re. rep
(at the risk of getting mega nergs. I think it's inherently dangerous posting in a thread where it has been graphically illustrated that some 99% of all nergers are reading)

Velocio said yeah no meh would be a useful system..

but I think ultimately it will be hard to find a way of having a rep "score", aggregated over multiple reps or nergs, that gives any useful information. someone could be a shit seller but mega lols in the gif thread, or they could have lots of mates, or be older registered, all of which confound the measure but aren't of direct relevance to the useful benefit of having a score, i.e. knowing "this is a decent bloke/I can give him my money for shit"

Soooo

would it not be possible to have a feedback for sales (which could be "white space" i.e. ebay style one line description of how it went)
alongside a rep score much like current one which is just a measure of how banterrific you are

I appreciate

1. This would just be formalising the bad/good traders threads
   and
   
2. I'm not sure how you encourage someone who has bought/sold to leave feedback on each other's profiles, without getting loads of faux feedback from 3rd parties since we have no inbuilt mechanism of checking whether a sale really occurred.
   
   

But yeah. it would be really useful to be able to click a seller's name and see:

+1: Fast delivery, as described
+1: All good
+1: Missing part but replaced fast
-1: Didn't send for 3 weeks
-1: There was a turd on my saddle
+1: Nice bike

etc. to make an informed decision
