Title: Why not post the experience of the buyer in his feedbacks
Post by: NanaNana45 on July 04, 2012, 07:11 am
Hey all,
I wanted to propose a new feature in the rating system that will help the buyers assessing the credibility of the feedbacks.
I think if the number of successful transcations* of the user is to be posted in his feedback in the rating system then we can get 2 advantages.
1.Consecutive fictive feedbacks that may be posted buy the seller through fictive users to improve his rating can be identified.
2. Better assessment of the credibility and "quality" of the feedback can be perceived as more experienced users in SR can be more trustworthy because most likely they have bought from other vendors and have seen other packaging techniques which makes them a better source to help you know what service,packaging and quality of product to expect and decide wether you want to buy or not.

I thought of this feature after seeing so much contradictive feedbacks on some vendors' profiles which led me to suspect it for a fictive user or to question the standards of the buyer. I think this feature will help get rid of the potential "wrong" rating undependable of the reason for it.

Please post your thoughts on this feature. Maybe if i didn't miss anything we can get SR to implement this feature which to my opinion will only help the buyers and protect them from potential disappointment or even scam.

*I think the number of successful transactions that should be posted is only the one that is related to the specific section that it is posted in i.e Cannabis, Stimulants etc. this way the shown experience of the user is more trustworthy because let's face it an expert on cannabis won't be that expert on his first purchase on mdma or whatever. :-)
