I like to stick with facts. Emotions can get a bit tricky…
This was an impulse buy. Because no additional photos were requested to verify anything.
Buyer already prepaid in full. No refund was going to happen.
The feedback system is worthless. No wonder I see so many 100% sellers.
Is sucks you got taken but if that’s all you got screwed on I’d count your blessings. It could have turned out much worse.
Quoted from rx3:It's the latest trend on the internet. No downvotes nor negative comments allowed. It hurts too many feelings. That was youtubes reason. It discouraged people from posting videos because they were afraid of downvotes lol. I won't be surprised if downvotes are removed from Pinside in the near future. If I was allowed to use profanity here, I would tell you exactly what our society is becoming, but I might hurt some feelings.
Another forum I a longtime member of had downvotes. People would get so butthurt over it. Some real wars occurred when it was weaponized. They finally did away with it…
Good times.
Quoted from robin:Hi all! Thanks for posting your concerns.
If you haven't read my reasoning behind the removal of the negative recommendations feature yet, please do so: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/negative-recommendations-feature-removed
In short: giving Pinsiders the ability to leave other Pinsiders unsolicited negative feedback, without having any evidence of an actual sale taking place is the base of this issue and the reason for removing the 'feature'.
The current system is simply dependent on the seller inviting the buyer (which is not likely to happen if the seller knows beforehand that the feedback will be poor). Could there be another way to link buyer and seller? To make sure that feedback is legit, or at least based on an actual sale taking place? Right now, I don't see it but open for suggestions!
That is a broke ass mechanic for a sale forum. Totally undermines the entire premise for leaving feedback. There is no way to look at this as being positive from a buyers standpoint. It is currently 100% biased toward the seller.
In one year I have bought 5 machines thru Pinside. All great experiences but if I had a bad one and then found out I could not rate it I would be beyond pissed. Glad I know this now.
Again to have a well laid out and active sale forum have its integrity undermined just so non participants can jack up someone’s user rating is absurd. Make a linked thread for that.
Other than that Pinside is great. Keep up the good work!
