Good Trader Attribute

Might I suggest some type of attribute added to a users info or beside a name like a M or A would to signify a good trader. I'm not sure about the rest of you, but before every trade, I have to look up a users name in the Good Trader's Post, yet it would be easier for people to post something in the Good Trader's Post, and a mod or admin adds this attribute. This idea could be modified, but if it sounds too crazy, disregard it as another one of my crackpot ideas...

Everyone could start utilizing the "View Users Rating" feature in each users profile and leaving a message regarding that users good trade or bad trade.
It is down right now because of the server changes but it should hopefully be up soon.

But that doesn't mean much in terms of trading. I've seen many people that say one stupid thing, and their rating goes down to 1 even though they're great traders.

Karen speaks not of the normal shroom rating displayed under your title, but rather the dynamic rating system that can be accessed through the "View Ratings" link in a person's profile. This allows users to leave general feedback including comments regarding a sale or trade - and is independent from the normal public rating.
This feature is however unavailable until the old box arrives from the old host and 3D & Vamp can restore all the old information.

Yes, but I meant something more along the lines of an attribute of the name so one wouldn't have to look through the ratings.

scammers friends or other identities can leave positve feedback. until they are picked out and banned or forced to register as new users and most don't want to trade with newer users.
TIM, a rule of thumb should be used when trading...trade with known traders. if you are too afraid of being scammed, just forget about a trade with an unknown trader. i bet we have all been screwed by someone at least once. nothing is foolproof, but with the help of everyone leaving feedback and the help of mods and admin being scammed should close to nonexistent.

another good idea would be..
have a set of blue shrooms or whatever color below the regular ones... and let people chose to Rate this user _ stars based on their trading.
so that people can rate other peoples attitudes along with their trading ethics.
