Buy, Sell & Trade - Freebies are racking up iTrader rep so ..

I also will support this request , The b/s/t is getting full of the FREE for itrader deals,

I say create a FRee forum as well.

You have my vote

 

iTrader already has categories of "Buyer", "Seller" and "Trade". Maybe an additional category called "Freebies" could be added.

 

This is still going on eh? No news yet? The freebies problem is getting more of a problem now! It's hard to browser through the BST section..

 

I agree with this idea too. It would be a shame if itrader became worthless.

 

Yeah.. it would defeat the purpose of having the itrader system in the first place..

 

Hoping to see inauguration of Freebies section soon. iTrader is vital status of member hence it is to be awarded for genuine reasons. I strongly support the Idea of having separate Freebies section.

 

I hate to sound like a broken record... but I too agree that this is a problem. Perhaps a freebies section isn't a solution, but rather, enforcing a rule that itrader can't be left if there is no trade (free giveaways).

 

Freebies section -> disabled itrader

If we did have a rule, it would work great if everyone followed it.. however I don't think newbies will even read the rules prior to posting.. so it'll be unknown to most of them. It's a tough one, either way, the MODs are going to have more work everday is action is taken on this!

 

Just wanna chime in with my support here too. Perhaps a gray color for itrade freebies similar to the rep system for general chat.

 

This sounds like the best solution. It would solve the problem completely.

 

I agree with this too, It's a great idea

 

I hate the word freebies. I prefer the word resources really....


Anyway, I support the notion that members should not get itrader for giving away resources (often other peoples!) or even just telling people where the resources are!

If thisd thread stays at the top, it will be addressed at some point.

 

That's a really good idea. I'm all for it.
Hope it wouldn't be too tricky to implement though...

 

Totally agreed!

With the current system only your experience with the forums can tell who are the real traders.

 

All that needs to happen is a Freebie section be created (a minute or two) and have it not qualify for iTrader, just like the rest of the forum.

That way people can provide all the free stuff they want, they just can't use it to manipulate the system.

 

If we do what ysf1 said, the freebie section will die in 2 weeks.
Since there will be no reason to give out free stuff lol!

 

Looks like da official answer from Shawn in 'It's OK to abuse da iTrader. I don't care if you all make a bunch of freebie threads just to get a ton of iTrader points. The iTrader system is worthless!!!! There for I will not make a board for freebies to stop da abuse.'

*bump*

 

They will probably still do it to manipulate rep so don't worry, your free stuff will still be there

 

Lol i never ask for itrader for free posts (which is why i support this cause)
i actually have given out like 200 so far...look at my itr
freaking thang wont get over 130!

To my last 10 buyers: Give me some freaking itrader for the post already!!! a pm that says "oh very quick!" just dont cut it bub!
