Trusted Coder/Designer Scheme for VB.org

[Paul M]

I actually tested iTrader on my local vb.org test forum about 18 months ago, but in the end it never went any further. TBH, I cant remember why now, but I think it was just lack of time. Its never been completely ruled out, but its not top of the list of things to look at.

no one is asking them to referee - just to install a system that is fair to be sides.
If this seems to be falling on deaf ears then make a public vote and ask members what they want.

I think itrader would be a good idea for this problem. It may not be the best, but it would at least help build credibility for the newer users at the Org.

By all means have a vote, but please remember that we dont make decisions based purely on public (or private) votes.

actually, Paul, your role here is to satisfy the community -- globally -- if we have 50 voters, i don't think it would be representative... but if we have 2000, maybe it would be just fair to do something... i personally don't care about a system, i think vb.org is not a repository for references or a portfolio.
a vote or so.. .lol


i give a positive vote here... there is no more than 50 voters here!

voted YES but how many people are going to see this thread.
Also the feedback system would cover members as well not just Coders/Designers as it has to cover both sides of the deal.

I can see where Paul is coming from.

The mods Do a grand job here its gonna make it worst if we expect them to police this feedback idea, Thats why a system like i trader or some sort of referance tool will let the members decide for themselves based on the coders/designers feedback, a system like that would not require any input from the staff as its purely run by input from the members themselves.

The fact Remains, we're never going to stop this from happening, but we can do something to reduce the risk.

I think its a great idea and definately worth a shot, if it don't work after 3 months, then Scrap the idea, But if everyone had a choice to either do something about it or close your eyes and pretend it don't happen, then i'd know which i would chose

If only that were true, but in reality, someone who gets a bad mark will complain its false/unjust - people will use it to falsely bad rep others they dont like etc etc, staff will have to spend time checking for abuse.
