Feedback Forum Farce

Baby Onslo Sir Winston Churchill is not amused.

 

Feedback on this site is so unreliable and so easy to abuse and also to manipulate. The system in place allows people to do way too much damage because of a transaction that has gone bad then should be allowed. There are prople with over 1000 feeback and all positive. Not just one but many of them. What business in the world do you know that can claim that in over 1000 customers served, not one has been displeased. The poor soul that starts a new account and is all excited and hones can be saddled with bad feedback in the first 20 transactions when he is trying his (or her) best to start a good little side business.

Next you see people offering chicken soup recipies for 1 cent and free shipping and feedback padders will buy into about 50 or so to hide bad feedback in the buried pages.

Next are the people who never ever leave feedback until they get a positive one...... those I suspect are ones that have had a few people that may have been displeased with the transaction but are afraid of retalitory feedback. I think that is the bulk of what makes the feedback forum a farce. I set out to be as honest as I could so I can sleep at night with a good concience and I will say exactly what is on my mind so I got hit hard with some bad feedback and since I had every intention of providing great service I was stunned to get a restricted account norice for 5% un satisfied customers.

I have had some battles on here and yes, I was sucked in to the penny feedback scene. There must be a better way.
