    Trade/Plug Submission annoyance

    Heya all,

    Im back to moaning lol, well ive been submitting plugs like mad to different sites and find it quite annoying for the following reasons

    1, Form is broken and unable to submit plugs (i.e. form doesnt load)
    2, Captcha errors where there is no captcha box to input
    3, Captcha mismatches 0 (zero) o (letter O) 5 (five) s (letter S), then when you go to fix this, all your plugs are gone.

    Other annoyances, when submitting trades, they eventually get accepted, but they dont use the ats importer to import games? How do sites know that you support the importer if you dont have an option on the form?

    Some sites test the site for ats-plug-helper.php supported, others know the site is supported due to conversations by email etc.

    Most of this bugs are based around ATS, Ive contacted some sites and they do fix some bugs, but others dont.

    Anyone else find this annoying ?
    Thanks
    Paul

    Haven't noticed them yet but you could email the admin/owner that should update the plugs with auto plugger.

    Yes, but it helps if the admin of the site provides some type of contact data.
    Some dont reply to emails sent.

    Not all sites support the plug helper file, so you have to manually submit them.
    Also the plug helper only does so much, as you can find slight mismatches which you can add.

    It would be good if those sites that support the ats helper, had an option on the signup form to opt into it like I do.
    That way I know to import the games.
    Thanks

    If you are on a site and trying to submit plugs where any part of that site is only semi functional or none functional at best then I say move on. That potential partner is neglecting the site and likely will not trade any volume or even trade at all with you. I am seeing a growing number of guys upset with ATS sites. I like Brad he is a good guy and I was the first to support his plug helper but often either myself or some partner has a problem getting it to work. The idea came from us so I was fine with it but execution could be better in my opinion.

    Anyway you dont need lots of partners just guys that are willing to do a trade with you on some volume so you might be working to hard and it would be easier to focus on premium partners instead.

    Yes, but some sites are "active" traders who do maintain there sites, but still have form submission issues.
    1 example was inupgames, I contacted them and they fixed it, same script/bug old owner freegames0 no fix.
    Havent been back to there site yet and rely on them importing plugs.

    Im going to focus more on getting plugs into my own DB rather than into there traders site.
    What other quarms do people have with ATS?

    Yeah, I dont really like the way the importer is done, but support it so im compatable.

    Id prefer a JSON,XML,RSS version instead, something more standardised rather than a unique identifier

    Yes, but finding sites that are willing to trade and to be able to stay up with volume is an issue.
    Im looking for ways to "boost" trades and get more traders to work with.

    My fear is to signup with the bigger traders, end up owing them to much and being blacklisted.
    Thanks
