Add Total Transacted Amount on Sidebar of Reputation Page

[Niteburn]

Could a statistic be added to show the total amount of positive-rep transactions on the sidebar of someone's reputation page.

For Example:

I feel like the reputation system rewards quantity over quality and this would be a good statistic to see how much money someone has transacted.

It would certainly be a nice addition. The only thing that annoys me about the current vouch system is that 3 people that I did successful transactions with all couldn't vouch me in the past day because it didn't let them for some reason.

I don't understand why not because you have to provide proof the transaction is legitimate anyway.

That is weird I have never ran into that issue.

Inactive/new accounts perhaps.

And how would you suggest to prevent people from cheating and claiming higher numbers just to get their ego/transaction number bigger? (assuming you are referring to all deals) I see huge potential for this feature to quickly become show off object just like Reputation for large portion of MCM members now...

This would be a wonderful idea. Great thinking!

Would this even be hard to add?

Indeed, the original can be found here: https://www.mc-market.org/threads/528286/

If any of you would like this implemented, please agree to that thread.

Back about a year ago we introduced some pretty radical changes to the way that we handle reputation. We made all reputation left by banned members be marked as uncounted in your reputation totals and disabled the reporting functionality to reduce abuse and targeted. The changes that we made were certainly controversial at the time, but looking back I'm a firm believer that the changes we made back then were the best that we could have made.

Our reputation system is very far from being perfect in its current state, and we fully recognise that. Since it's introduction we've changed many policies and spent countless hours developing new custom systems, such as disputing feedback.

At the moment we aren't planning to do any more development for our site until we can migrate to XF2. We're also not going to be making any changes to our policies surrounding reputation. Our system is stable at the moment, and making a change now when we're going to be redeveloping everything shortly isn't beneficial. Perhaps once we move to XF2 and have fixed all the bugs that come with that and have more time for some new development and to consider the impact that instituting new policies will result in.

Until then, I'll move this to denied. Once we migrate to XF2 if you feel that this is still relevant please create a new suggestion thread and we can look into it once again. Thank you to everyone for your support and criticism of our systems, it is definitely the best way for us to improve.

Thank you,
