    Nice to see all the listings from the bad traders list.

    can we request trades of prior trades in order to leave feedback or is the system only for use for future trades?

    So long as it's a legit trade, I see no problem with this in order to establish past trading partners.

    where does the person who has been requested of a trade find it? in alerts? We agreed on a trade and i sent the request but he says he doesn't see it.... Thanks.

    It's hard to find right now, but I'm working on this.

    In the meantime: http://beeradvocate.com/user/trades?view=pending will do the trick.

    I like the system a lot. Very simple and effective. The one thing I'm not fond of is that to be considered an active trader and have their trading stats and feedback show up you need to mark at least one gots as "for trade." Wouldn't bad traders with negative feedbacks be able to hide by not having any gots for trade? Also, I don't like to list beers as gots for trade. I would rather post ISO:FT threads when ready to generate trade requests. I think if you have one feedback, positive or negative, that should activate the trading info on our profiles permanently. Thanks!

    No. They won't be able to hide. Everyone can still see their beer trading stats and they'll show up on our bad trader list (forthcoming).
    You raise a good point here. I'll give it some thought.

    They need to have marked at least one got as "for trade" then the stats block will be presented. Look at my profile, it's the block below the beer karma stats. You can click on the number/percentage (1/100%) to get to my trade page. So, if the person hasn't marked any gots for trade then you won't see anything.

    For now, you can access a members beer trading page via their profile page. Look for Beer Trading Stats > click the "(trades) / (feedback) %" link.

    How do you tag your gots for trade?

    Go to your GOTS, there is a check box to the left, click it, then scroll to bottom of the page, where there are two options, TRADE or REMOVE. Click TRADE and the beer you had selected above will now have a Y next to it - all the way to the right indicating it is open for trade.

    Getting some "You've already requested a trade with this user in the past week" messages even though I haven't.
