 version. I'm sure there is more but these are just off the top of my head. It's late and my brain is only halfway functioning so I'm going to wait to release this till tomorrow so I can double-check everything one last time and make sure I package up everything properly in the zip. If I do it tonight I'm sure there will be something small I'll miss.
Please let me know if I happened to miss any bugs. I looked over the thread tonight and did not see anything that I haven't fixed. I meant to get this out earlier today but one thing always leads to another, you know how it goes.

Several Changes In Upgrade Script to process users in batches
Checks PM for errors before attempting to save
