I think Itrader is most important when doing business. But it has to be good Itrader, not penny transactions. Secondly I check out the type of posts that the person makes, whether they are all sales pitches or all one line posts or hateful comments, etc, etc.
I'd go by join date and the itrader. If he has been a member on here for a long time and hasn't gotten in trouble, he is somewhat trustworth. itrader just pretty much ads to that.
Its a stange one... GregJ was credited with being a 'trusted developer' here on DP and he screwed a lot of folk who bought his flickscript youtube clone only to recieve zero support once he moved onto other projects after folk have paid him $200. he then promised to give the script away to another DP member to maintain the script and offer support to his exsisting customers only for that person to ignore support requests. check it out yourself www.flickscript.com, no support what so ever! how about a refund GregJ?
http://forums.digitalpoint.com/member.php?u=15850 he used to have 'trusted devoloper below his name Trusted Devoloper untill he gets a new idea! give it a couple of hours and one of his moderators on his webmaster forum will inform him that this thread is here and he will be on trying to defend his previous actions. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=192485&highlight=flickscript
thats the most annoying part, he just didnt keep his side of the deal then suddenly the 'trusted devoloper' tag dissappears!
yeah this something we have to consider how can a new member get his first point since every body agreed on itrade and REP ?! we have to consider common sense too huh
1. iTrader : How good the buyer/seller is. If a guy has 200 +iTraders for $1 trades,I may not trust him. 2. Posts: Posts matter coz it shows that the member is visiting the forum regularly and participating. 3. Rep: How helpful a person is. I consider this as well. 4. Join Date: I never looked at joined date.
itraders,when i do an transation i always look to the itraders,if the person have one red itrader i just dont to the transation
You have to take every single one of those aspects into consideration. Many people on DP have a lot of posts but can't be trusted...
i got two experience been scammed by 2 members that have a thumb up for all 4 above. both of them already been banned forever from DP. Normally, i always give a chance for new member to deal with me. Since i believe everyone must get their chance to prove their credibility. Last week i make a comments post for a good member of DP, but still not paid until now. I never give anybody bad/red itrade yet. But just warning other member on their thread.
mods lol i aint seen a mod scam anyone in 3 years, hmmm i aint seen half of them do any work in 3 months either when i think about it i guess that makes that half shammers
