Clarifications
- one or two issues with trades does not mean someone goes on the blacklist. I know of many good traders who went through 'blips' due to personal issues or local CP issues. The blacklist really is for people who are scamming etc. A negative is often enough to stop people trading with them so feel free to leave honest feedback. Even if you leave a positive after a replacement, you can say it is a replacement or took a while in the rating (obviously if sent late, not if CP just took weeks to deliver)
- I have said this before and will likely say it again but please ignore CP's guidelines on how long mail takes across the country. We all know it can take much longer. Generally you should allow at least 2 weeks for envies to arrive before contacting the person (unless you see others mentioning issues here) and confirming they sent, have your correct address etc. You should also allow the person to replace a lost trade with a fair replacement before leaving a neg
- For trains, the time between the send date and last date to receive should also be at least 2 weeks, it is unfair to have traders send coupons on time to be excluded from the train and wait weeks to get them back on a return to sender sticker when the time allowed for mailing was set much shorter than reasonable.
- Trains should also have clearly stated rules when traders join it, I received a number of complaints of trains with lots of rules added later or dates / number of coupons to be sent etc TBD. It is not fair to change the rules after someone joins then leave them a neutral when they leave the train because the rules are unfair but you put aside coupons for them
