Trading is done with people who have things to trade, if you GIVE to the noobs, you should be rewarded... a trade rating would help further your progress with older members... I personaly upped general ratings as I didnt know what the trade rating was for...

i am pretty sure alot of the people that give giveaways here at the shroomery are big hearted and generous.
your point is invalid because they could get trade ratings by trading and most of the people that give to the community already have excellent trade ratings.


This is true.  Before I was here one month I did a giveaway.  and have done several since.  I would not have a trade rating without doing a giveaway infact had ppl not want to trade with me because I didn't have a rating.  I understand not wanting to trade with someone who doesn't have a rating.  At the same ppoint I give everyone I see doing a giveaway a 5 general rating.  This is because I like to see ppl giving back to the community.  If I partake in the giveaway when I receive the print I give a trade rating.  I agree with doc about giving a 3 shroom rating I would rather not get a rating thean a three shroom rating.  I dont think you owe anyone anything.  I think that if you want to give a trade rating then go ahead.

When I did my give away.. I got mostly general ratings.. that's cool, or if you give it a trade rating that's cool.. or if you give no rating.. that's cool too. Some people need that bump to get going on here.. I don't see the harm. Though on the real side of it, I do think a trade (as I am sure it is defined) has not really taken place. Perhaps as Chasawah stated, it should be made as a polite request, not really a requirement. Either way.. doesn't bug me.

I see what you mean about how you would rather receive no rating.  But what if it is a full trade from both ends, you sned yours right away, you wait 3months for yours, and what you got was a half print. What would you do there? no rating, or a 0trade rate? :shrug:

It seems, then, that giveaways are indeed trades...quid pro quo (freebie for a rate). I have supplies and prints that I would be happy to pass along to allow a new member to qualify. Would posting these  items in Mushroom cultivation be a benefit to those who have no access to the Marketplace? I'll try it and see how it flies...

I think that hmmmmmmmm what would I do hmmmmm give a five still but state the circumstances in the comment box.  I did receive something.  I guess I am just to nice.  I don't really give bad ratings I would rather not rate someone than give them a bad rating.  I am not saying I haven't given bad ratings, but there are extreme circumstances that cause me to look i didnt give chas a bad rating even after he gave me one.  I still gave him a good ratng.  Which is stupid but whatever thats the sort of person I am I guess.

it's been my understanding that trade ratings are for any time goods/services change hands. trade ratings show how well a person performs when sending said goods/services. general ratings are more personality based. a "trade" doesn't HAVE to be two people sending things. trade ratings should be used (IMHO)any time goods/services are exchanged.

I have seen plenty of "to newbies only" giveaways on here. I see the justification.. I think there was one yesterday. This is a cool community, while the system is set up to keep the quacks out of important dealings, there is much to be said for spreading the knowledge and ability (including supplies) to those interested. You may be helping the next ground breaker in this field get his start, or letting someone find out that he/she just isn't cut out for it.

That's what I do.. and hell, I have made people wait an extra few days before, and I have waited.. so, whatever, things don't always work out as planned.. bomb me or just move on it's all good. But, it would take a lot for me to bomb someone on trade ratings.
