@Natalie: I think this is a great idea. I really like the fact that you require it to be posted in the locker room. I really hate all those ranking lists in co-ed because people can't be honest for fear of hurting someone's feelings.
I won't be playing because I don't feel I have time for discounted appointments during the holidays. Too much shopping and entertaining and holiday parties in addition to putting in my procrastination time on my school applications... But I like the concept.
Hmmm I want to throw a huge wrinkle in. I don't hobby often enough for this to apply to me, but what if
1. The verified providers post in their private room, their ATF's of all time with reasons why.
2. They post in the co-ed section.and must add "I'm playing the ATF Trading Game" to their signature line.
3. The verified provider scans the other verified provider's ATF list and checks to see if the ATF is playing the game.
4. If the ATF is playing the game, the provider can PM and say, I say your name on so and so's list. The guy will know if he has ever seen so&so and can set an appointment after screening.
I like this because sometimes it nice to be wanted and have the woman do some work. Maybe I way out there and I will get flamed, but I know the greatest compliment I have ever had is being asked out. It also sets up some fun dynamics for BCD.
Just a thought. What do y'all think?

We are used to being ranked and critiqued and that's part of what we sign up for, but I don't think most of the guys get into this game to feel rejection. When a guy is spending his time and money on a provider, he wants to be treated like an ATF -- and this could potentially damage the fantasy. I would never put my ATF's on a list because I wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
