Thanks for listening to the community and opening up the trading forum; I'm sure I speak for many when I say that it is much appreciated. I do have just a couple of quick suggestions that may help improve the trading area.

1. Rules. I think that basic rules are a necessity to help keep the forum uncluttered and usable. I would suggest certain things be banned, such as begging for free cars/handouts without anything to offer in return, offering the same vehicle up for trade to multiple people (leading to confusion regarding who will be the actual recipient of the vehicle and wasting time for those that don't eventually get the car), and... well, really for now it was just those two thoughts.

2. PSN IDs. The forum has an easy way to display your PSN ID in your post header... why not make it a requirement to do so in order to use the trading forum?

3. Feedback. Is there any sort of feedback system available that is compatible with the forum software? As it stands, the feedback thread is a good start, but it can be difficult to keep up with, especially since it is reliant upon one user to keep up to date. There are many proper B/S/T forums that utilize built in feedback systems; I'm sure there must be one that can be found as a plugin for this forum software.

4. AVAILABLE/WANTED. Is there any way to move this to the left side of the thread listing, where it will flow into the thread title? It will be much easier to read and scan the forum if this were implemented.

Thanks!
 
Glad you're enjoying the forum, I'm finding it quite fun to browse through myself. :) To your questions:

1. I'm wary of having too many rules that are difficult to police, and I'm not sure if I want my staff to be bothered to deal with users asking for freebies or someone offering a car to more than one person. If you see anyone specific who appears to be causing a problem, please don't hesitate to use the post report button and we'll take a look at it.

2. Unfortunately, there is no technical way to enforce that with the current forum software.

3. I'm not familiar with any type of feedback system that I'd like to implement here. I think it is best to use that thread or search for a user's name within the Marketplace forum to research their previous dealings.

4. Yes, maybe. I will look into it. :)
