I needed a small job done so I decided to use a supplier in the BST forum.
Dude has, literally, over 60 other threads of providing this service. So I felt pretty confident making a tiny order with him on April 13th.
Today I realized that nothing has been done so I shoot him a PM. He has a really good rep so I have no doubt this will get straightened out. Probably just an oversight.
BUT...when I went to his latest thread, it was closed.
I guess it's set up to close BST threads automatically by default?
This made me realize that this system of doing things screws over buyers.
If someone has a problem with the service they can't post in the seller's thread if its closed.
And even if it isn't closed, it will be soon. Meaning the seller will make a new thread.
They then carry over all the good feedback, but of course if there are negative posts, those don't follow.
You took the one thing that's great about buying from sellers on forums (feedback all in one place...good AND bad) and took it away.
WTF, WickedFire?
I'm not saying this was intentional by WF. I'm just saying it's fucking retarded.
