    We've made the following changes to our Beer Trading Feedback System based on feedback from the community.

    Okay Rating
    To add more depth to beer trader feedback, an Okay rating has been added. An Okay rating will count towards your total trades, however, it's ignored when calculating Reputation (see below).

    Reputation
    We've replaced Feedback with Reputation, which is also a percentage that's calculated as:

    (good / (good + bad)) * 100 (rounded)

    So if a BA has closed 10 trades, of which 8 were good, 1 was bad, and was 1 okay, their Reputation would be 89%.

    Updates
    • You can now edit your sent feedback text and ratings. Eventually we'll implement a time limit, but for now we'll let everyone make any pending edits.
    • You can only request trades with users who've logged in within the last 7 days.
    • Added "Repeat Traders" (trades - unique trades) to note how many BAs have traded with the trader multiple times.
    • A "Cancel" button was recently added for those who submit a trade request. This should resolve submitting a request by mistake and unresponsive traders. It'll also reset pending counts.
    • Starting this week, pending or open trades over 30 days will now be closed daily.
    • Misc style adjustments.
    Fixed
    • Accepting a trade request didn't clear the "pending" alert or update "open" count.
    Will trading stats by updated?
    We plan on doing a mass update soon, otherwise stats update hourly based on the last time you logged in, or when you preform most tasks within the beer trading system.

    That's it for now. In the meantime, keep the feedback flowing ...

    Good / Bad Beer Trader Lists
    To keep things fresh, I've adjusted both sidebar lists to only display users who've logged in within the past 7 days.

    Fixed: Okay rating icon wasn't displaying.

    Okay & Reputation
    During our team discussion this morning, we decided that an Okay rating shouldn't impact (our count towards) your Reputation. The calculation has been updated.

    Good, Okay, and Bad. What do they mean?
    Added text ...
    • Good (expectations were met)
    • Okay (expectations were met, but ...)
    • Bad (expectations were not met)
