    Traded with a guy in 2014, I sent, he sent, I left feedback, he didn't reciprocate.... Now he's banned, and I'm stuck with that little 1 in my open trades. Prob. silly, but I'm sick of looking at it. Any way to delete it?

    FTFY.

    Only Todd has that power currently. There are more of these situations out there than you think (I have one as well), so we're looking at some more comprehensive options.

    Thanks, I thought so but figured I might as well wrangle you all in :wink:

    Odd situation for the OP, too. Seems like it would be an appropriate time to remove the feedback if the user is permanently banned and therefore could never reciprocate the feedback. My $0.02.

    I've got 4 open trades that I've had since the trading system started. I left feedback for all of them and even sent them a BM after awhile asking if they would please do the same. I also wish they could be somehow deleted.

    @Gmr75: Which user?

    And the reason why we don't have a solution yet is because there's yet to be any consensus on how to handle them; for any open trade that needs removal.

    @Todd Mine is with @RayUF07. An easy IP trade he didn't leave feedback for before he went out in a blaze of drunkin glory. FWIW, it doesn't bother me that it's there.

    @Todd - its @drosario78

    IIRC, traded with me for his first trade, sent first, did everything he was supposed to do. Got the positive feedback, and then screwed over a couple other folks.

    That dude was a real piece of work. Was in a BA fantasy football league with me.

    @Todd what if there were some sort of time limit.. where if a person does not reciprocate feedback the other parties' feedback is deleted?

    I've got a trade where everything went well, I left positive feedback, but the guy never reciprocated. I sent a polite BM that was ignored. This trader has 4 completed trades and it appears to be the same story with all of them, he was given positive feedback but then never reciprocated. Does annoy me a bit to always see that 1 open trade.

    Maybe if feedback isn't left in x amount of time, the slate could be wiped clean on both sides? I suppose the problem then is someone will just not leave feedback after receiving negative feedback. What if the slate wiping was somehow voided by negative feedback on either side? I dunno...

    You have a good base idea.
    Wouldn't mind seeing the system automatically do something if they received feedback but haven't given any after a few weeks. It's annoying and not good etiquette. Perhaps being blocked from ISO:FT or having a giant BA pop-up On-site banner they can't close.
