FEEDBACK RULES:

If you want to provide feedback on someone, search THIS FORUM SECTION ONLY for the name of the person you want to comment on.

This will let you find the existing thread for the person you wish to provide feedback for, and you can then add your entry to that thread at the end.

- BEFORE you post NEGATIVE feedback, you MUST try to resolve it first with the other person. Include the time involved in the issue in your comments section. If we see you are flipping out after only a few days of waiting in your transaction, we will DELETE your feedback entry, and you may be issued an account warning.

- Feedback must be CIVIL. This means no name-calling or insults. Just the facts as you know them to be.

- Only put +1 or -1 in the rating section of the form. No +20 or -infinity or other nonsense. Do not put a zero, either. If you are putting a zero, then you shouldn't be commenting at all.

- Only post feedback for someone IF you *personally* have gone through a transaction with them. Do not post feedback on transactions that a "friend" or whatever had.

Feedback Format:

Feedback For: [buyer's name, or seller's name]
You in the transaction(seller or buyer): [your name]
Feedback Rating: this is where you put +1 or -1. Nothing more. Hit or miss.
Pay with: [paypal, money order, etc.]
Comments: this is where you put comments on the transaction

for example...

Feedback for: Keith
You in the transaction: Buyer
Feedback Rating: +1
Pay with: Money order
Comments: Good communication, good product, fast ship. Would buy from him again.

_________________________________

THIS FORMAT IS 100% REQUIRED, and failure to use it may result in a warning issued to your account.

The Moderator Team will update the title of EACH thread with the total point rating of the person, so that you can see how they rank as buyers or sellers.

NO DISCUSSION IS ALLOWED OUTSIDE OF THE FORMAT REQUIREMENTS!

Let me say this again:

NO DISCUSSION IS ALLOWED OUTSIDE OF THE FORMAT REQUIREMENTS!

If you are caught posting outside of the required format, you will receive an automatic account warning, or even possibly a temporary post-ban, and your post will be automatically deleted.

LIKEWISE, if you are the person being evaluated, and you are NOT happy with the feedback you receive, you are to take it up with the poster of the feedback PRIVATELY. DO NOT PUBLICALLY RESPOND to feedback entries, or you will receive an automatic account warning, or even possibly a temporary post-ban, and your post will be automatically deleted.

THIS SECTION WILL BE STRICTLY MODERATED, however as long as someone follows the rules above, feedback can be posted by anyone, for anyone, regarding a transaction they shared.

ADDENDUM TO THE RULES

IF your number of NEGATIVE transactions exceeds three within one year, you will be UNABLE TO POST in the "Wanted To Sell" section. You will be sent a PM giving you the chance to work through the Moderator Team who will mediate between you and the buyers in complaint. UNTIL you resolve the issues, you will be UNABLE TO POST in "Wanted To Sell".

You will also be placed into a new group, "Questionable Seller/Buyer Beware".

Also, you can't start a feedback thread on yourself.

Sorry if I am just missing the obvious answer to this.

Is there a way to change the Topic title of a post that someone else started in the Buyer/Seller Feedback section?

For instance - I added my positive feedback to Arro's listing making it what should be "Arro +1" to "Arro +2". I didn't see a way to do this - am I missing it?

Arro Xano or Draconis update those topic titles, so that you don't have to worry about.

Updated the first post with new rules regarding accumulative negative feedback.
