Perhaps icons with numbers beside them, just like each user's actual trade page. If not on the forum, for whatever reason, then it would be great to have it on each user's home page so I can immediately see what someone has going on.
It would be nice to see, at a quick glance, that a guy asking to trade for Tarmogoyf x4 has...
Multi-direction arrow - 27 active trades
Bus with down arrow - 16 packages on the way to him
Bus with up arrow - 2 packages shipped outI can immediately see that said guy is either about to scam his way off Deckbox or he's just amazingly slow and probably someone I don't want to trade with either way.
That is a pretty good idea, and it is based on actions not words and opinions of other people. Though the only potential problem I see is if the guy is scamming he might as well click that he has sent his cards and then you are back to square one.
Perhaps if there was a field for tracking information, that could also be quantified. 10 trades going out, none with tracking? Possibly cause for concern if the trades are all high value.
As a developer myself I would say that you would be adding a lot of work for the guys who update this place. The Database now has to pull information from multiple sites with thousands of points of data (all of our tracking numbers) and return that to a value the database can read and then push it to our screen. Not saying it is impossible I'm saying that is a helluva lot of work. And I don't even know if the guys hear could get a connection to the databases of the delivery services (I'm guessing not) So I think the delivery thing is a bit unreal.
That is unless you are saying it's like a check box...but then again what keeps the scammer from checking that box?
