Yes, you can change the 5 to a 10 if you want.. ;)

Hi Roger,

I am not a great fan of the rating system - it is open to abuse.

Ii work on the principal that a bad rating can make someone look very bad in the eyes of the community - especially new comers.  So if I dont feel like giving someone at least a 10,  I'm better off not posting any rating.   They are not a measure of anyone's business capacity or integrity.

These are seen as an indicator of many things  including your business capability or integrity.- but can be posted just because someone is in a bad mood with you or someone who doesnt know you but doesnt like the colour of your hair!  - even though they dont do business with you.

So - my conclusion - if you cant say anything nice - dont say anything at all.  And if you have said something not so nice - go back and up it to a 10 - unless you have had a bad BUSINESS  experience with that person.  Then and only then could it be legitimate.

Love
Jenny

Hi Roger,

Thanks for the post.

 

Jenny,

I agree 100% with you.

I just had someone who has been spamming my Personal Messages for 7 months now, give me a 4 and the reason was "Not To Socially"! This person does not know me! I think I handled it well in my response! lol

Hi Jenny,

I'm not necessarily a fan, but I now know I can edit it. ;)

I could post a personal comment, but it would be to easy
to recognize the person even if i anonymized it, so I won't.

Hi Jerilyn,

I read the feedback and your answer. Good one.
Did you consider returning the favor? ;)
