I dunno if it is just trouble makers who get low ratings. People may rate other people down if their ideas do not agree with their own or if, as LDS said, they make a post talking about their rating, or just if they say something that a lot of people think is stupid or arrogant even if most of what they say is OK. So I dunno if the rating is a general reflection of troublemaking....

I do agree that the new system is more constructive, however, and a change for the better.

What is the policy on someone giving a "trade" rate when there has been no trade? Can't this be used to skew the results?






Good question.

In spite of the fact that I have done countless trades with people and was on the "Good trader list", I had someone who has never traded with me rate me a 1 on trades with a comment like "I'll never trade with you".

That's clearly abusing the spirit of the rating system and ultimately lending doubt as to the rating systems usefulness.

The trader rating should be about trades and not used as a tool to attack someone you don't like.

You can always PM an administrator if you feel that there is some shady business going on.  We'll take a look at the situation and do our best to see if it can't be resolved :wink:

Though we can't make promises, we'll make an effort to ensure people are playin' fair.

Speaking of "The trader rating should be about trades", take a look at your girlfriend?s rating.....:

"by Butterfly_TLG [06.20.03 06:38am]

I've traded spit plenty of times with him."

That's my wife and she knows better than anyone that I am a good trader.

She's a good trader as well. :smile:

She didn't rate me until after that other person came in and rated me down.

The guy who rated me down has magically deleted my rating of him.

Whatever.

Yes, the Trade Ratings are ONLY FOR TRADES, and we'll take a dim view on anyone who is abusing the Trade rating system for there own personal hi-jinks and shenanigans at the expense of a valuable tool that benefits ALL of this community. :frown:

I caught somebody using the Trade Ratings as part of a flame war yesterday, and I came this close to banning him, but I explained our position to him instead, and he saw the light. :smile:

I'll list just one. You deliberately imitated that Ohio was going to pass a law outlawing spores of mushrooms that could be grown into active chemicals.




You have things WAY mixed up man. SixTango first posted on the subject of Ohio over at Nan's.

I made a post over here pointing to 6T's post over there. I was hoping for more info, no where did I ever say the law was going to pass. In fact, I posted that the law had not passed in previous years.

So what do you mean?

And stop ragging on the other vendors like SporeWorks.




Don't try and start shit between me and Sporeworks.

I don't talk trash about Sporeworks because they are the only vendor to have never talked trash about TLG.

Can you point to a post where I have ever said anything negative about Sporeworks? Huh? Can you?

More allegations without facts.


Quote:

For all I know this might be some kind of scheme cooked up between you and papaver to demod and/or ban me.





This comment tells me that you really have problems. You obviously think that I hate you and that I and other people are plotting against you.

Like I said, I don't even think about you.

You need to step away from here for awhile if you covet your modship that much.

You're the only mod I've seen act this way.

Anyway man, good luck to you.

Golly Gee Willikers! :shocked:

Would some one please post a list of all the conspiracies I'm supposed to be involved in. I can't quite keep up with it all. Maybe we could publish a newsletter, or something? We could call it, "The Grassy Knoll," or, "The Magic Bullet: All the news that's fit to line birdcages with!"  :smirk:

And for the record, the only ratings I have deleted were by SBT and his known puppets, at the request of the members who were involved, and a trade rating by another member involved in a flame war yesterday, who had not traded with the individual in question, and who I communicated with by PM about this abuse.

Trade Ratings are for people who have engaged in trades with each other. Other uses are an abuse of the Trade Rating system, and are therefor unfair to the members of this community who rely on it.

I really don't know what the hell is going on here, but this paranoia (or whatever it is) should stop now... :frown:

Just assume it's all of them.

Hell... if Bush can be responsible for all events back to the days of the dinosaurs, you can be responsible for everything that ever happened here.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

If you had done your research you would have known that was not the case. I know the sponsor of the bill and I follow it very closely. And although it might help your business to spread that lie it isn't anywhere close to the Truth.

Thus, you are a liar and I don't trust people who lie.






The proposal in Ohio has passed through the house.

lol
hoisted on your own petard.
and just recently you called me names in another thread,
in this very forum,
behind my back,
as i wasn't even involved in that thread at the time.
and this is many months after we supposedly made peace.
so i'd have to agree with the fellow who said you are dishonest, as well as being a hypocrit and immature. .
i've seen it myself.

In your case Hippie I was commenting on your actions of selling all the posts your members have made in cd form. I don't see that as being right and I clearly am not alone on that.

Mycotopia is your board and you have the right to do with it as you wish. I have the right to tell you how I feel about it (except on your board). You didn't like my comment and now you're pouty. Poor baby.

As for Mr Mushrooms who tends to attack anyone and everyone who "doesn't matter". I was just pointing out the obvious.

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck......

lol
you didn't express your self nearly so eloquently
when you talked shit behind my back.
the point still remains true-
you call folks names,
then turn around and call them immature when they respond in kind.
hypocrit is an accurate description,
and it is a form of dishonesty,
so you are guilty as charged.
no real point in wasting your time trying to deny it.
your own posts tell the story.
'nuff said.
i'm moving on.
