    Does DP has any rules so that in such cases negative iTrader could be deleted for the person who hasn't done anything worng? Like here kentuckyslone isn't responsible for anything so he shouldn't be given -ve iTrader.

    Just a query..

    No. If you participate in a deal (that's in BST, and not in the freebies section), both parties can leave iTrader for any reason they want. Anything else is just he said / she said in a private business dealing, which we do not get involved with.

    It would be a very tough job and would require many people working full time to moderate iTraders.

    Im not just saying this because I have a high iTrade number, but I have never let the fear of receiving a spite negative keep me from giving an iTrader I felt was deserved.

    I just quietly applauded. The mod in me loves hearing things like that. Now, you just need to go spread the word about a negative iTrader here and there not being the end of the world. :D

    It is better that I-traders are not monitored, for the only reason-as jh mentioned- that once you are in a deal, it is the right of both the parties to give their feedbacks, and feedback cannot be monitored, or modified for that matter.

    There are some folks who simply don't use the system correctly, though. I'm glad Slone is somebody who can.

    My experience exactly :) Couldn't use any of the material. Sounded like it was written by a 10 year old.

    Equating the quality of something by the price doesnt always work. I have gotten some excelent articles for the same price or similar from people who were just starting out.

    I general I do agree and I understand, but this same type of thinking is what leads people to pay more for certain brands of things in the stores because they think that the more something costs the better it will be. In fact they teach that in marketing classes.

    I once owned a comic book store. This particular issue of Green Lantern was actually valued at $10 but I was selling them for $2 because I had gotten a good deal on a large quantity of them. No one was buying it. I remembered what I had learned in some marketing classes so I raised the price on the book to $7 and guess what? They started selling like crazy!

    Oh, for me it was torture! After reading the first paragraph, I wanted to highlight all grammatical errors with a red marker. :mad:

    appartly the writer is very good at writing about nothing at all, dragging on and on about something he/she doesn't know anything about. I will admit it is very well written if the main purpose is to provide absolutely no knowledge or interest in collecting ancient coins.

    really redundant and boring with words that fly into your brain and are expelled faster than the brain can process them for worthwhile information

    You have just given a very complete review of the article. That was EXACTLY what I thought about it! I wasnt even going to attempt to try to re-write it to make it usable.
