Why isn't there a mechanism to provide negative feedback (without getting personal) to a transaction? Other sites, such as FM, allow for it and the process seems to work very well. Without it, there's no ability to alert other POTN members to unscrupulous sellers. Naturally, I'm asking this for a good reason after finally having Paypal resolve an issue in my favor for an item that was purchased on the POTN Sell forum.

This has been asked and answered countless times by the MODS. The reasoning behind it is that most negative experiences are merely a mis-communication and the powers that be don't want a witch hunt based on mis-communication.

Site admin has said that they will not be adding 3rd party software to the forums, not just a feedback add-on, but any add-on.

I don't see a need for 3rd party software...there's already a positive feedback thread, wouldn't take any effort for a negative feedback thread (akin to the Gear List thread). Since many have asked the question regarding a negative feedback thread, clearly there are some issues with some sellers that are causing that need.

Sticking one's head in the sand doesn't make the problem go away. Not everything is utopia... ;)

It's been answered many times before and Kevin nailed it. We don't allow negative feedback because it turns into a public lynching when in most cases it's usually a case of miscommunication.
