    Not sure if BIFs are a big enough part of the culture to do this but it would be very helpful for those running and/or participating in a BIF to be able to see a history of BA's successful or not completions. Ideally, I think the BIF organizer would send out invitations to all those participating and would be able to leave very simple feedback without the need for comments... something like "completed satisfactorily" or "did not complete" where "did not complete" may warrant comment such as "xxx abandoned BIF while owing 2 boxes"

    I definitely think there is a need for feedback related specifically to BIF's. I believe there is a big enough portion of the community that would make it worthwhile to implement. It would tremendously help BIF organizers and possibly help prevent people from not delivering their end of the deal.

    I think @hansenm72 has some great ideas. Ideally it would be a one way feedback by the BIF organizer. He/she would send out something similar to a trade request which everyone would have to accept in order to participate in the BIF. Keeping it simple (like hansenm72's idea) would be plenty sufficient. No comments necessary unless the other participant did not send at all, send on time, etc.

    Basically, I contributed nothing other than endorsing a BIF feedback system and echoing what hansenm72 already said. I know you guys have a lot going on but I think this is something well worth looking into at some point.

    I think it would be awesome to have a BIF Tool. I think something like the new system we have for our tags, like "savant" and such is in order. For example, someone completes 5 BIFS we can call them "partner" or something like that. 15 BIFS would be "associate". 25 would be "comrade". Something along these terms would let folks know that these guys hold up their end of the bargain when it comes to these kinds of things. Same thing like the "savant", we put a number to it so we can see how many successful BIFS one has. It would be a quick way for someone to say, hey allow this guy or hey this guy sucks.

    The "feedback" should be simple. Either you completed or didn't complete the BIF in whole. So the organizer would throw an invite or something to that extent to a user. That user accepts. If that user does not deliver on his/her end of the BIF, the organizer can score them incomplete. Too many incomplete's and you become a "enemy" or a "loner" or something like that. I don't have all the terms, but I got a base idea. (Or at least I think I do)

    Ok time to go drink beers. :slight_smile:
