?????????????????????????????????? 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:
Read the included readme file, it explains everything.

Yes you can use the same thread link and submit feedback as many times as they want which I don't like about it either.
I think the strict url checking pretty much ensures that a deal is valid. If your members are that untrustworthy than you probably have bigger issues to deal with. Also there is a time limit for how often they can rate the same person, and the max number of ratings per day (for new traders - though the code could be modified to apply to all).

Yeesh, sorry for neglecting this mod guys... I just realized how time flies when work keeps you busy... Is it 2007 already?
I *have* a newer version on my development box (I can't tell you how much it is completed), which is currently sitting without a hard drive. Not to fear though, I have the whole image sitting on another machine. It's just a matter of me swapping a few hard drives around so I can finally get one back in that box, doing a restore, etc, etc...
I'll try to get the machine back up and running today and get to work on releasing a new version soon. There's a few changes I really have been wanting to make (they have even been naging me), and a few additional features to make it easier on the end user & administration.
To answer some of the most common questions I get:
- Yes the current version will run on 3.6.x (if you are a new implementation)
- No I will not do a custom mod for you, sorry.
- No I will not install it for you, sorry.

Welcome back Jason.
It's sad when mod developers release a gem and then let their mods fall by the wayside.
Lots of people (including myself) rely on mods like yours as being a valuable, even critical element of our forums.
Good luck with the new version.
