I read a buy/sell/trade thread too late to make a purchase so I PM'd the guy that bought the site I had my heart set on and bought it from him. Now that the transaction has been completed I wanted to give the guy a positive itrader rep, but because there was no valid "Trade thread URL" I can't give him an itrader rep. Is there a way around this "feature?" and what is the reason for this requirement. It seems uneccessary.
Maybe ask the guy you bought the site from to start a thread stating it's a private sale to you, and the purpose of the thread is itrader exchange.
That's a good idea. I was just poking around a bit and got my answer on this and I can see there is potential for abuse of the itrader system. Moderator, feel free to close this thread as complaint/feedback is withdrawn. @ eXe, thanks for your help--I'm gonna do just that.
