Hi Astromarters,

Granted I'm pretty much a beginner here, but...

Is the rating system realistic?
Has anyone not received 5 stars recently?

About a year ago I gave a guy, who had received nothing but 5 star ratings,
a 3 star rating.
This is because we agreed he would send a postal money order as payment,
and sent a personal check instead.
When I asked him about this he didn't take it seriously.

Well THE GUY WENT BALLISTIC!
He threatened to remove the 5 star rating he had already given me,
and replace it with a big negative rant,
if I didn't recant my 3 star rating I'd given him.

Seeing as how I want to sell a scope here in the future,
I had to succumb to his BLACKMAIL.

Is there a way the rating system can be reworked to avoid this type of thing?

Thanks, Mark
