Hey, Adam... I just received a pos. reference, and I noticed that the other guy accidentally put the state I USED to live in (VA) in there as my state... then I noticed that ALL of my trades have my state listed as VA... I moved to MO more than 2 years ago. Everything after December 2003 should be Missouri.
Did this somehow get changed during the server switch?
Is there any way I can get it switched back?
I don't want to worry about having to risk people thinking that someone is trying to hijack my account when they see my ref's are all VA, but I'm asking them to send to MO.
Thanks!
Eric

I think what this situation needs is some imagination.

Whoops, probably should have warned you guys about this one, it's no hacker, it's just me monkeying around.
The data for the ITL was all over the place. Take for example "country". I had references for "US", "USA", "America", "United States of America", "pantsville", "denial" (oh wait, that's state).
So, what I did is I took everyone's references wrote a script to do this:
1. Take their "country" field.
2. Count up how much of each value there are in it, let's say you had 10 refs which said "United States of America" and 2 which said "horse".
3. Set all of your references to the highest value, so all of your references now say "United States of America".
There's a bit in there about you have to have at least 4 references with the same value, so if you've got "USA", "US of A", "America", that got left alone.
I did it for Country, State and in assigning your username to a specific reference (if it wasn't already there).
This works perfectly, as long as you don't have someone like you were they just moved and all of their refs go to the old state they lived in.
I have fixed your account, they all say MO now. If anyone has any problem with their trade rating in any fashion, send me a PM. If I don't get back to you, send me another, I get quite a few requests for little tweaks like this.
