Reef Ratings for Talking Reef Users.

Hello Rob, I has another suggestion that I got from another forum which I find extremely useful. The Manhattan Reefs Forum has a Reef Keeper Rating System which is similar to an EBay Feedback Rating, which allows you to rate a particular member on the forum for either advice given or more specifically transactions that occured. For instance if I arrange to purchase a Coral Frag from another member and I'm pleased with the transaction I can give that member a positive Reef Rating which increases their Reef Rating Score by +1 and if I was dissatisfied I could give a negative score which decreased their Reef Rating by -1. Also a neutral Reef Rating is available if the transaction was in the middle which does not reward nor remove your current Feedback Rating. Their is also a sections to give a quick label to their rating and a detailed description box to allow other members to view the entire details of the transaction. It is a great way to allow members the ability to gauge a particular transaction such as selling or buying Coral Frags, Used Equipment, etc. You touched on it with the Thank You system but I feel that this could take the Talking Reef Forum to a new level while promoting hobbyist interaction even more.
