Bullshit User Rating Deductions [Archive] - Beyond.ca - Car Forums

Which mouth-breathing mod decided to subtract 2% from my user rating for me correcting some idiot in this guy's thread? The OP even thanked me for clearing the air with regards to the mis-information and I even told him to have a mod cleanup his thread. I have a clean marketplace record, and abide by all rules of this site - even aiding those who don't (the many times I've reminded members to include FS:, etc). I don't know who you are, but you my good man are an idiot.

You couldn't of just pm'd a mod? They would of brought it up and discussed it.

I won't buy stuff from you now, just based on your crying, not your user rating.

There are 10+ mods. I am not going to PM one and make it there job to find out who dealt with it, etc. "Hey Beserker, find out who blah blah blah"" By making a thread in a far-from-busy section of the site, it's far more convenient as only those that have anything to do with the matter may chime in - why you replied I have no idea. To add, if someone fretting about their user status and how they may appear to other buyers deters you from buying from them, you are a complete moron. No loss to me, you're probably the type to offer half the asking price anyways.

I posted in a thread stating another option for the OP to take his wheel in for repairs. Low and behold, my post gets nuked and i lose a user rating..

WTF? Is Toms-SC back again... :banghead:

Last time i checked, we didn't have a sponsor that repaired damaged wheels.... Yet a local sponsor is allowed to post the direct number to the very same option i suggested.

Click Report this post, type in your story, and bam, the mods will get it and read it. And you don't think they discuss things on the forum? Msg a mod, maybe if he actually gives a fuck, he will bring it up, and bam done. 2 easy options.

Well, I care. Ever since this "90%+ user rating to post in the marketplace" rule came into place, deducting %'s has become a fun game for some of the mods. I have always abided by the rules, and always try to help people on this forum (you can tell from my trader comments) - so when I get a user rating deduction for what appears to be myself aiding another member in his sale, I take it offensively.

I know your intentions are good but Beyond has adopted this buyer/seller beware thing where they place the onus on the buyer/seller to do their homework or else they deserved to get owned. That is all.

Thanks for the heads up. I've removed the number.

I'm not going to rewrite what I've said many times, so I'll just quote myself:

That's not the point. We can't give away free advertising to everyone just because it doesn't compete with anyone else. We'd only have a few performance shops as sponsors then. We're very generous when it comes to giving back to the community, so therefore I'm going to be VERY strict when it comes to sponsor revenue. Somebody's gotta pay for our lawyers you know! :D
Pollywog, I've given you 3% back for your troubles.

haha, I was bit perplexed why I had lost 1% for asking a seller to clarify what his sale package contained. Been here since 2004 without resorting to name-calling or e-thugging, and losing a point seems kinda silly...but a rule is a rule. Not that it really matters any, but does anyone regain the lost points?

Since everyone else is asking for their ratings back, I wouldn't mind getting my 2% back as well. I'm pretty sure the post that got deleted and I made was a question about the seller having a receipt, and it got double posted just because of the poor internet connection, and BAM, 2% off my user rating. I've been a good user as well, I've been a member since 2005. I will try and see if I can find my post that got nuked by a mod.

I don't mean to hi-jack this thread but I figured I'd get in the "please give me my ratings back" wagon while the Mods are giving them back.

But since everyone is asking....can I have a few percent too?! I usually only post in other peoples thread to tell buyers to beware if the item is fake, etc. Tia!

Everyone's rating begins at 100%. This rating can only go down, nothing you do will ever make it go back up. Any rule violation will result in that number going down, some violations will result in larger penalties than others. Once it reaches a certain point, the user will be banned.

We are slowly trying to remove those that serve no purpose for the site.
