Should I post a "Bad Trader" thread?

Not insulting you, BK. Just seeing a lot of this type of stuff lately. If your major concern is your reputation, and the possibility this guy could give you a poor rating, then BA should include a dispute procedure. Otherwise they should get rid of this system. If nobody leaves feedback, then after two weeks the trade is closed. Hope you get what you're looking for, but it's not looking promising.

 

It was supposed to originally. The Bros. posted a thread asking if it should be two weeks or a month. But, I don't know for sure if they ever implemented that programming. Might want to send a note or post in the feedback forum.

 

I think the one hole in the feedback system is what Brother Kenneth is afraid of, retaliatory feedback. Not sure if the brothers would step in if someone left malicious, unsubstantiated feedback.

 

Yes, really. What you quoted was a message that brother_kenneth sent to the bad trader, and was clearly (as he said) an attempt to come across as reasonable in their exchange. It was very obviously not aimed at the people in this thread.

Anyway, I think the "Cancel" button was only for trade requests that had not yet been accepted – there isn't any way to manually cancel an accepted trade. Have to wait until Todd implements the "timeout" period for auto-deleting old open trades to get rid of those.

 

lol.

 

In case anyone was still waffling on whether to add another entry to your "Do Not Trade With" list, waffle no more.

 

For my sanity, I keep a log of all recent bad trader posts in my profile. It's a way to tell them I won't trade with them...assuming they will look at my profile before contacting me for a trade.

 

Shocking to read you are being accused of poor communication!

 

Thank God we're not labeling this guy a "bad trader." It would be a grave injustice if some impressionable BA passed up the chance to be jerked around by Cap'n Lolz here based on a mistaken assumption that beer had actually changed hands. Is there a separate "Epic Timewaster" list for people who aren't "bad traders" only because they were too douchey to consummate the trade?

 

What a D-Bag!

 

His reaction pretty much sums up what most of us already knew which is stated directly above.

 

wow, comes into this thread and laughs...This asshat is what is wrong in the "advocate" community today..

 

Who gives a shit what the Asshat does? Seriously, just post a link to this thread in your profile and that will explain everything if anyone questions why you have one bad rating. I wouldn't even sweat it.

 

hey @brother_kenneth, what beers did you need for your tasting? out of curiosity?
