I think I have already suggested this some time back and I am again suggesting the same. In the current mode, when a user is found cheating and given a negative feedback he/she reciprocates the same to the good guy, so b'coz of some cheat a good guy needs to face negative trader there has to be some sort of consumer protection, if this negative reciprocates regularly, members would turn hesitant to report a cheat, as they are worried about their traders I hope staff can re-visit the rules and make some revisions of the rules in the upcoming days
You are right actually. And due to this many members don't give negative feedback as they can also get same from them. And the culprit moves away freely.
I don't disagree, but this is a duplicate thread. Do a search, and see what comes up. Shawn says he is willing to implement any practical solution.
then probably how about asking for members to provide proof while giving the other user negative trader, if the guy has no proof obviously then even if he is a good guy he will face negative trader similar to the cheat when u give neg. rep. u get -1 rep to your self too, similarly when some one tries to give negative rep, he must be asked for picture proof, which could later be verified if some one claims it to be a false trader
Picture proof is impractical actually, and further, 100 mods should be appointed to validate the itraders after seeing the proof! Your need is practical!but the method you suggested is impractical! ~ExP~
Well there are a bunch of other great members on this forum who would love to be a mod (no, not me lol). Great members with tonnes of experience with using this forum.
Well your method would cause 99% of iTraders to be deleted since people would rarely bother to send proof for a positive one. Even then it's not practical since there us close to 600,000 iTraders. Do you want the job of reviewing the "proof" to make sure it's real?
I agree with you and extremephp that its hard to track down. You could always make a clause - only the ones who report false trader can be verified, just like we have report threads/posts created in a newer forum, this could be tracked down into such a forum and only those who claims to have recd. negative traders should be reviewed and not all the negative traders, this will sort out the issue as there might not be more than a bunch who would report and based on my personal experience I can guarantee cheats would try max to keep away from reporting as they would be in line of fire. The same can be verified with the proofs he/she has submitted, its the only solution which I have been able to crack down till now. lol! personally I don't think I am that good enough to handle which are true and which are false, my knowledge with programming and business is minimal, so no thanks I think the current mods are more than enough. As, may be u would recv. 50 reports a day it would be around the same way of the reported posts/threads, when a mod/admin takes an action he can reply on the thread and this would minimize the work for others.
honestly I agree invalid/fake traders are higher in number and its even difficult to track down as no one would report them. But there has to be a solution for the negative traders, as they are the ones which impact a lot. how about who ever cries for false negative trader be requested to provide solid proofs, if the proofs sent by the user isn't hard enough, then no action would be taken else removing negative trader and warning the giver would sound hard stand on the users and it might short out the frauds around.
