LMAO question

[thunderstorm_19]

when you're doing a lmao, do you usually expect/anticipate getting feedback once it's been passed on and recieved by the next person?

Do you usually GIVE feedback to everyone who passes on your LMAOs promptly?

I don't have enough points available to do so. Once objects return home, (i've only gotten 3 back so far), I'd consider giving to one or more participant who a) was fast, AND b) did a beautiful contribution...
I don't however, give feedback to everyone who passes on a LMAO in a timely manner. This is appreciated, but also expected. I do give negative feedback to those who keep my LMAOs. I also remove it/neutralise it if the object moves on. I don't automatically give bag feedback for slowness. We all have things that are more important at times than nervousness (ie. family problems, exams), so it's not surprising even the best of us are slow at times. IT IS important to catch up though, and to communicate.

I've given feedback to most, if not all, people who have sent to me for my Random Acts of Mailing series.

I've given to some people who've answered tough questions about things I didn't understand/know how to do here.

I almost always have given feedback for exchanges. I often say 'feedback would be appreciated, if you feel it's deserved' with exchanges I send.

when I first started nervousness, I got the impression you had to leave feedback every time you did a project. This was because the little saying "you have signed up for X amount of items, but have only left X amount of feedback." Now, I do not care if I get feedback. But some form of acknowledgment is nice so I know that my object arrived safely. I love to give feedback to deserving players.

I give feedback to those who pass on my projects in a timely manner, because--although it is expected--not everyone does it, and I like to point out that here is a person who keeps the bargain. That's what I need to know about people who sign up for my LMAOs, so it makes sense to do feedback on it.

I give positive feedback to anyone who participates in my LMAO's when it reaches the next person in line. If they hold up their part of the bargain, I feel it's only fair for me to let other LMAO owners know that this person was honest with my LMAO.

I give appropriate feedback when it doesn't reach the next destination, or if I have difficulty with a participant (tough to reach, doesn't communicate well, is slow, etc.)

I'm not sure if this question belongs here, but it does relate to feedback, so... How do I give one person more than one feedback point? Is it possible? I realize it may not be since it could easily lead to abuse of the system, but there are some people who I've left a fb with for an lmao, and now I've completed a good exchange with them... what do I do?

Hey there fever-pitch! You aren't able to give more than one feedback point to a person, but you are able to change the feedback.

When I need to update feedback for someone, I set "related to:" to nothing and remove the exchange or object number. Then in the comments, I add a
tag right in the beginning, then the original exchange or object number right in front of my comment. Then I add a
tag after that comment, followed by the new exchange or object number and a comment about why I'm giving feedback. I also try to link to the original exchange or object when referencing it, just like a normal feedback point would. Since that might not make too much sense, here's an example of what it would look like on a feedback page:
</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">jadestar
Exchange xxxxxx: soandso did suchandsuch and it was a good thing.
LMAO xxxx: soandso did suchandsuch and continues to kick ass.[/b][/quote]

Does that make any sense? And I'm sure there are easier, prettier ways to do it, but that's just my way. Hope that helped!

That is the best I have ever seen it worded:

"Feedback would be appreciated, if you feel it's deserved".

I have a real issue with people demanding or expecting feedback and asking in an aggressive manner.
The above quote (taken from thunderstorm) is so reasonable!

I don't give feedback to everyone that participates in my LMAO's in a timely manner.
Thinking about it, perhaps I should.
The only time I give feedback to participants in LMAO's is when the actual object returns to me.  Then, I always leave feedback to the participants.
Thinking about it though, it really isn't fair to others if someone down the line from them screws up an LMAO!
This is something I'll have to think on!   http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

I usually always give feedback for exchanges that go well.  (ie - on time and a reasonable exchange).

One thing is for sure - there aren't any RULES about giving feedback.  I have developed my own personal guidelines as to when I give positive or negative feedback BUT everyone is different.

yah... i would give feedback to everyone who passes on my lmaos quickly if i had enough feedback to give out, but i don't... but i also don't want to be unfair or neglect to give fb to those who deserve it
