GameTZ.com Newsletter
#23
The big news this month is the new GameTZ review system. You can now create your own reviews and share them with other traders on the site.
This newsletter contains a description of all the changes and
enhancements that have been made to GameTZ in the last 2 months.
What's New at GameTZ?
- New Review System
- GameTZ User of the Month
- Hot Deals Forum
- Subscription Time Transfers
- Recently Resolved BTRs
New Review System
The GameTZ Review System is now in-place and already has 90 approved reviews!
You can check it out by clicking the "Reviews" link on the main navigation bar, or by using the "review" or "[review_it]" links next to item listings in search results and user pages. The system shows you a review link when a review already exists for that item, otherwise you'll see a [review_it] link which invites you to create a review of your own.
Anyone can create a review, though all reviews go through an approval process. This is just another fun way for all of us to interact and share our opinions with each other. As we do, we'll be building up a nice library of information about the stuff we're trading.
There is also a new Reviews forum available for everyone to discuss GameTZ reviews:

GameTZ User of the Month
The February GameTZ User of the Month was PiemJi. PiemJi has a long history of helping other traders on the site. He is most famous for creating a very special mIRC script that many of our regular chat users use which provides tons of features that make chatting at GameTZ fun and easy. Thanks and congratulations, PiemJi!
The March GameTZ User of the Month is scuba. scuba has made a lot of friends on GameTZ. We all like his positive, easy-going attitude and friendliness. Thanks scuba, for just being yourself and hanging out with us.
Hot Deals Forum
We've added another forum to the main forums. It's the Hot Deals forum. This forum contains discussions of good deals that are available at local and on-line stores. Basically, when people see there's some good deal (often video-game related) they create a topic in the Hot Deals forum to let everyone know about it.
waazzuup had been running it out of his personal forum, but it has become quite popular, so we've elevated it to the main forums list. He continues to moderate it. Thanks waazzuup!

Subscription Time Transfers
You can now view a list of past subscription transfers you have made. This can be helpful if you've forgotten whether you've sent someone subtime that you promised as part of a deal. The link is located on your Subscriber Options page, in the top section, look for the "view list of past transfers you've made" link. It shows you transfers you have made to other users but not transfers that others have made to you.
Recently Resolved BTRs
Traders who have had a Bad Trader Report in the last 9 months now have a line in their User page header which indicates they had recently resolved BTRs. The line looks like this:
Recently Resolved BTRs: view past BTRs
The idea is to provide a warning to other traders that there have been some recent problems, and to further motivate people to avoid getting BTRs.
This newsletter is optional for all GameTZ users. If you wish, you can disable it on the "My Account" page.
If you have any suggestions for the content of this newsletter or for GameTZ in general, feel free to reply to this email.
Thank you.
