I'm really starting to get annoyed with the way people have been conducting themselves in the Classifieds section of the forum, both guest and so called "green" members, and I'm wondering what the other member's thoughts are on giving negative iTrader feedback.
In the past I've limited negative feedback to what I'd consider egregious breaches of ethics - no showing/no call on an arranged meeting, reneging or breaking terms of a deal, or seriously shady behavior. But now I've got people PMing me with an offer, I'll accept the offer, mark the item as SPF, and I'll never here back from the person. Or I'll get an offer or question or request for pictures or more details, I'll respond (favorably) and I'll never hear back. And I get DOZENS of these every time I post an item. This stuff takes a lot of time and energy, and it's getting to the point where (for me) it's almost not worth using the Classified section anymore.
It makes me wonder if I should start sending negative feedback for all these time wasters and tire kickers. I mean, if I did, and everyone else did as well, I'm sure a pattern would start to emerge for certain users. If I got a PM from a guy asking questions and requesting more pictures, and I could check his iTrader feedback and see he's got 10 instances of negative feedback for wasting other guys' time, maybe it would save me from wasting my time too.
Thoughts?
On a different note, I've also noticed that this site's administrators don't seem to have a problem erasing negative feedback for people that I've given it to, even when it was well deserved.
