    reps are way more powerful just because it really takes time to build up and not easily padded like itraders.

    Dont think its easy to padup 300+ itraders..Also i feel reps are more easy to padup..you give reps to a person and in return you recv it 90% of the time...

    Depends if your posts are helpful/funny or generally people just like your post for any reason.

    you can gain itrader easily by offering some kind of services but gaining reputation is little bit difficult

    Thanks

    I agree with you bro. REP and iTrader doesn't make you superman here in DP. But for me I consider Rep like a banner size, the bigger it is the higher clicks it gets. While I consider iTrader as a targeted traffic so the higher targeted traffic then the conversion is HIGH.

    :D

    I have the same feelings as wisdomtool
    it's all about how you act on the forums, if your a jerk, it doesn't matter how many green pips or itrader points you have, I won't do business with you ;)

    I think total posts more powerful then both :D

    Now come to the main point - iTrader is powerful at BST section and REP is powerful overall at this forum.

    DON.

    That is exactly what I was going to answer. Your character on the forum and your ethics when doing business can not be measured by any rating system. People get to know you and know if you are honest and reliable.

    If you do business on DP, try to deliver more than promised and you will have people coming to you. It is easier to make money by being dishonest but all too soon the well runs dry.

    True. 100 % correct, no one bothers to give rep, until you are so powerful.

    Meh, I still gotta disagree with most of you guys. Having a high iTrader means getting the chance to do free review copies on services, not having to work as hard to prove legitimacy when offering a product, and people being more inclined to place an order with a person that has a perfect trackrecord.

    When having high reps earns you money, let me know.

    I think iTraders weigh more than reputation in the BST section. :)
