Bad reviews about this topic have been left ad-infinitum showing a trend.Discogs adhere to a strict marketplace feedback policy - that's their prerogative. Some feedback obviously may warrant removal. Unfortunately their unhelpful lack of transparency regarding feedback removal has lead to more questions than answers with regard to the integrity of their feedback system discussed in Discogs' forum for more years than I can recall.Decisions are not reported for removed non-positive feedback a user leaves for another about their buying or selling experience. Buyers or sellers only know feedback is removed if they happen to stumble on the user's rating at a later time. Discogs do, however, report to users via their internal messaging system who request a feedback removal once it's completed. Therefore, as that's the case Discogs really could, and should at least send users a brief inbox message explaining which criteria for removal was met. Otherwise users are clearly none the wiser on the specific criteria that wasn't followed for future reference. Legit feedback includes useful comments about experiences that would be beneficial for buyers & sellers. As things stand negative feedback with factual comments seems to be removed at the whim of whoever in their feedback "review" team deems feedback inappropriate. I carefully examined their policy before leaving feedback only to find it removed a couple of weeks later and couldn't identify which criteria (7 in total) could possibly suggest it was inappropriate. When I contacted Discogs via their support system their support representative directed me to send feedback about this issue to the Discogs Management Team through their "Survey Monkey" webpage - feedback which probably never gets looked at, let alone taken under advisement.Nothing Discogs may say in reply to contradict this review will pursade me to believe feedback is reviewed thoroughly and fairly enough.Discogs simply should be more transparent in general as they were many years ago, especially about probity of feedback.
