Also, for the people saying that negative ratings should stay forever, you have to take into account people that will give out false negatives for whatever reason. So having them stick regardless could cause just as many problems as it'd solve, if not more.

Real talk.well if someone gives out a false negative for something stupid or an accident, then it's understandable that they'd be removed
but.............if someone has scammed/stolen/etc and has had the negative ratings removed with no warnings or reprocussions whatsoever, then there's really no point to the negative rating option is there????
maybe i misunderstood you but i disagree
Well, I think what people were truly aggravated about was the fact that their negative ratings were taken off without them even knowing. If you get a false negative rating, and you can prove it, then you should talk to a mod about it getting taken down. But, until then, the rating should stay there.

Do the neg ratings get manually removed by someone or do they get phased out like old infractions and stuff? The latter would make sense to me after a long period of time. Six months or so, idk. People can learn their lessons. That doesn't appear to be the case with whatever happened this weekend, but yeah. /shrug
If they're being manually removed I don't see the reason behind that at all.

Hi so I don't really know entirely what's going on here. The craziness in here seems to have calmed down a bit now so for the time being I will keep it open for any civil discussion. I'm pretty sure I know who most of this is referring to as I briefly heard about it this weekend. Of course as you all know, we've been busy maintaining the previously ongoing event. Now that is over and done with, we'll take a closer look into this. I intend to make a longer post later or tomorrow when I've read everything and have more information from others. In response to some posts in here though, it needs to be understood that it's never as simple as "ok someone said they got scammed, perma ban now!".
EDIT: Reading LambdaDelta's recent posts above me, they've mostly summed up most of what my post would probably say. A "never remove ratings" policy is simply not practical for reasons they've pointed out. That said, I'll still be posting to clear up some parts of this particular instance.
I can't imagine the mods just remove ratings on a whim. If they aren't sure that the person scammed, they're in full right to remove.
Also, without hard evidence, how are you able to tell who really got scammed and who's just lying about it? That's where the problem in this thinking lies. That simply anyone could claim to be scammed regardless of the actual situation if staff left all of them without review.
Thank you Justin. I don't know when there will be a month where the site is conflict free. March was argument month, and April was scam month.
