How much do other players use the negative feedback when deciding to play a member. I recently got my first negative feedback in game # 275837 (totally unwarranted by the way...it was a retaliatory negative for me leaving him one for deadbeating...guy didn't play a round and he called my playing "cheap").
I worry now that some members won't want to engage in a game with me. Does anyone pay attention to these ratings. Just curious.

I don't care about feedback I leave it because people deserve to know what the players like but I ignore it completely

Yeah i saw that you had a negative and from playing with you i wondered why, and the guy deadbeated, and then left a negative?
Thats messed up.

I always look at the negative feedback of players before I join a game. Forewarned is forearmed. I look at the negative feedback, read the response, and if necessary look at the game myself.
Your negative feedback was unjustified. It wouldn't deter me from playing in a game with you in the least.
In fact, I myself automatically give negative feedback to any player that deadbeats in a game I play. I have subsequently withdrawn it if the player contacts me with an explanation.
I don't think you have anything to worry about.
Having negative feedback is a concern, having ridiculous negative feedback isn't.

I read the feedback before joining, i don't just look that there is negative feedback.

^thanks...although the reason I posted wasn't to get it removed, but thanks. I try hard to play fair and fun, so the negative feedback was a bummer. Thanks again for removing it.

one or two almost never mean anything...and multiple with players that play a ton, arent even neccessarily true...but if there is a common theme, at least you can be prepared for the possiblility of the same behavior
if you see a feedback that says player x and y played together to kill me, and you join a game with x and y....you probably wont win...
but some of the nicest guys in here, have the occasional negative feedback, that says more about the giver than the one they gave it to
i have more people on my ignore list that ive seen neg feedbacks from...than to....

if they piss you off during a game and you're still pissed off about it a day after the game finishes or you're eliminated then yeah leave them negative feedback otherwise don't bother.

for me, the negative is what gets me to read the feedback...i like my negative, personally...(shhh, don't tell him that) and i don't care how much you feedback you have, i'll still play you...

Don't really get a chance to read it until after the game's started, anyway.
