Idea for Good Traders list

surfingzeeko

What would you guys think about setting up a new thread, or editing the first post of the traders thread to have a general, alphabetized list that would be easy to reference? Just throwing an idea out there.

JSaint

That sounds like an awesome idea.

jsnake

I like it.

Sounds good. Better than surfing through hundreds of pages just to make sure he guy you're trading with isn't going to screw you.

JSaint

Now how is this huge list going to be compiled? lol

Lol thats the only problem. I have tuesday off work, I might have to get busy going through the 170-some pages hahahahaha(puts gun to head)

I would say lets put all current active brothers there like Laker myself and most of the people who postwhore everyday then update it with new people like Ol_Jalopy who I traded with last week?

JSaint

Lol I have been keeping track of the trades I have been doing and I have a list of 7 guys that are good traders.

think it would be a good idea if we're starting a new list to have a section for bad traders as well. I think guys who stiff people should be made public. It has to be a real stiff though. Not someone who just got pissed their package didn't arrive in four days.

agreed about public humility! lol

JSaint

lol Already have a name for that list.

Sounds like a bunch of really good ideas here. I think I'm gonna try and get cracking on this when I have some time.

Who gets to decide whether a brother is active or not? Some people come and go and come back to this forum with significant time lapses in-between. It would be too bad to leave them out just because they don't post whore.

Heartily agreed... there's plenty of good guys on here that have come and gone, and I would readily trade with any of them.

JSaint

Just start compiling a list guys. Since I am a pretty new to the trading game I only have about 7 - 8 guys on my list. If you guys know someone that is a good trader Im sure Surfingzeeko would like to know.

surfingzeeko

Oh man that would make it so much easier if people PM'ed me the good traders they have interacted with. The only issue with this thread as I am thinking about it, is that I don't want to kill the Good Traders and Stand up Folks thread. If only cigarstudent was on here more often, and could edit the original post....

It would be easy enough to start a new thread only for the list, and continue using the old thread to post pics, thank yous, etc.

surfingzeeko

Thats true, just have a straight up list, label it: Good Traders List(REFERENCE ONLY)

JSaint

That sounds perfect. Where would this be created in? Trades forum?

Makes sense to me!

I thought about doing this a week or so ago. If you guys want it done I'll do it. I'll start going through posts. PM people if you want.

surfingzeeko

We could do a collaboration. You take the first half, I take the second, create word files for it and combine.

So far i have about 117 names starting with the most recent posts.

surfingzeeko

Well nevermind then LOL keep up the good work. btw, your package went out today, hope you're ready for some heavy lifting lol

Gentleman

Haha, I'll get a forklift on standby

We do this on one of the gun boards I belong to. After each name will be a +1, +21, +4 -1, whatever number of positives and or negatives they have received. Works well.

Gentleman

The holy list has been formed!
