What's the point in giving someone a negative wifi rating?

ACC needs you to wait a day before making a thread. I think you should have to wait 3 days OR 50 posts OR actually add profile information, like your 3DS code, wi-fi rating from someone with no 3DS code seems odd.

Yeah I agree that having to add your 3ds code to your profile would be a good idea before allowing wifi-ratings. :O Then you might be able to track it back to the original account... Although I'm sure the admins can see the IP, some mods on other forums can even see IPs on some forums I went to before. But then the average non-mod person like me can have a better idea of who it is leaving the rating if there's a 3ds friendcode... although I suppose they could just make a code up. =3= Sigh.


@Beanie: Aw sorry that happened to you. :C It's scary. ; - ;

I am curious, is there any way that someone could actually provide evidence that someone didn't hold their side of the deal? Such as for example a video recording showing what the offender did and the negative ratings would need to be backed up with such evidence? But then I could imagine it would lead to other problems as well and another loophole to be exploited?

I like that it's even in place as opposed to nothing, however, I usually use my own judgement to determine if someone is trustworthy or not.

ive never had a scammer in animal crossing. not in city folk either.

but if a person has 20 good reviews to 1 negative, i would still trust them. maybe they messed up a trade, or the other person was confused. or they're a troll.

though a 3 day rule thing would be great, but i think some trolls wouldnt mind waiting. 50 posts maybe?? if i was a newbie i wouldn't mind.
