Buyer/Seller Feedback - improvement idea
The board has a Buyer/Seller feedback thread, but it's just a mishmash of random posts. Also, a given buyer/seller might have more than 1 post about him/her.
Another forum had a novel idea for this thread, thought I'd let you see what they do. (you may need to register an account to see)

In the buyer feedback forum, the mods have a locked thread saying "Mods check above this line". Then they have a thread for each unique member (this thread can be started by the 1st person who buy/sells from this person). When someone buys something, they add a post to that member's thread saying one of the following in the 1st line: Positive, Negative, or Flake. When someone adds to the thread, it is automatically bumped above the "Mods check above" thread. Then once a day some mod goes and updates that guy's score, which is listed in the title. For example, my feedback thread title could be "Slammer111 (10-3-1)". The mod then bumps the "check line" thread so that all future posts end up above that one again.
imo whoever figured this out on Revscene is a genius. Dunno if you and the other mods want to implement, but it would help immensely in terms of keeping people from getting scammed.
