I must add that I’ve never been asked for positive feedback not to change or delete a negative comment. | | | When I want to say something positive or negative | Jun 24, 2018 |
I rarely post on the Blue Board, only when I have something really notable to say. | | | neilmac Spain Local time: 04:58 Spanish to English + ...
Very rarely. In fact, I think I've only commented on the BlueBoard once, and that was a long time ago. | |

On four types of occasions | Jun 24, 2018 |
a) When a client gets classified as a solid business partner, after we've successfully completed 3-5 projects in half a year or so, and both are looking forward to work together again. b) When a client asks me, after we've successfully completed at least 3 projects to mutual satisfaction over any time span. c) When a client unduly delays (LWA =2) or defaults (LWA = 1) on payment. d) To celebrate every 100 projects completed with a frequently recurring clien...

Outdated limited feedback | Jun 24, 2018 |
There're different Black and Whitelists, yet how do 'so-privileged' non-members are supposed to leave feedback on the BB at the ProZ, I wonder? Besides, it's rather subjective for a last-time "poor" client may often turn out much better than a once "trusted" one, not to mention that "best" are often but hyped up. | | | Abusing the negative ratings | Jun 24, 2018 |
This happened to me recently. After unsuccessfully trying to get paid, I submitted a non-payment report through the blue board. As a pure act of revenge, the outsourcer decided to smear my reputation by entering a negative rating on my profile, having absolutely no basis for doing so. Although I complained to Proz about this, so far they don't seem to care. So I guess now the doors are wide open for abuse. | | | Ricki Farn Germany Local time: 04:58 English to German When I feel I have something meaningful to say, and | Jun 24, 2018 |

I classify all my clients in the Blue Board. If everything goes fine, and payment is on time, it's a 5. I only made two negative comments in the BB, one non-payer and one rat-race site. Both well deserved and with several other low scores. All others were fives.
