Hey guys. I'm glad to see that everyone's trades are going well and such! If I can have a little bit of your time, there are a couple of things we need to discuss as I would love to have your input on this stuff. Please understand that I am not trying to pick on anyone in particular when I bring this stuff up. They're either fully-fledged issues or potential issues and I don't want to see either one, and it is my understanding that none of you would, either.

1: I have noticed a rise in the amount of posts in this thread since its creation of people referencing positive feedback that they have received elsewhere online. This is starting to worry me because I don't know of a way that can be verified here. For instance, what if someone is claiming to be a member of Cheap Ass Gamer that has a lot of good feedback on that site, but they aren't that person? Or the eBay account stuff? I am not stating that anyone here has done this, as I have no reports of such a thing occurring, and I am also sure that the far and away vast majority of the posters here are more than legitimate. But we now have hundreds of people on that feedback list, and as it grows this potential also increases.

My only real proposal for this issue is for people to stop referencing feedback they've received elsewhere. I understand that some of you may not like this change as you've built up quite a reputation on other sites, and you're looking to get in on this site's action as well. What I'd like from you guys is to know whether or not you like this idea, if you have an alternative proposal, or something else.

2: The NeoGAF Plus and Gold programs. When I started those programs, things in this thread were moving a little slowly. I am amazed at how fast some of these sellers have made the list. They're all great sellers to be sure. But if you go and look at the list now, you can see blue in a lot of places and more than a few Gold members. I created this as a way to highlight really good sellers/traders/buyers, and I think it's been very successful in that respect. But the issue I'm seeing now is twofold. The first is that it's no longer as unique as it was when I started it. The second is that it's somewhat hard to spotlight these members, as was the original intention, when there's so many names on the list. Nobody really browses that list to see who the best sellers or buyers are. They just look at it to see if they have positive feedback or if there's been issues with that buyer.

So here are my proposed solutions for this particular issue. I plan to wait longer to add people to the NeoGAF Gold program from here on out. Members already in the Gold program stay in the Gold program. Members that would otherwise be really close to Gold status are "grandfathered" in for now. It seems cruel to have been so close and to have it taken away. For the rest of us, I'll add us on a less frequent basis.

My solution for the Plus/Gold program exposure has two parts. The first of which is that I plan to divide up the list as it is now. All feedback will remain intact for all users. There are basically three "tiers" right now, so I figure that is how many we could use for this program. We'll have one table for Gold members at the top, a second table for Plus members in the middle, and the big list of people that have yet to reach either status beneath those two on the User-Submitted Feedback List. The second part is to create two identical lists in the first post of this thread to more properly highlight Gold and Plus users. Just like the first one, I'm really open to suggestions, comments, or criticisms on these ideas.

3: This is more of a personal request from me to you guys. For the last handful of months, I've been trying to make the process of "inducting" people into Gold and Plus a little more personable so it'd be memorable and more fun. I have garnered eight positive feedback mentions within this thread, which means that (hopefully) before long I will be eligible to be in NeoGAF Plus. I kind of don't want to induct myself. :p So I'm hoping I can get some members to volunteer to do this one for me.

Anyway, thank you very much for your time and happy trading!

I agree with this completely. I also think links to external sales sites should not be allowed, ie, posting ebay auction links or amazon stores.

I always felt that my GOLD status was undeserved. No way should I be in the ranks of the likes of GamerGeorge and xaosslug. I think something like a blue + for every 10 positive trades could be good. From there, gold at 5 blue +s, or 50 total positive trades.

An easy way to confirm an eBay account is send a message thru the eBay system with your GAF name and the items you are trading.

But I agree that posting eBay links in here should be a no no.

I can back this solution.

As far as any input or feedback goes...personally I use the NeoGAF Gold/Plus lists (and the feedback in general) as a way to identify the bad users

Thanks for all the hard work Crisis!

Agreed. I've always found it weird when people would much rather sell through eBay and take a loss after eBay + paypal fees rather than cutting out the middle man and selling here directly.

Crisis - I dont sell or buy much on here, but I've had a few transactions and I look at the thread daily.

I agree that outside feedback shouldn't be mentioned. Its not relevant to GAF trading and it shouldn't be up to the Gaffer to have to track down feedback from some outside source just to verify the seller. The seller takes chances and builds feedback just like they did everywhere else.

I also would think it'd be nice to amend that no links to ebay are listed. If you're selling something, I'll be damned if I want to go to ebay to buy it from you. I have had horrible times on ebay and I refuse to give that website page impressions for any reason. If you're going to sell something on Gaf, sell it on Gaf. If it doesnt go, put it on ebay and cut your losses here.

