Forum user rating system
This is a guide to help you understand how the ratings system works and what it means. I would like to start off by saying that the ratings system is merely a way to help the moderators and administrators of this website track users who have consistently caused problems. It is not a feedback rating given by users for transactions in the classifieds. If a user has a sub-100% user rating, it does not mean that they are not a trustworthy buyer/seller. However, the same goes for someone with a 100% user rating.Violations of the Forum Rules will cause you to lose ratings points. There are three ways to lose ratings points: Post Deletion: Rating Subtraction Value: 5 percentage points
Post Modification: Rating Subtract Value: 2 percentage points
Thread Modification: Rating Subtract Value: 10 percentage points You will know when you have lost ratings points as a moderator will send an Instant Message stating how many points you lost, what your remaining percentage is, and why you lost the points. There is no way to earn back ratings points, so be careful. In extreme cases where your user rating falls too low, a ban may be placed on the account. | Quote, originally posted by Example IM » |

If you feel you should not have lost points for whatever reason, please politely contact a forum administrator and they will take it from there. Thank you.
