In regards to Traders how about an 'ebay like' functionality which allows feedback to be left on all authorised traders profile pages. Traders also have their own sections within Parts/Cars For Sale which do not appear to the list of New Posts and are only accessible directly via the forum categories. This will allow people to browse the Traders wears and avoids PassionFord being saturated with for sale threads.

Leading on from this Traders can then manage these threads better by permitting/denying people the ability to reply. Trader can then update the thread to say now sold and the such like.

The above may help to prevent such threads which have recently appeared which show contempt towards traders whom people have had problems with. Traders who accrue far too much negative feedback agree to relinquish their ability to trade on PF.
