What ITL stands for ?

Post by Elayne »

I've looked everywhere, FAQs, forum rules, etc.

For a while I thought that ITL stood for this kind of threat of people who say "give me a good feedback or..." but then it seemed more general.

Then in the description of the "Good Feedback report" I've seen:
" The trade reference system (ITL)"

So ITL is the trade reference system, right ?
But what the 3 letters stand for ?

Thanks and be gentle, since I'm a newbie ^^

Btw, maybe but this acronym in the FAQ should be, you know, a wise move. :-D

I think, originally, it stood for Internet Trade Level or some such.

It is OLD, and the documentation needs to be updated.

Currently it is shorthand for the Reference system.. Good/Bad/Neutral etc..
2+2=5 for sufficiently large values of 2.

If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.

I use the Unofficial Porkuslime Trading Guidelines - if you have way less refs.. you ship first.

Folks I am awaiting a ref from.. Zack

I'm pretty sure it stands for Internet Trade List. If I recall correctly it wasn't originally a part of Bartertown but was hooked on as the official trade ref resource at a later time. Adam, Lin and Morlock would know for sure.

Ahahahah!
Nice!
So the term is so old that basically there's no full or sure knowledge of what it stands for. ;-)

Alright, let's pick Internet Trade List, then.

Thanks for the answers!
