I really could'nt see how verification feedback would work?
There would bound to be some bitter person annoyed that some couple had to cancel at the last minute because of some serious problem or something that can't be helped. Would they then be classed as timewaster's?
Even tho, they are genuine and it could'nt be helped is it fair that they would have a black mark aginst their name? No it would not.
Here's a better idea that do's work. get to know people first. thats all the verification you will need.
:thumbup:
Ok i think i've got ya,
Bare with me if i dont, i can be as thick as a brick at time's,
So, only positive feedback can be left on the genuine ad's? but no feedback can be left on the dodgy ad's?
So your reason's for having ad's with feedback is, so you know which one's to bother with? for example, you now only look at the ad's that have been left feedback and just skip past the one's that have no feedback?
Would that be fair for the genuine newbie's that place an ad? Would there ad's even get looked at because they dont have any feedback? I doubt it, everyone would only look at the ad's that had feedback, cos be honest noone want's or has the time to be messed around with time wasters.
Also, what's to stop people using alter-ego's to give themself's positive feedback when really they are some sick,physco, bunny boiler ? Looking for there next victim?
It's sad, when thing's like that are a possibity. but unfortunately thats the world we live in today.
I'm still convinced that it would'nt work or it could'nt really offer any improvements to the site.
Tra-n-Lee, I am playing devils avocate here (is that how you spell it?)
Anyway, earlier this year you both put your names down for a social I was organising (dogging BBQ), I sent you details along with a mobile contact number. You didnt turn up on the night and didnt give any reason either by phone or by pm. Does this mean you are not genuine and should have some bad feedback?
Of course it dosent! It means that for whatever reason you were not able to turn up!
Feedback, verification or whatever you want to call just will not work. People will look at things from different perspectives and for whatever reason, feedback will NOT be accurate. If it was a 'quick shag' site, the fair enough, but this is more of a community where a lot of people would rather get to know each other first so what would be the point of having something on the forums!
Good,
I am glad i am not the only one who think's this is'nt a good idea.
It just has too many hole's and would cause too many problem's imho.
Getting to know people in chat or on the forum's, give's you all the feedback you need.
