Well after the system has been up a few days on my forums I've gotten some good / bad comments from my members. Anyhow, here's a list of changes I am going to make to the system in the next day or two.
1. Re-word the text on the profile page, and require they give feedback about the buyer / seller.
The text on the left side of the profile page will probably be something more like: Buy / Sell Rating: (7)
99% positive / 1% neutral / 0% negative
With the number hyperlinking to the popup window of course. The text on the right side will also be cleaned and give a little text explaining what to do.
2. Put the username on the popup window title bar (so you know who's ratings you are reading).
3. Change the code on the profile page so that you don't even see a rating form for yourself (and probably fix the regular rating thing too).
4. Add code so that Admins / Supermods can delete feedback from the popup window. (and have it recalcuate totals accordingly)
5. Give the ability to rate a person more than once (because I've seen a person deal multiple times with the someone else). But also display on the profile page how many times you have rated the person before and have it popup just your previous comments.
6. Possibly add an optional form box so you can enter the URL to the thread where the deal was done.
Hopefully I will be making these changes tonight, and I'll give them a day to see how they fly. I'll also write up the hack and if no bugs / glitches are found then I will be posting it up officially on Thursday!
