Retaliatory bad feedback??

Post by Grizzly »

Maybe one of the admins can enlighten me on the retaliation bad feedback policy if their is one; I for one thinks its wrong and just plain immature.
Anyone else think this way?

There is such a policy. The rule states...
Rule #10: ITL intimidation
This has become a problem in recent months - people consistently accused of bad trading retaliating with, or threatening to retaliate with, (multiple) Bad Trader Reports. Effective when we the admins and moderators got tired of this happening, ITL intimidation is hereby a bannable offense.

What qualifies as ITL intimidation?
In its most direct form, ITL intimidation is when someone says something like "If you give me a bad trader report, I'm gonna give you one."
Anything that is not so direct, like "If you don't give me a good trade report, you'll regret it" also qualifies.
If you are not sure, please contact either myself or one of the moderators. The equivalent level of evidence required for filing a bad trade report is necessary: emails with headers, PMs, and so forth.

Linrandir did a good job of summing it up but please remember that the big difference between eBay, PayPal and us is that we care. We care that everyone gets treated fairly and that feedback and trading is done in a fair and accurate matter. Try getting your feedback adjusted through eBay or Paypal, EVEN IF BOTH SIDES AGREE, hard to/never going to happen.

We have no problem adjusting someone's feedback if it is proven to be unwarranted. If you are having a problem with your rating, please first consult Linrandir's Rules up above and if you need something done, send me a PM (personal message) is the best fashion.

I am behind right now with consolidating emails and such and #2 on the technical list of things to be done is making the Reference System no longer email dependant. It will be dependant on your username so you can change emails willy-nilly, that will not matter.

(#1 is moving the site to a dedicated server which will be done this weekend, weather-permitting).
