Need help with a member pinesfarm

[Fish]

Valid point Al. . . But this kid isn't out of the "rep-woods" yet.

wtf does that mean???

The "rep" **** is totally meaningless........

He could rip off 1/3 of the memebers here, and after a few days of bland posts
be a fine standing member here..

This discussion is "very" silly.....

 

[RAYINTOMBALL]

Let me preface this by saying this is just my opinion. I think there should be no positive rep what so ever for pinesfarm. Just because he did what was right after 3 months ( still to be determined) and shipped the saw I see no reason at all to give the him any rep. Why should the young man get anything but scolded for the way he treated wi50 on the transaction. Now if wi50 receives the box and there's a brand new MS660 in there I'm all for giving him positive rep because he would have gone above and beyond trying to make things right. How you like those apples.

is this what "they" mean by stepping in **** and come out smelling like roses?

From red rep to nova !!

Sheesh Fish. . . Got cramps today or something?

Reputation and the date a member joined can be an excellent tool to use during a transaction. . . Much like the fancy, meaningless, numbers you get on eBay. Neither are 100% fool-proof, but useful still.

If the kid dilly-dallies with this saw much longer, I'm sure he'll be virtually flogged by members here, if not permanently banned.

As you say, this has gotten "silly", and not worth the time it takes to type out the words. We all have our own perspective and opinions on this matter. . . If someone disagrees with another, fine. . . Perspectives' and opinions' aren't set in stone and can change by the minute.

If people are getting all butt-hurt over other folks doling out rep as they individually see fit. . . Tough cookies. As you say, rep is dumb -- so no need to have overtightened panties over it then right?

I remember a thread that was about nothing but begging for rep. How many Novas were made because of that thread.

The "rep" here makes E-bay"s feedback system look good.

Anyone that wishes to explore that, I will be more than happy to oblige.....

The rep thing here has no relation to real time sentiment or thought.

Look at "Stihlthedeere". He is a well respected member now, as well as "Pinesfarm", so the rep system is a total joke...

well said!

That label still has not been scanned in anywhere. I thought you could only print priority or express mail from home, not first class or parcel post. Priority and express are both trackable, and they would get scanned in at a pickup at your house/business, or via a scan form when dropped off, or when they hit a new hub in the delivery process, for the last one, they date stamp the 2nd half of the label as proof of mailing. And judging by the online tracking, the last scenario is what we are waiting on to show a package has been sent with that tracking number.

You guys repping this kid back to green before a saw has shown up show just how flawed the rep system is and also a good indicator of what's wrong with the country overall. At best, we have a rotten delayed, no communication deal, at worst we have a thief. How either is worthy of positive rep is beyond my understanding.

I know with the USPS a lot of the time when I am tracking a shipment to myself it won't even show up until after it is at my door. With that said, I negged him because there just is not an excuse for taking so long, or at least not giving the buyer a valid reason.

I just read through 20 pages of this and still dont know if this guy got his saw...

Pinesfarm isn't too far from me, I've talked to him through PM but thats it. Last he said he was going to put a 660 P&C on it and fix it up..

Keep us posted!

 

[Fish]

the saw has been shipped

He now has 1 1/2 Novas now.
How worthless is that rating system, eh?????

I would buy a Porshe from him on that nova thing..........

Fish if rep were dollars you would have enough for some hot wings and a jug and I would have enough for a pint and a slice of pizza. That's about fair isn't it?

I am a Johnny come lately to this forum. The gun forums etc. that I have hung out on don't use rep. But, what you end up with is some kid who lives in an apartment in NYC making 7 or 8 thousand posts who knows nothing he hasn't read in a magazine and his posts carry more weight than somebody who can build a gun from scrap metal and has hunted on three continents but only has a few posts. Same thing.

Pinesfarm is far from "well respected" Fish, but your exaggeration has somewhat proven your point.

I was saying that join date and rep can be useful, as well as asking around about folks, and site activity. Pinesfarm is going to be known as the "rip-off guy" on this site, without any doubt. . . Regardless of shiny stars under his avatar.

Rep is like your Credit Report IMHO. . . It can be lost and gained with a few good or bad actions/decisions on one's part. Lots of folks that have had bad credit were given the opportunity to redeem themselves by a do-over. I gave him a start toward his do-over -- only time will tell whether he keeps it or not.

Some time ago I had several thousand dollars in my PayPal account belonging to other members. . . I was going to bid on saws' for them at a local auction. The saws' went waay too high, and everyone was promptly refunded their hard earned money. My willingness to help others, and the fact I didn't run off with their money helped my "street-cred", "rep", whatever you want to call it.

Folks that are on here most everyday, with good rep, and a year old or better join date can probably be trusted. . . Again, not 100% though.

I can't say I didn't get rep from the second "beg" thread that was started, but I exclaim that the majority of my fancy-shiny-stuff under my user name was earned through post merit.

 

[YZEATER]

i bet if you ask anyone who gave him positive rep would buy the next item piney puts up for sale?? i bet not.

 

[highpointtree]

there is a lot more to this rep then we even realize. when I put the curser over his rep it says "he must own a stihl and he ain't gonna part with it"
