G'day folks....

I don't trade music - but aparently a lot of you do...

I think I can do something to help out with this good/bad trader stuff.

Unless you keep all the emails from the list, it may be difficult to
remember who is good and who is bad at trading...

So - I'm a web developer, I build Web database systems and I also have a
Web server online.

In a weekend I could put together a database for you all to keep track
of good/bad trades.

Something like this (comments welcomed):
---------
to use this you have to create a user - which is validated by your email
address
each trade you do, you include the name, email and description - plus a
rating on the trade

- you would be allowed to login and make changes to the "trader reports"
you make - so if the person finally gets around to sending you something
- you can state that in the report.

so - once people add themselves as users - and add some trader reports -
you would then be able to search on a trader name - and see how they
trade - also, you could click on a link to see a list of all the BAD
TRADERS - 

I think this could cut down on bad trading - esp. if you notify the
person before the trade that you participate in the Trader Database
(some cool name will be created:-).

Feedback... Suggestions... 

BTW - Auction sites do this - I'm working on one these days and it has a
system like this.

Hasta,

Gideon
