For doing over-the-counter trades, you probably want to get yourself set up with GPG and start using that.  When trading on the forums, you might think you are trading with the trusted forum member but in reality it could be a compromised forum account and you are about to send your bitcoins into some scammer's pocket.  With the -otc Web of Trust (WoT), if the person has authenticated, you then are nearly guaranteed that the party you are trading with is truly the same party whose trust history is well documented.

Then yes, you can put a link to your on -OTC trust history profile in your sig if you want.

For example, here's the trust history of rmunroe, the author of XKCD (webcomics):

But IRC is oftentimes better than PMs on the forum for trading as you can chat on IRC with your trading partner in real-time.

Simply enter /query nickname to open a chat session for just the two of you.
