Changes to the Reference System (part 2 of 4)

Post by TrademasterAdam »

Ok, here's where we are at now:

Completed:
1. The reference system goes off of your username so you can change emails to your heart's content.
2. It's faster than it has ever been (costs no additional system resources)
3. I went through all of my emails and PMs and fixed everyone's references. PM me at TrademasterAdam if you have a reference which is not correct or you need your references consolidated.

Next:
1. Everyone needs to get in on this poll: http://bartertown.com/trading/viewtopic.php?t=22394 We are going to start relating your location to bad references, so here at Bartertown, you get:
a: the person's reference score.
b: everyone within XXX miles who has a bad reference (with a click on the upcoming "check if there are bad traders in the area".

2. Another little innovation which I think will be incredibly effective for finding and stopping suspected bad traders. "Pending" trades (more info to come).

3. Some form of editing the references you gave other people to some extent (get in on this poll here: http://bartertown.com/trading/viewtopic.php?t=22461 )
