so, I saw the new/updated rules today, and I have to say I'm disappointed. It seems that the people doing the right thing are being punished for the scammers misdeeds.

In my honest opinion, it will not help eradicate scamming, as they have obviously proved they don't give a toss about the rules. all it will do is limit what the honest, law abiding citizens of lioden can offer ;)

So, I'd like to make an alternate suggestion, in that players have a trade/promise "feedback" much like eBay.



HOW WOULD IT WORK?
well, I'm not sure what would be the easiest way to code it into the game, whether a rating system, a thumbs up/thumbs down, or a % of negative to positive feedback

*suggested by Drongo [Good] (#35082) * I think having a "paws up" or "paws down" option would be nice, plus sort of fitting into Lioden.

WHAT IF I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO "REVIEW" ME?
simple. I think there should also be a "hide feedback" option on your page. but, if its hidden many people would believe its negative and it may effect your odds

WHATS THE POINT?
to allow options such as "unlimited breeding's", "cub from my next litter", "celestial garantee" etc etc that have all been banned in the recent rule update.

WHAT IF I LOSE MY MONEY?
honestly, your still taking a gamble on these types of things. place a negative review to the player, and hopefully help others stay out of the same sneaky sneaky trap

WHY ARE YOU ARGUING WITH THE MODS/ADMINS?
I am most definitely not. I am trying to provide an alternate solution to the blanket ban that has been placed. If no one supports it, so be it :)

WHAT IF A PERSON JUST REVIEWED ME BADLY BECAUSE THEY HATE ME?!
well, theres not much that can be done to stop that unfortunatly. however, to try and minimise the effect/chance of this, each player would only be allowed to "vote" once. maybe with the option of changing it later.

*Queen Halloween [BATS] (#23249) suggested*:
If you have a personal grudge against somebody and vote them down, yeah, it'd hurt them, sure. But there should be a 'total reviews' button. So the person is fantastic and everybody loves them except you, it'd be like 5% of 100% negativity. So if you were the first one, it'd show 100% negativity, but it'd also say 1 Negative votes out of 1.

Then, eventually. 1 Negative Votes // 100+

Along with GamingGal's and Ars' idea of having to had traded with them. Maybe to vote you'd also have to comment on it, saying why. It'd be like the modbox, I think. You could reply to the complaint, but also people could also view it. So, you'd have to come up with a legit reason why (if negative).

example? maybe?


on the players den page?


also I think a popup message/link asking "do you want to message *player* why?" or something


asked by PlaguedRuby (#26260) Also, will there be some sort of limit to reviews or something similar? Because what if someone continuously writes bad reviews over and over and over to spite someone? Or what if they use their second account to continuously write good reviews about themselves?
I think it should be a one time option, with possibly the option to change (not add another)

*suggested by KimikoKyuuketsuki- LSA- CCS- (#32476) *
I think there should be a review page where it shows comments and reviews and you HAVE to comment with reviews. it would make it easier for someone to see if it was a bull crap review because they would not have reasons to support


feel free to offer suggestions, questions etc and I'll keep this updated
