The Great Kazoo's Feedback
"when you're happy you enjoy the melody but, when you're broken you understand the lyrics".
It's been an epidemic lately. Between people cashing checks they don't have, wanting what they cant afford, maxing out credit cards in fear or simply speaking before thinking/talking to the wife.
I would love to see some software that allows us to see a users feedback next to their screen name. Along with any negative feedback needs to be evidence, personal info removed, posted for all to see and a panel of mods can make the decision whether the feedback is deserved. Childish retaliation feedback almost always happens
I would be happy if they would leave feedback at all + or - I've done several deals here and have always left + feedback, and have never had a bad transaction, but I only get the favor returned maybe 1 out of every 3-4 deals.

Re: Why are there no -1's
It's called a feedback forum for a reason. If you don't leave appropriate feedback, positive and negative, it does not work as intended.
When you take the "high road" it may cause others to have a not-so-pleasant transaction because you did not leave accurate feedback for them to read before choosing to buy from or sell to an individual.
Maybe those that aren't willing to leave negative feedback when appropriate need not leave feedback at all- positive or negative. I personally don't consider negative feedback shit talking.
On a few occasions I've personally told others "I'll take it" only to realize moments later I don't have enough $ or I thought the price was low and then realized it wasn't so low after doing some surfing. But... each time I've figured out a way to come up with the money without hesitation or lame excuse and that is how I try to keep all of my feedback positive. I now realize that others can do whatever they want in regard to transactions and still have 100% positive feedback. GGGGrrr8
Lessons cost money. Good ones cost lots. -Tony Beets
I should have left a -1 on a member a few days after he backed out of our deal. This lil girl text me a few hours before we are gonna meet and says something about his wife and a car accident and he can't buy my firearm
...... A few days later I see he write I'll take it on a different firearm. This lil girl should have had the testicular fortitude to tell me he fucked up but instead made some bitch ass story up.
Theres still time. Sack up and get er dun.
Agree with your Thread Starter Jim!!! I used to just see if people had feedback and just assumed it was positive. Well I dealt with a person that said they wanted my firearm, said we'd meet up but on the day (which was a couple days later) we were supposed to meet up, I write them to confirm and they write back; "Sorry, money was burning a hole in my pocket, went out and bought something else this morning"... What an ASS! Not eve the courtesy to tell me they were contemplating something else? Not even the courtesy to email/contact me first and only relay the information when I was confirming our meet?
Well, I checked to see if they had any feedback. They did. And when I started actually reading through it, I saw this person had done this type of thing twice before. Agree to meet then back out at more or less the last minute or not show with some lame excuse....
So, I think it would be cool if there was a fast way to summarize someones feedback at a glance... Taught me to read through the feedback and not assume all were good AND to caveat my ads that if you have too many negative comments, or don't rebut the ones you have I'm not dealing with you...
And couldn't agree more with you Kidicarus13. Feedback isn't meant to be just positive, it needs to be all for it to be affective, to help other board members if they want to deal with a person. We need to share lessons learned so someone else doesn't have to learn through a bad experience..

In the immortal words of Taggart from Blazing Saddles, "Ditto."
It's interesting to see someone that does a ton of deals on the forum completely blow you off when you offered to help them with a part they need, without so much a word let alone payment. Does it deserve a -1? Probably. Is it worth the hassle when the mods will just make everyone "play nice"? Definitely not.
Keep Calm and Carry.
