|
|
There has been a lot of talk about some bad companies to deal with for Preorders and others not sending out remints. With a lot of talk about some place where a list of good and bad could be keep and names named . So people could get a idea of who they are dealing with.
I dont think it should be a sales thread just a buyer beware . Or a good seller sort of like a ebay feedback thread . No Sock puppet accounts would be allowed to leave comments . If you cant take the heat dont stay in the kitchen. It could be one thread or one for each company . It would bring in traffic to this forum and help keep it going as a place of open an honest opinions . What does every one think?? |

Below is what I said on the topic at that other place.

This is a good suggestion, because if no one lets Groundspeak know what is happening, how is Groundspeak supposed to know?
We are in discussion now about a feedback thread, for both traders and companies. Please stay tuned. It will probably be a pinned thread. We do listen. Since a lot of you trade, are you prepared to be rated in public? Those of you who produce coins, are you ready for the feedback? Are you all willing to do something about any negative feedback? And we don't want a feedback thread to turn into a flamefest.
Groundspeak doesn't get involved in any transactions between buyers and sellers, so I don't know about the email part of your suggestion, I'll bring it up, but they can do something about the approved list. Perhaps Groundspeak could stop selling tracking numbers to people who are defaulting on producing what they promised, and remove them from the list. We just need to know who the culprits are.
What we don't want is false reports, "shill" reports, that type of thing. It has to be backed up with facts. Not just complaints that the coins are a week late, or that type of thing. One report is not going to de-list a company. There has to be some kind of pattern of repeat offenses.

I would suggest making such a thread to really be a sub-board in the Geocoin Discussions Board and then each vendor or trader would have their own thread started. Personally I like this idea, even though I had a delay in minting and shipping my coins. In the end I think that everyone will be happy with their coins. I have never had a bad experiance thus far, but I have purchased very few coins. While on the other hand I have 6 coin designs I think people will like floating around in my head.
