Would that be solved with an extra staff member?

There has to be a reason for a bad Mark Paul, well that seems to be a minor inconvienaince compared to the real problem of people getting ripped off.

I guess we could have a resolution group, of senior (Long term) members which would resolve such issues, like a council which would look into any problems on behalf of members, But to be honest, if someonen does what your saying then it should be a bannable offence.

Can you see this being a Major problem with staff Rushed off their feet sorting abuse claims??

Thanks for your Answers Paul ;)

How can that be any worse than the system we have in place.
Of course you are going to get people saying he gave me a bad mark for nothing - well the other person just gives a bad mark in return.
Now if a person has loads of bad marks from different people then it certainly gives you an indication that things are not going to well for them and that they are failing on their part.
No need for mods to stress and have to intervene.
Add the system and let us do it ourselfs.

Such a system has a corrective nature. On sites that have a ratings system, many members are extremely cautious of their reputation and are also eager to reach the top of the reputation list. (because for coders that means more coding jobs)

Thats why i think that the more trustworthy people would want to protect their repuatation, similar to ebay feedback, Its all very nice saying well they'll do a good job for a few years, get mega feedback and then probably rip someone off, In reality it don't work like that.

I think that the relationship between client and coder with high feedback will be better than with someone with very few.

just don't let people rate me if I don't answer a support question in the mods area and it's fine :p

No,no,no,no,no.You could give bad feedback just because you don't like the person.

trust no one

The hack should nto be used for that purpose as that is general board use.
The itrader hack is for the paid request section so people can give good or bad rating depending on the outcome of the deal.
