MORNE Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 There should be a disclaimer on the main page under the bikehub logo: BikehubBeware: here be pitchfork mobs.

ADMIN!?
Underachiever Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 Reading this thread back to front while sipping a glass of red.... Morne might be a descent oke, from Stellies nogal, and a good mechanic, and Afrikaans But He's got a lot to learn about how to deal with people in a polite and professional manner, especially since the mistake, intentional or not, started with him. He's the seller, the person trying to make a living of selling stuff...being it a service or stuff... Selling 101 - the customer is always king - since they pay your salary. Ask Rapide.... Sies man..

ADMIN!?Technically you did not do a trade with the guy, so you should not have negatively rated or commented, as such you abused the system and took sides! Next time keep your urge to rate to yourself, unless you are actually doing the deal. I don't care if you think it was a moral high ground, you and others who did the same thing, now make a mockery of the rating system, which is a slippery slope! It becomes a free for all and it will end up no one can take the rating system seriously!
TheoG Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 And for gods sake close it.It has been resolved as far as I can tell.If another person posts about the difference between 271/2 and 29 I will slit my wrists or something equally dramatic Please go ahead make my day ... Sorry @Kranswurm, ek moes daai een in kry ... sal nie weer nie.

shaper Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 Know one seems to have the fogiest about whats going onPerhaps they should read the terms of use to clear the fog with regard to rating a sale, only the buyer and seller can rate each other https://community.bikehub.co.za/docs/terms_of_use
MORNE Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 Ugh. Ok. Yes. Helping a fellow hubber out to get a reaction out of the guy who screwed him over and kept quiet was wrong? The seller did the same to the buyer btw. There was no mudslinging...just asking him to do the right thing. And in the past it was possible to remove/edit comments on there if i recall, which i fully intend doing still...since it all ended relatively well in the end. I’ll give him 5 stars for doing the right thing infact. Thats the premise of helopeter too. The system allows it. If it were blasphemy it would not be possible to do it that way and comments would only be possible between confirmed buyers snd sellers. Anyway, meh...give me a warning point for breaking the terms of use re the rating system. I will wear it as a badge of honor in this instance.

Anyway, meh I totally get your point and I also considered doing it, but, I also tend to agree @shaper. imho, the ratings should be between buyers and sellers only.
MORNE Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 I totally get your point and I also considered doing it, but, I also tend to agree @shaper. imho, the ratings should be between buyers and sellers only.Yes, i agree...in a perfect trading scenario.
PhilipV Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 This, and the broken Di2 saga just reaffirms that I will not only buy something sight unseen, but also not sell it sight unseen. To add to the drama we now even have people rating the buyer without ever buying from said buyer. What stops people from abusing it further and giving negative ratings to people because they don't like the tone of their messages to a mate.
Eddy Gordo Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 Since when do you swear at you customer(s)? I struggled with the afrikaans, just about made out its pretty much what Robert posted except for a few bits and the swearing. Then I stopped reading further.A customer can be you best friend, but never ever talk in a casual manner when doing business, especially slang and swearing. My suppliers(some friends) respect the fact that I don a business hat when doing business with them. There is no room for friends.
shaper Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 Yes, i agree...in a perfect trading scenario.Even in an imperfect scenario! Vent all you want in a forum thread, even comment if the deemed guilty party comments, or phone them and vent you anger! We all vent and comment in the forum thread! But the only way to get a working rating system and and a more perfect scenario is if the rating system is not abused. In this case it was and by many!

MORNE Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 The mods seem to not care about any of this though. Please come deliver upon us your judgement oh moderatey ones.Maybe the popcorn is too good? The silence is deafening though. /Comic sans/. I think
Hairy Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 Yes yes...let it go now.The oke fu*cked up and we can now move on or are you going to going to demonstrate some moreI am going to hang around some more. You have not enjoyed the thread, and noted as much a couple of times ... unfollow if it unsettles you?
