My questions is this. If I give a negative rating to another user for a reason I think is justified and in return that same user gives me a negative rating as a retaliation what do the forum moderators do in this case, or better how do we deal with such issues?
Nothing, it's exactly what the staff will do. As mentioned in the forum rules, feedbacks aren't moderated
surely a few reasons are because:
- they will need to spend the time to investigate issues which can be hard to do, time-consuming.
- if they start to do it from today, moderators will be overloaded with requests like they have never been before
I am sure many highly trusted members would not mind helping out in a situation like that with their insights and also suggesting what the proper action would be. If there is no doubt based on the proof provided by User A that user B tried to scam him all members would see that. Moderators wouldn't have to do much more related to feedback if they had the help from the community and the members they know can be trusted to make a fair decision.
I am sure many users are worried whether or not to give a bad rating because they will get surely get one in return and that wont do them any good.
Feedback, positive or negative, without any link for reference doesn't have much importance. Myself I consider such as useless (aside from a dozen of members) to get an opinion.
Like the majority of users here, I think.
You can post 100 negative feedback on a profile, I won't trust any without to be able to check a reference link and get my own opinion to decide if your feedback is valid to me
