Ban this type of feedback response. It's mostlly unsubstantiated and frequently doesn't mean the person who received the negative feedback is a bad trader. But it's often that the person who left it WAS never on. Or they were in different time zones. This type of feedback should be eligible for removing negative feedback if they could not trade due to lack of time zones. And no one wants negative feedback, especially if it's not their fault. Right?

All of my negative feedback has been exactly as you posted it. They even capitalize the word "ON"

No, it actually means the you/they did a poor job of synching times with with the them/you. It's a valid, yet horrendously stupid reason for negative feed back. It should just be neutral at the least.

Maybe you shoulda thought ahead when you were auctioning, with this scenario in existence, wouldn't it be an ass if this happened, when you can clearly prevent it from happening in the first place?

Usually that kind of feedback can be avoided if you take the time to mail the person when the auction ends and clearly state your playing times (along with timezone and/or converted to Basil Time) and ask when they play. Even if you're not able to meet up for awhile, the other party is aware that you're trying and unlikely to leave negative feedback. Ideally everyone should have their playing times listed on there Basil ID so that when someone is thinking about placing a bid on your auction they will see it and only bid if they think they can be on at those times to meet you.

I agree, I'd still have 100% if it weren't for their stupidity.

The trade was never made, so they have a perfect right to leave negative feedback. Though I usually leave neutral. :/
