Feedback Rules

1) Feedback may be left starting with transactions originating on January 1, 2012, and all transactions thereafter. Please do not leave feedback for any transactions that occurred before January 1, 2012. Although many have been actively buying and selling here for several years, it is necessary to draw a line in the sand to keep the system consistent and organized.

2) Feedback should be left for transactions originating in the Realcent Market Area, the monthly Kitchen Sink Auctions, and deals made through private messages here at Realcent. Feedback should not be left at Realcent for transactions occurring through other websites, other auction sites, other discussion boards, etc.

3) Leave one feedback per transaction, not necessarily one feedback per item. For example, if you win five auctions from one seller, and conduct one combined transaction for all five items, leave only one feedback for that transaction.

4) When leaving feedback, you select the role (Buyer, Seller, Trade) of the member you are leaving feedback for, not the role you played in the transaction. This way each member's profile will show comments corresponding to the role said member played in the transaction, the same way eBay lists "buyer" or "seller" next to each comment.

5) Once posted, feedback cannot be edited or deleted. If you made a mistake, please contact an administrator for assistance.

6) Retaliatory feedback and feedback extortion will not be tolerated. Leave honest feedback for all transactions. Feedback padding will not be tolerated. Do not leave feedback unless you actually participated in a transaction. Contact an administrator with any problems or questions.

7) As always, all transactions conducted through or initiated at Realcent are private matters between the members involved. Realcent.org and its management, including administrators and moderators, are not responsible for any transactions that occur here, and are not liable for any losses, direct or indirect, financial or otherwise, that may result from using the message board, private message system, email, or any other communication method facilitated by the site. All transactions are conducted at your own risk. By joining the forum, you acknowledge and agree to these terms.

This system replaces the existing feedback thread area. Those threads will be left in place for now, but that forum will be locked to encourage members to use the new system.

If you have any questions, or run into any problems, please post them here.

Very nice! In my brief time at BS that is the one thing they have that I liked that RC didn't have. I had thought of mentioning that to you, but looks like it was obvious enough that I didn't need to. The only shortcoming with their feedback system (now ours) (and which I don't know if you can change) is that it is easy to see what feedback someone has, but NOT easy to see what feedback you've provided to others. If there was any way to add that to the feature, would be a nice bonus to both sites.

that part is kind of an improper label. the way I interpret it.
if anyone is the worst user it is the 1000+ members who haven't
given it a go, and left a feedback. just wondering, because I didn't understand.
was hoping someone would set me straight., and was wondering if it could be changed to
just "users". Also, I want to say I love the new feedback system, IT ROCKS!

Many transactions that I know were purchases have feedback as seller, and likewise some that I know were sellers have left feedback as buyer. I think this has to do with the setup of the input box, which is titled "leave feedback for xxx", and then under that as the first row are the choices buyer, seller, trade, so it leaves people a little confused as to if xxx is the buyer, or if the feedback leaver is the buyer, etc.
