Should we add iTrader and Thanks Mod

**Brandon Sheley** · 10-09-2008, 11:01 PM

I've seen a few suggestions for one or the other lately, I did have the thanks mod installed at one time, and might of had iTrader as well?
Either way, they were removed during one of my cleaning binges.

I'll add a poll, so vote for what you want
you can pick more then one

I wouldn't mind iTrader, usually a good thing to have if you have a classifieds section.

Not a huge fan of the thanks or groan mods really.

iTrader... "Thanks" mod is pretty useless these days since some people like to hit the "Thanks" button for no good reason.
Let's hope that the iTrader won't have the same misfortune.

I don't know...maybe it's because I haven't been around that long, but I really like the 'thanks' mod.

**valdet** · 10-10-2008, 05:33 AM

I voted for itrader only because I find the Thanks and Groan hack pretty useless.

I have the thanks button mod on my forum, I don't think it gets abused at all, there's no point really. But if people are hitting the thanks button they aren't making a post to say thanks so it could detract from the overall post count on the forum. But folk usually don't see the thanks button and make a post anyway. It's like the rep system, if you don't know it's there, you won't use it. It's a good indication of how helpful people are instead of having a massive post count.

Not a fan of the groans mod.

iTrader is a good mod if you have a trading section.

for a big dummy like me, what is itrader?

**smacklan** · 10-10-2008, 08:57 AM

iTrader is much more useful for giving and receiving feedback...especially if you have a marketplace. Voted iTrader.

**Forum Lover** · 10-10-2008, 01:04 PM

Lets go for iTrader for sure. And trust me, ppl like to be nominated more then to be thanked as thanking has got too common already. :p

iTrader 2.1.0 (Interim Release) - vBulletin.org Forum

It would be used in the marketplace to show some past business for the members.

one thing I like with the thanks mod, is that it can auto rep as well

Thanks for showing this, I was thinking about trying to find a mod like this just earlier today. Your timing is perfect!

**Soliloquy** · 10-10-2008, 09:47 PM

I'd like to see iTrader in action (tried it on my forum but no one ever used it), and I do like the Thanks mod... (but not Groan, why encourage negativity?)

**glennybee** · 10-30-2008, 04:38 AM

Whatever the outcome, i think the marketplace should be for established members only.

This kind of thing...