As far as inducting you, I think it would be appropriate for one of the Golds to do that for you. Hopefully someone will step up to the plate.

Thanks for the kind words. But that's not how Gold status works. :p I would not like to receive preferential treatment. If and when the time comes, I'd just like to not have to induct myself into Plus.

if only we were lucky enough to remove the professional vendors from posting. If we are really here to sell and trade amongst our on GafKind. People listing more than 10+ items, whether that list changes or not its just so many items listed that you eventually learn to scroll past them without really searching if they have something new each time on each page.

No offense, but I've put up big lists of stuff, and I'm hardly what you would call a "professional vendor." Some folks just have more stuff to get rid of than others. Like me. I'm clearing out room for a baby, so the more stuff I can get rid of, the better.
 
A few thoughts regarding the feedback program. Let me preface this by saying thanks to everyone who has contributed to maintaining the list, it's a great resource and your contributions are invaluable to the community.

That said, what about just doing platinum members at 50+ transactions? We would still have the benefit of knowing when someone reaches plus or gold, but only truly prolific sellers will likely gain platinum status.

Another suggestion would be resetting the list each year, but making a side note of the status thread regulars had for the previous year. Perhaps a perk to further differentiate platinum members could be that your status doesn't reset each year with everyone else.

I can see both sides of the argument. While I wouldn't want to chase away people who sell large amounts of stuff (I quite like being able to strike deals buying multiple titles, and that's only going to happen when someone has a selection), there are definitely a handful of culprits who abuse the thread by rehashing the same post every page for months on end. You can include me among the people becoming irritated with sellers like xaosslug, not because he has large posts with lots of items, but because he makes a point of hogging the top spot on every page with the same stuff he's already listed dozens of times. That's just bad form. Ideally this is the sort of thing people can self regulate, but every once in a while there's someone (who may even be a valuable regular) that pushes things a bit too far. It's not that hard to simply link to an older post, only post every few pages, or only re-list when there's an update. Basically, use common sense.

Crisis said:
I thought about adding another tier of B/S/T'er, platinum or whatever, but at some point, it's going to start getting confusing with different requirements and keeping track of all of that. I'd rather cap it at where it is now and simply raise the requirements just a bit. For right now, at least. And I really don't intend to reset the list each year. The idea behind the document is to have a record of each seller's history and feedback throughout the community and threads, as we have to do a new one each year now. It'd be nice to have a continuous feedback system as well, that way we can always have a reference. But outside of that, I really like the idea of the perks and I'm going to try to think of ways to incorporate that kind of idea into the list.
Word. Maybe plus could remain for every 10 transactions but stack (so people could +, ++, +++, etc.) until they're +5, which would be gold? This way you retain the old milestones, still show a clear progression, and only award gold status to prolific members. I don't know, I'm sure people will reach a consensus that makes sense.

Crisis said:
Okay, guys. I understand that I didn't post this all that long ago, but it seems like there's near-unanimous support for prohibiting referencing feedback from other forums or sites, as well as prohibiting listing eBay auctions or Amazon storefronts, etc. I'll gladly add something to the documents and the OP of this thread about that, but as you all know, I am not a mod. That makes enforcing this kind of thing fairly tricky outside of using the list somehow to penalize people that do this. Any suggestions on what I could do for people who do not adhere to that?
You know, that sounds good on the surface, but I have had at least one very positive transaction with FrostuTheNinja who linked to his very reasonably priced ebay store and gave shipping discounts for multiple items. I can definitely understand why people are leery of new posters who cite feedback from elsewhere, but there are times when we'd be missing out by flat out prohibiting linking to stuff like half.com stores.

That's just bad form. Ideally this is the sort of thing people can self regulate, but every once in a while there's someone (who may even be a valuable regular) that pushes things a bit too far. It's not that hard to simply link to an older post, only post every few pages, or only re-list when there's an update. Basically, use common sense.

Good point and I agree with you. Hopefully I didn't come across as pissy. I just wanted to make sure there's some clarity in not lumping everyone into the same group. I don't consider myself an abuser (I think I've posted my big list of crap maybe three times in the past two months), but I agree that there are folks in the thread that abuse the system, whether intentionally or not.
 
I like to see a resource like Amazon or eBay for people's feedback. If you don;'t like to visit those sites then don't, but that shouldn't keep people who do like it from getting more info on a potential buyer and seller.

I have an awful and huge list, I really try to only post it every few pages at BEST since it is so awfully large. I know people check several pages, I do!

However I don't really see the logic in denying feedback from other websites. If a specific user doesn't care for it, so be it. I don't list it anymore (no point), but if someone wanted it I'd be glad to provide it. These links are small, are they not? People deal here at their own risk, don't they? Just seems odd.

