Will you really post negative feedback? I am reluctant to complain about the member who never thanked me for the huge gift of fabric, the quilter who did not acknowledge the quilt I donated, the quilter who said she was helping a child... At least I will not be gullible in the future!

I will if I order something and don't receive it, but they have my MONEY!!!

you bet

I wouldn't unless I knew all of the circumstances. Then I would decide.

Dotty, I hope I wasn't one of them that you sent a big box of fabric to and didn't thank you. I am fairly new and several people sent me some things and I did not know how to post a thank you or who they came from. So , even if you did not send anything to me, I am going to give you a big THANK YOU for everything you do. I see you post lots of things and you make cute pincushions and other things. So, lots of (((HUGS and KISSES))) are sent your way for being a special person.

It's a difficult question. I personally send pm's/thank you notes to let the sender know I've received the item, even when buying something. If I don't send one, it's because I forgot and thought I'd sent it...I've been having to leave extra notes for myself, lately. MS does wonders for my memory at time.

Feedback is not for posting negatives about manners. It's for posting about someone not keeping up their end of the bargain in a selling or swapping situation.

my mum has MS and she has reached the ripe old age of 93 years of age. she does have memory problems too.

I have NPD and memory problems too I can go to town to buy 2 things and forget the second thing, I am always forgetting to do things. if I don't do it straight away it has gone from my mind till goodness knows when, so if I forget to reply to someone it is because I didn't do it straight away.

Huge hugs!

I'm so sorry if I didn't PM you. I have struggled to figure out who some of the squares were from. I did make a public thank you to everyone by first name just because I wasn't positive I sent everyone a PM. I NEVER intend not to say thank you. Some packages came without a return address and some without a user name. I am so sorry! I have also saved all the addresses so when I can afford too, I can put a personal note in the mail.

Huge hugs

That is how I understood it also. But then I could be wrong...happens all the time :roll:

I will post for those who buy and those buy from. GOod swaps, I don't think it is meant for a place to post thank yous for misc things like sending freebies or pay it forwards. We do that because we want to. Negative ONLY, and only if someone cheated you or you know it would benefit the members to be aware of someone who is obviously cheating or spamming.ANd this only after I try to communicate with that party. The rules say after we try to work it out and we can always remove it later. I hope it works out for the good of the board. "Life" has many circumstances we cannot sidestep. I for onew will check it out completely before even considering a negative feedback. Happy quilting.

agree

Sometimes a pm of what is going on, works better.

Can't we just hope that we won't need to post negative feedback?

Yes, but I have been a bit gullible. So we will all be more cautious and feedback will help.

I know Dotty... I just have no desire to leave unhappy feedback. I know it will help people though

I agree....no feedback is better than negative if it does not serve the board. I also agree that we just don't even thnk about it until it happens. Happy quilting and blogging everyone.
