Trader Feedback feature?

I can't seem to leave trader feedback. I'd like to give accolades to people I've had positive interactions with. How do I do so?

You need to become a paid contributing member to leave feedback.

While the Trader Rating function is only for paid members, any member is free to post feedback about their experiences on the Board of Inquiry.

Here's a link to the BOI posting rules. You'll want to familiarize yourself with them before posting there: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...ead.php?t=8880

Here's a link to the BOI itself: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...splay.php?f=13

Thank you guys!

So essentially what this means is...if you have a horrible experience with some huge "respected" breeder...and you mention it on the BOI...they or someone they know will sabotage your reputation rating. So pay close attention to that stuff.

My reputation rating is listed at -10 to -49 ( or something like that), and all I did was mention the fact that I bought $850 worth of genetically weak geckos. But because I bought them from "Big Gecko"...little ole' me had better just keep my mouth shut, or start kissing lots of a**.

Your trader rating is showing as positive (1).

Reputation is Karma, that is where people can leave you positive or negative karma based on their opinion of posts you have made. You say it's negative but I show you have a green box meaning you currently have more positive karma than negative.

The two have nothing to do with each other.

Thanks for the heads up, April. It may have just changed due to Eve's Trader post. This morning it was red and said -10 to -49.

No. Eve left you was a positive trader rating in 2014. Has nothing to do with rep level.
This is the link to show your trader rating http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...gs.php?u=80782

The reputation level is KARMA, not trader rating. You have received both negative and positive karma, the last positive that was left brought your rep level into the green. You can view your karma on your User CP page. Think of karma like the 'thumbs up/thumbs down' or "like" from FB.

I hope that helps explain a little better?

Jarrod,

April is doing a fine job explaining and pointing out that you are simply wrong.

Your business reputation "Trader Rating has only 1 positive transaction made on it. 03-23-2014. Nothing has changed on it at at all since that date.

Your Karma level which is how people feel about your posts has only been given to you by 3 different people. It appears that 2 are negative and 1 is positive. The dates they were given on where April 7 and 8th in 2013 for the negatives and today for the positive.

The individual thanked you for "pointing this out".

I don't know if it was for the ad you put up or for the post in this thread.You can check that in your User CP. It will tell you for which post you received your positive karma point.

Speaking of,
Karma is just to state you either agree with or don't agree with someones post.

I'd let it go there with the explanation of the difference between Karma and trader ratings but you stated this

That is simply being untruthful.

The comments on your Karma log tell you exactly why you received the negative feedback remarks.

One person gave you a negative for posting anonymous third party accusations against another person then refusing to name your source. Not because you dared to speak out about a big breeder.

They plainly stated it to you and everyone can judge for themselves on that thread.

I believe every single person on that thread disagreed with the way you handled that situation.

You received your negative karma points for your attitude, failure to follow the forum rules and you basically told people you weren't going to answer any questions. Afterwards, you blamed the posters for your ordeal.

I just want to point that out in case that karma (positive) you received was for the post in this thread.

You were not targeted because you made a post about a "big breeder".

You made accusations you couldn't back-up, you broke the site rules, were rude and refused to discuss anything then blamed the site. I'm suprised only two people took issue with you with the Karma points. I didn't but I did make a post on your thread to express my opinion.

I also agree with April's post on that thread just a few after mine.

Accidentally submitted before I was done.

Good enough. Have a great day!