I come to this thread to get away from standards, rules, regulations that plague eBay, Amazon, and all other types of trade areas. I don't come here for new rules and regulations for posting...

1: I have noticed a rise in the amount of posts in this thread since its creation of people referencing positive feedback that they have received elsewhere online. This is starting to worry me because I don't know of a way that can be verified here. For instance, what if someone is claiming to be a member of Cheap Ass Gamer that has a lot of good feedback on that site, but they aren't that person? Or the eBay account stuff? I am not stating that anyone here has done this, as I have no reports of such a thing occurring, and I am also sure that the far and away vast majority of the posters here are more than legitimate. But we now have hundreds of people on that feedback list, and as it grows this potential also increases.


My only real proposal for this issue is for people to stop referencing feedback they've received elsewhere. I understand that some of you may not like this change as you've built up quite a reputation on other sites, and you're looking to get in on this site's action as well. What I'd like from you guys is to know whether or not you like this idea, if you have an alternative proposal, or something else.

Can't say that this is worrying. People have been referencing off site feedback for quite a deal of time (ever since I have been a participant in this thread). I can't really speak for anyone else, but if someone claims to have X amount of feedback from a secondary location, I'm going to seek some kind of confirmation through my own means (whether that be through alternate communication to confirm the same identity, or whatever it involves for me). I think it is reasonable to allow people to tout feedback they have accumulated at other websites, just as I think it would be reasonable to refer someone to this feedback from another location. It is up to the person whether or not they would accept that data - personally, I am not all that interested in feedback outside of GAF, but I can't say that link or reference in a post has ever bothered me enough to take up the torch and pitchfork. Seems kind of absurd to simply block out outside references because they *aren't* internal and for no other reason. Just my opinion, but I'd let people decide if outside feedback is worthwhile on a transaction by transaction (or person by person) basis. Seems kind of absurd to police such a matter as the risks are kind of inherent and I'm not much for restricting behavior to save the ones who won't think at all to begin with.


2: The NeoGAF Plus and Gold programs. When I started those programs, things in this thread were moving a little slowly. I am amazed at how fast some of these sellers have made the list. They're all great sellers to be sure. But if you go and look at the list now, you can see blue in a lot of places and more than a few Gold members. I created this as a way to highlight really good sellers/traders/buyers, and I think it's been very successful in that respect. But the issue I'm seeing now is twofold. The first is that it's no longer as unique as it was when I started it. The second is that it's somewhat hard to spotlight these members, as was the original intention, when there's so many names on the list. Nobody really browses that list to see who the best sellers or buyers are. They just look at it to see if they have positive feedback or if there's been issues with that buyer.

I don't have an awful lot of input on this. I think you are absolutely correct on this matter, as long ago it was a much slower affair, this you are surely right about. I have also noticed (even though my participation has lowered slightly over the past period of time due to real life issues) the increase in gold members. I think this is something you are spot on about both of these issues and considering you have done a phenomenal job thus far with the feedback information I sincerely doubt leaving this issue to you (especially when I concur) will yield negative results. I didn't quote the rest of your text, but I handily agree.

The NeoGAF User-Submitted Feedback List has been updated and it is accurate as of this post. I know I've posted a bunch today, but this time is a little different. We have a new addition to the NeoGAF Plus program!

  • Let's all welcome Eltacoman to the NeoGAF Plus program! He has successfully completed ten transactions within this thread. Eltacoman joins the ranks of the most delicious-named members of the NeoGAF Plus or Gold programs. I kind of want to eat him, but in a totally not-gay way. In a cannibal way. Trade on, you delicious-tasting son of a bitch.

umm... well, that's good to know? LOL

i'd just like to say that this thread has always been first come first served, whether it be the best deals or the 'top post', and I'm really beginning to resent all the personal opinion, nonsense, bullshit 'standards' people keep trying to FORCE on the people in this thread...

like I’ve said before: this thread is what it is and has existed in the capacity it has FOR YEARS w/o people on the sidelines trying to ‘take it to the next level’ or ‘make it better’. The NeoGAF feedback doc is Crisis’ baby, and he can do whatever he wants with it. I will abide by whatever rules GAF mod(s) put in place, but I’ll be damned if I’m gonna sit by and have my name continuously maligned by other members who personally feel what I’m doing is wrong; in the name of 'bettering' the b/s/t thread. Please.

i'm sorry if I annoy you, GrotesqueBeauty *shrug* but please don't try to enact 'laws' upon this thread for the sake of assuaging your annoyance.

anyway, I’ve been contributing to this thread (buying/selling) for a long-ass time and will continue to do so, as long as the awesome opportunity allows. <3
