"Member Feedback" software add-in -- Attn. Brains I found this on houston-imports.com, I think its a pretty neat way of keeping tabs on who would be dependable or fraudulent, it works via member based feedback, it looks like part of the Vbulletin software. Well I won't pretend like I know its a solution or I know what the hell im talking about, but for those who want a member feedback system this seems like it would work, and well at that.
SAMPLE
Ok, in the sample you could see how it works. All you do is click the feedback and it will take you to the exact thread of the transaction. Sorry, Im kinda buzzed but I just wanted to help and throw some Ideas out there. I believe member feedback is important.

That is a really neat-looking system! 
Looks like it's designed to emulate the way eBay's feedback ratings view is designed.
I found it's free code that can be added to vBulletin (not part of the default software), called Trader Ratings, which can be gotten at http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=65730

The re-registering problem gets handled by people not being allowed to sell stuff until they have at least 50 posts or have been here at least 6 months.
I think it looks pretty neat myself... there was a thread some time in the past month or so from someone wanting a ratings system, but there didn't seem to be any good way to implement it since we hadn't known about this software add-in until now.
It's up to Brains and the other admins as to whether they'd be interested/willing to use it; I'll edit the thread title to hopefully get his attention and see what he thinks about it

Its not difficult to figure out when someone has created a new account unless they access it from a different computer 
And that would be cool.....just would require someone to look after comments posted in the feedback...just like what I do now. Upset people aren't usually kind to those who bend 'em over and ram it home w/o lube(which i've gathered is how ppl usually feel).

You're probably thinking of ARP -- Address Resolution Protocol. That also works only when you're on the same segment.

Hardware addresses are only needed to address OSI layer 2 (data link) -- physically delivering packets between different hardware. It makes no sense to propagate that address beyond your first router hop, since your router has no way of knowing how to find out what machine or hardware handles my MAC address. That routing is handled higher up, in OSI layer 3 (networking) with the TCP/IP protocol.

Yea, I guess there'd be no easy way to attain a MAC address on a message board like this except if you wanted to hand trace it in individual cases. I just remember being able to do it w/linked routers and such. Like I said I'm a bit rusty and remember more theory than commands.

What do you think about doing this Brains? I'm not a very trusting person, its really hard for me to send my money to strangers. With something like this we would know who is dependable and who is full of ****.

He's been to this thread several times, but it got off-topic so we still don't have any other comments regarding the actual subject/question...XLR8, you were interested in this kind of thing in the thread that was posted in sponsor feedback not too long ago, what do you think about it?

I just took a quick glance at it and it looks like a very nice setup.
I like the part where the threads are displayed. That doesn't allow someone to just put up negative feedback without having to explain their situation. Also gives the other person a chance to reply to any negative feedback. Without registering on the site, I can't tell what you have to have to post up. Is there going to be a 24-48hour wait time for mods to confirm "pending" feedbacks? Thats the one thing I am concerned about...spamming of this function as well.
