grapeape Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Is it possible to have a forum for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nandopsis Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 That is something we can look into. If anyone has any "Pros" or "Cons" they would like to share on this idea...please feel free to post it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Rating is only meaningful if you are a mass seller (like some seller on Ebay). Otherwise, it would take years to recover from a bad review if you only sell a few items a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Chicklets Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 My thoughts on it are to do it the same way as we do for sponsors. Positive reviews only. This way some one is not getting slammed and or shunned because some one is not happy with their purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snaggle Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 What about a 1-10 scale 1 being bad and 10 being good that way there would be no comments just a number that is blind. Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGr8Blade Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 After working 20+ years in retail, appreciation is always nice to hear. "GREAT customer service" "Friendly staff" "Courteous" etc... I appreciated hearing it once in a while and I know some of our retailers would too. Just makes you feel better that your efforts didn't go unseen. I would like to see a "PAT ON THE BACK" section come to pass as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanker Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I'm thinking... let me look into a couple options and see what's available. I have wanted to overhaul the buy and sell forums for a while now... just waiting for the time and the excuse to bury into it. Maybe you're on to something, here.

Qattarra Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 It would be nice to see "good stuff only". maybe rate it from OK -satisfactory-awesome-freakin' wow! Any unhappy stuff might be left between the buyer and the seller with anything totally unreasonable (non payment or not as advertised) to be dealt with by a third party. I personally don't want to see anyone torn to shreds on here over a purchase gone wrong. Those who get great ratings will build their reps that way. Any that don't get rated at all might lead you to question your own choice as to do or not do business with them. I also think the rating system should be voluntary.

Nandopsis Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 To be honest. What's the point on just doing a "good stuff only" ratings? It seems like a waste of time just to toot someones horn and not to actualy bring attention to the people who might be out to soak you out of money/merchandise.

Qattarra Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 As soon as you start the soakings, you'll get WW3. By chosing not to rate the person you still are letting others know you weren't happy about it. I see it on ebay where if you put something bad about the person they say something bad about you even if it is not deserved. It becomes nasty. I confess, I go through just to find the red ones to read the nasties. Even if there are 900 good ones and only 5 bad ones, the bad ones seem to outweigh the good. On a global and annonimous site like that who really cares. But AA is small and tight, going into nasty hurts everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nandopsis Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 That's why a number system might be a better choice. If we choose to go that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qattarra Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 The words were just a fun suggestion lol. I'd love to get rated "freakin' wow!" lmbo Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrie Lee Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 One of the reasons I stuck around was the friendly atmosphere around here. I think a rating system could damage that. I know there are people who would get upset at getting an 8 out of 10. I know I would wonder what I could have done to make that person happier.

JORG Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 It's very easy to give negative feedback,when dealing with livestock loads of problems can occur and it's always easy to point a finger at the seller.I've bought fish from people on this site and lost them real quick (could have been my fault I'm not sure )but I bought them because I was getting them at a large discount and know that with freshly imported fish there is a certain amount of risk. I would hate to see these people stop bringing in fish because their reputation is being tarnished by some negative feedback.Thankfully I've not dealt with anybody that I would have given negative feedback too,but sombody else with different expectations and experience could have roasted them.

TheGr8Blade Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Just an idea... I don't know if this forum type supports it but there are some sites that give imaginary dollars/points for posts. You as a member can donate you dollars/points to other members for helping you out or finding stuff for you. Sorta like this site. (Not the best example as it is a Jennifer Lopez site but if you looks below the member name you will see what I mean) http://www.jlo.net/forums/showthread.php?p=244398 If you like what you get from a seller give him $$$, if not "de nada". Sellers with big bucks Sellers with no bucks :cry: No fights... no harsh words... no problems :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
