Why have "Ref Check" threads never caught on here?

slinger256

When making purchases and trades on some other hobby forum websites I am involved in, ref check threads asking about users credibility are quite common. Why are they not used here in the Lost Dogs forum at all? I understand they are not bullet proof however giving people some props from prior deals can be comforting to parties involved. When the A+ trader list disappeared (not sure why?)that extra level of confidence disappeared so would this be against board rules to do? Simple like "ref check on User A and User B"...then a little feedback from people who have dealt with them.

Prior trades and purchases here I've made did feel like a bit of a gamble. I have another trade I'm working on with a boardie overseas and I got to admit, a little kudos from others would go a long way.

This thread was alive for a long time and is a list of "A+ Traders/Selllers". The problem was that some people that were listed as great traders were porking people :-q

Who really knows? This forum can really shine and at times stink.

Yeah it would be nice.

I sent a member on here a MONEY ORDER and they followed through like a champ.

He should have been rewarded with a thumbs up for sure.

if my memory serves me, it seems like the A+ traders thread was closed on purpose

I think you are correct.

You are correct. One of the main operators of the list was rumored to have more than a dozen bad deals out there.

All in good spirit but just fucking silly that list.

so what happened to the list here? it was around, and then it wasn't?

Word to the wise. Ask around. Message folks if you have concern. Also view the user's posts, if they are active users here on the message board. Many folks that were on that old list haven't even posted once on the boards. Also add the last forum, we were able to click on the profile and see when they were last logged into their account. It's tough to notice now if the user read your message or has been logged in here recently.

Fuck that list.
