List trusted members here

Hi all,

Just curious as to who you have delt with that kept to the deal and acted quickly here on the forums.

I am finding myself doing more and more business here at DP and wouldnt mind knowing who is cool and who isnt.

The names that come to mind for me are:

smindsrt
ysf1
mysticmedia (have done a ton of business with mysticmedia)
serenity
whatifind
Sandwalker
Henny
Gibson
GTech

There are plenty more but this list was very quick with PM's payment and quickness of the deal altogether.

How about you lot?

 

I would add

Imran

to the list

 

It would be nice if there was a seperate rep scale for the B/S/T forum....

Like 1-10 rank of what you thought of the service/quality of work.

That would be cool...

 

I know Shawn has shown interest in developing that so maybe it will be implemented in the future.

My list is similar to the first post with the following being big ones (well ones I have had transactions with):

mysticmedia -link buyer/seller
serenity - provides content
seBasic - Design work
weirfire - General coding
Also:
dcristo
smindsmrt
dct
onlinedude
samsam
I, Brian
Nitin M
just-4-teens
zman

 

As a side note, I always give a green rep when a transaction goes really smooth and easy. I think those that don't post a lot but contribute heavily to the trustworthiness of Buy/Sell/Trade should have some rep to show it

 

I haven't had transactions as such with all of these, but I would completely trust the following members -

will spencer
yfs1
serenity
whatifind
westhaven
T0PS3O
wwhhomes
newsniche
compar

 

I guess I'll add to the list...

I would trust these guys with any information regarding my sites or any ideas I have...
yfs1
T0PS
Weirfire
dct
Foxy
DesignAgent
SiteTutor
Stretch

I would trust these guys with work.
Nitin M
Sandwalker
Lady78
exam
dominic
noppid

Prolly more, but it's all I can think of right now.

 

Nice idea for a thread. Mine from recent experiences and memory:
Ajeet
smindsrt
sji2671
yfs1
jlawrence
obenix
T0PS3O
Baz@rr
tresman
AfterHim.com
tuning
honey
SEBasic
Sorry to anybody that I missed it wasn't intentional

Edit: had to add Oli

 

Thats a good point. A ranking system for Buy/Sell/Trade would also be useful to gauge if there is any risk in providing server access which is sometimes neccesary for certain freelance jobs.

 

I'd trust
Shoemoney as long as fryman. Both seem like good people

 

A transfer rating such as the one on SRTForums would actually be pretty cool. Check it out:

and clicking their feedback brings you to an eBay feedback-like page. vBulletin go!

 

Im starting to do this now.

I think that is a kick ass idea.

 

I think this system is awkward.

Never done business but I would.
Crazy Rob, Shawn, Summer, Shoemoney all of whom will probably have a low business ranking because they have no need to really do much actual business on dp.

Someone who sells more is likely to get better rep, open to rigging, if youre in the club then youre in the club etc, people have different ideas of what good business/ deal is.

It would probably be far easier to just 'tag' those that cross the line with a 'dont do business with me title', ban them from those forums or something and let people be their own judges on who is worth it.

yfs you seem to be catching alot of the scammers anyway

 

Although the real value of the4 system would be open comments so that the buyer could decide. I agree that if its just a blob its useless but having the comments available just gives you one more evaluation tool

 

Perhaps I didnt post this in the proper context.

Im more of looking to find those that have steller records on doing business. Those are the folks I would turn to first.

A system may help with this no?

 

Great ideas so far.

 

First of all the people I have done business so far on DP and has gone smoothly are;

yfs1, Cyclops, Crazyhorse, Hodgedup. There are a few others but I cant remember who they are.

I think any system you build for BST could be easily falsified. Ideally you would have an average score out of 10 where people would rate you between 1 and 10 but since there is no way to decipher what a jobs description is people could easily forge jobs they've done and give each other 10s.

Unless DP had a system where you posted a job and there was someone that would get the job posted. This would be kind of like an eBay system where you give positive or negative reputation then this has a possibility of working.

This would be a lot of work for Shawn though at no return... (unless he started charging per job posted)

 

We sure are, right, bud?

Don't worry abot trusting here... we are all decent guys, any scammer gets the boot or ends up with red rep, it is easy to see who you shouldn't trust (although there are some guys like ys1 that trust red people and end up loosing 20 bucks, lol)

 

Lol...That was a buyer beware sale, thats for sure

Now I have to eat cat food for a week because that was my food money

 

Why not just eat the cat?
