So I've been meaning to drastically improve the marketplace. Among the changes I want to make, and we (the staff) are still talking about, are rules regarding how transactions should be carried out, expansion of categories, increased oversight over transactions (basically, make sure transactions close) and encouragement of people to do transactions on the site, so we can better assist if there's a problem. 

This is in addition to common sense things, like preventing idle chatter in for sale things, ending auction advertisements in marketplace forums (That's why the Ebay thread was created), adding transaction feedback, and an overhaul of categories and removal of closed transactions from the throughfare. 

I understand this will probably create a burden on me and others here, so we will also likely be looking to appoint people to help moderate feedback and handle thread closures in these areas. If we end up doing this, you will be exclusively privileged to that area of the forums. But that remains to be seen. 

The feedback system we're going to use is called "EZTrader" and is a free plugin. 

If anyone else have suggestions, I'm all ears. I may also be willing, once this overhaul is done, open up the OPEN threads to both search indexing and to non/guest users. I think this will give us an edge in helping to provide a better area for both users and traders to share parts.
