Alright, a couple threads ago I created a post to list all the credible money traders on this site. Due to recent activity with real life, I am unable to fully complete what I started. Although I am working on it ever so slowly, I would like to possibly have some assistance.

Within this thread, if you want to voice opinions on how I, or we if I get some help, should go about editing the thread and listing everyones trades, I would much appreciate it.

Currently, the way I am going about listing all the information is a very simplistic way. It doesn't include every trade amount ever traded by the person, just the total. An example would be:

MSU221 ($61.60, 4) PS: MSU221

Where the first screenname is their FT name, the first number is the total amount of cash traded, the number of trades, and any names they listed on other sites.

I have kept record so far of every trade post, who the traders are and how much cash was exchanged. It's not much, but if the community would like to have a document of all trades (MSWord?) then I would be willing to work on it in my spare time.

This is for you guys, and if anyone would like to help, get in touch with me in a PM and I will give you more information on how to contact me off these forums.

Again, any ideas, feel free to post with what YOU guys want.



PS: Being able to edit posts within 2 minutes of posting would be awesome so I don't have to look like a fool and make a new thread. Smile

Not going to make a new post for this, but as to listing the total amount traded by the person and not showing every trade, could possibly lead to future scams from the said person.

One thing that has been running in my head is how scammers can abuse this listing. I know nothing is ever perfect, but coming pretty damn close would be awesome. Of course patch work will be needed, I don't know everything, and I am sure someone who is really wanting money will come and find a way to break things.

Anyway, without ranting much more, one of the drawbacks to not listing every trade and only the total is that (for example purposes only!!!) say clamper13 wanted to scam someone. No one knows exactly how much he has in his accounts, but I bet everyone can send him money knowing that if he couldn't do the trade, he will send it back or just decline if you ask him.

But say that clamper13 has had a major bad streak of cards as of late, say he's down to oh 20 bucks or so. He needs cash, quick. What's he going to do, come here. He has an excellent track record according to the Site-to-Site trade post, all the trades totaling over a couple grand, all the viewer would know is he has traded a lot of money. He could've had multiple trades for 10, 20, 30 whatever bucks, nothing large at all. All of a sudden he sees it, the post that will get him rich quick. ScamMePlease is looking to trade $1000 from FT to PS. Clamper13 comes to the rescue, says he can do it but ScamMePlease sends first KNOWING clamper13's amazingly clean record. Yadda, yadda clamper13 is up $1000 bucks. ScamMePlease is left with nothing.

Now, most would call this unreal and will rarely happen, but this is the sick crap that goes through my head >(.

I can see how someone with a good listing could easily scam someone. That is why you should just use Clamper. He wont scam anyone, has helped hundreds of people. he even goes out of his way to research potential scammers and finds out their alias', monkey accounts, etc. He is now a mod for his good work and would never scam anyone.

On another note if one person on the good list scammed someone then in the poker world they are dead. They would never get loaned or traded money with again. Everyone online would know what they did and they would not be welcome to any forum.
