There are rules now that govern auctions and not changing the finish time is one of them, the mods also stated that if a player infringed those rules the rating system could be used. So the negative rating you were given for that was probably justified. You do not have to be there at the end of an auction, you just look to see who the last bidder was prior to the closing time. There is nothing to stop you stating you will not be there at the close of the auction but you will contact the winner as soon as you are able to. Then everyone is happy.
Couldn't they have just waited for you to get back instead of making it unfair for them?

I don't think calling those people "idiots" on a separate thread was very polite. A Mod had to close it for a reason.
Don't forget if you want to or think you're going to change the time of the auction end that you put a disclaimer in the op when the auction starts. If not they are allowed to give you a bad rating for changing the time if they should have won.
i am not sick of the wifi rating system but i am sick of the reports system because apparently you can get in trouble for mini modding for reporting a post!!!
I actually got an infraction for that too. I just talked formally so the new person could understand me because he posted on the wrong board. Oh well.
i didnt even post in the thread tho, i legit reported it and got a warning for mini modding for reporting a post...........
