Should you really give iTrader for a free gift?

    Hi!

    I just got red dot because I did not give iTrader back for a free gift. Actually this gift is not his even it is just a download link. But I see many traders have like 100 iTraders and maybe 200 posts only. Should we REALLY ask and give iTrader for free stuff? Or just a green dot?

    There is no TRADE going on there more then that you actually trade points and that is pretty pointless for all off us. You should be able to trust the points and iTrader and you can not when some one have 50 iTrader for given away free stuff.:confused:

    I give green dots instead if I think the stuff that they give away was good and it was not a warez or something like that.

    Finally I think people give away to little green dots they might think that you loose some points or something. But when some one help you give some green to the person you might make his/hers day a much better one. I know I always smile when I get a green and I always give green as much as I can when people help me.

    Most of my green come from helping the moderators catching spam or stopping warez being sold and off course then I get red to from the people that sell warez but I think we all should work together to keep this forum clean :)

    I agree with you... I don't give out itraders for free stuff... I think it shouldn't be allowed since a scammer can have tons of positive itraders all from free stuff.

    As for reps, I think that's the best way to show appreciation when it comes to free stuff :)

    I Trader isn't a commodity which is to be traded along. Rep is the best way to go, and at the most people might go for a trade itrader rather than a buyer or seller one.

    And Yellowberry, the red dot isn't going to affect you too much, is it ??? Your rep is good enough to cope with that

    Liverpoolfan no i am fine :) it did not shake me roots that much but i think the managment for this forum should stop the free iTrader points and make sure there is at least a trade or some money going trough.

    8everything totally agreewith you :) and you with me!

    Itraders shouldnt be given away for free unless you traded something.

    Give greenies instead.

    Yeah! Greens rock :D

    I think most people don't know how to use the reputation system? (the button is kind of hidden), but it would be perfect if they used it instead!

    Yeah, I think it was suggested in the feedback forums already :( no changes have been made...

    lol, this isn't the first time I was asked this. I do it by hand ;) I know, I should stop changing it so much. It's too fun and it's so easy to make in photoshop :p

    itrader would also be good, if all the people would be honest, but scammers aren't so stupid...and a scammer could come, offer free things to members to get high itrader and them scam :| after he will gain trust

    You do not trade anything. You get a free gift what do you get in return? Nothing? You are actully trading a green for a free gift so it will not work. I seen so many with HIGH itrader score now and people do not want to put a RED they are scared to get red back. And if you only have 1 and the scammer have 83 he looks very good in all eyes.

    If the mods see this please put in a POLL as well would be fun :)
