Can Talkbass add a feedback expiration age? (Edit: past a certain time back, old feedbacks disappear, say Mar. 10, 2003)
On eBay, there is a time limit on feedback. Not sure at the time of this posting, but I think it is five years.

I'll check on eBay and see how it works there, and post back here. |

Same situation, single neg feedback from many moons ago.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2004 Location: Ellenwood,Ga. | | | Paul,I just got my first negative feedback from a deal I had to back out on that happend back in March.He claims that I strung him along for 2 weeks then backed out.I don't leave people hanging,because I've had it done to me.But I didn't leave them negative feedback either.My backing out of the transaction didn't cost him a single penny.He could have brought this to my attention sooner,but he chose this route.It looks like he's just taking his frustration out on me.And why did he wait 2 months? Please look at my feedback,what he wrote,and my response,and tell me if there anything that can be done.Thanks. 73Jbass.

I think it'd be more useful to see feedback a TB member has been given in the past, say, five years instead of further back. Comments, all? |

I'd like to continue the discussion of some kind of feedback expiry age, and I may also start another thread dealing with the concept of a negative feedback appeal process.
As it stands, we sellers on Talkbass are all vulnerable to a crank buyer or a seller leaving unreasonable negative feedback. It'd be nice to be able to get such removed under due process from TB admins. |

from what I see, there's no way to expire feedback with the feedback system we are using with vBulletin.
I think, realistically, people will look at the 1 feedback and see it was a long time ago and discount it among all the other positives you have. |

For example: You have nothing but positives for two years. But your feedback expires after 6 months. There goes a lot of your POSITIVE marks. And then you receive a recent negative, and your overall percentage rating drops more dramatically than if you had retained all those positives that had expired.
I agree with David, most buyers will look not only at the negative feedback, but also the frequency and from how long ago they occured.
