Just wondering, when is it okay to leave a negative feedback? Other than the obvious reasons - scams, duplicate/invalid keys etc.

EDIT: I may have phrased that poorly - it was meant for the trading part of the site, not giveaways.

I got a person respoding to my trade thread, he offers a trade, I accept and add him and then he backs out, no reply or explanation.

don't leave-rep
you didn't trade, so there's nothing to leave rep about.

Makes sense.

Also, don't forget to add to your blacklist.

I get that you're angry, but it's pretty annoying to check someone's feedback and see that their -rep is not from a trade. It would easily make me distrust you more for misusing the system than him, which is the opposite of what you want

Yeah, personal blacklist seems more fitting anyway. Didnt think it was reason enough to leave a bad rep anyway, otherwise I would've done it straight away.

ignore him/her. shifty characters are better left alone. and without solid evidence you become liable under misuse of trade feedback if you give -ve trade feedback.

When you have effectively traded with the person and consider they are not a good person to trade with

Well, I consider this guy unreliable. Suggests a trade, than backs out of a deal.

So you didn't trade with them. Don't leave a feedback at all, that would be against the rules and you could get suspended.

Bro, every person is free to back off from a trade. The only reason you should give negative feedback is because after reaching an agreement the person disappears. But if you talk and he clearly says he has changed his mind, it's his right to do so.
You might be displeased but rememeber that one day you might back off from a trade too. Just be polite and say it instead of ignoring the trader ;)
