Trade denying users

[webdanger]

Dudes, if you don't want to trade just delete your account or let a note on your profile that you only do 2 trades a month, YOU ARE WASTING MY TIME with all the dumb rejections.

You are here to make trades, make them, if not move on and spare us.. JESUS CHRIST i am mad, having hundreds of requests sent and a lot of proposed trades denied...and i am asking PRO or PR1 sites....=

We must do something to improve this website and get rid of some of the idiots around here

As time goes on we can see about having peoples trade percentages shown...

Then you can see people that deny vs accept and decide whether or not to even ask.

I deny many trades... Usually it is link spammers or stuff that just doesn't work well with my own stuff.

My current ratio is:

Denied 1,483
Active 1,455
Stopped 343

I would imagine I am the normal user. I accept almost all if they make some kind of sense. I only stop them when I sell a domain or they have a problem like their domain expired, server took a shit for an extended period of time, or if they let their site go and it went to PR1 or PR0 from PR3 or PR2, plus they stopped updating it, etc...

Using the quickurls function you can quickly ask for links. When I build a site I add it to quickurls and then delete the top one... Then go out and ask for perhaps 8 to 12 links into my new site... Then when I come back I ask for 2 to 3 for each of the quickurls and keep getting links denied all of the time... I think the key to staying sane is to ask for an extra 30 to 50% more than you actually want. Then don't get upset when 30 to 50% deny them... Just ask for more.

Thanks V, i never used quick links before, they speed up the submissions.

The problem was with the other party, i have decent sites, no spam no nothing, hand written content, no fake pr, different ips, everything you would ever want from a trade partner, yet i get denied even for bulk trades, no more than 5 but all of the rejected... and i ask for pr0 or pr1 sites, at least 1 out of 5 should be good...

I noticed this behaviour the past year, more people starting to deny trades or even block people with decent sites just because..

Where can i see my activity ratio?

We don't have a screen for that yet. I had to pull the numbers from the DB.

Good idea for a new thing though!

One of the main reason I deny trades is not the fact that I don't like the site I'm linking to, it's mostly that the other user has nothing to link back from that interests me.

I don't have any cam sites and in my profile I specificly ask for relevant niche trades. So when someone asks a link from one of my niche site to a cam site and all the user has to offer in return is more cam sites I tend to stay away.

I'm not a big fan of "A link is a link no matter what it is" theory and it's by doing niche relevant trades that I've gotten where I am today.

Some might think otherwise, but that's not how I roll

same here, i deny a lot of trades cause its simply nothing niche relevant in their portfolia
another thing is get a lot of PR0 to PR0 request, imho that just wasting my time, i wrote that in my profile thou, but i dont see a point in wasting my time with this, other people might think different thats okay for me thou

I get trade requests all the time from people who don't read the reqs I have. Which are simple, Blogs only, no subdomains and relevant to the blog I have they want to link with. I would say 95% of the requests come from people who do not bother to read 2 lines of text.
