let providers add some lines to his/her feedback after feedbacks are given and 'closed'

hi oDesk staff. is someone out there having some minutes? online?

 

my claim:

allow the providers correct their feedbacks after they got theirs. there are buyers playing around with them. I want the
right to align my feedback to the buyers´ feedback, if e.g. a project was ok, result ok, buyer satisfied but playing around with the feedback, afterwards explaining in a direct mail (as an answer to my question about it), that "no one wants people with 5 stars in everything :)" - the smiley is part of the quotation.

 

I want to align - in such cases - my feedback given to a buyer which turns out afterwards as given too frankly, not expecting a buyer playing around with this - the buyer being a person obviously satisfied with the work, according to the buyer's mails. I want to have my right to add some lines of text to a given feedback in cases like this. ADDING a few lines to a given comment - and an alignment of the feedback stars/scores given to the buyer - should be possible, I really think.

 

(and please don´t tell me there´s a button which lets you request a correction from a buyer, he answers frankly and with smilieys via direct mails - but he didn´t give and won´t give a response to this request, so this is not a solution. I want to add a few lines to the feedback I gave to him. I think we providers can demand this, really. when looking at some discrepancies which you can see sometimes - discrepancies between buyers` and providers´ feeckbacks - then I really believe this is not a demand which relates only to my case.)

 

[ps. edit. thank you for rating this post, dear visitor and possibly a buyer being. I understand your feelings, but...]

[pps edit 2. lots of thanks to 2 new raters, possibly provider beings. thanks for rating it up and please let us (us forum readers) know what you think about it. my assuming that this might relate to lots of other providers is a result of many hours spent with searching, looking at many profiles and work histories before applying for my first job here some weeks ago, and I´ve seen some cases which look as human beings still being human beings: some of them (few cases but with the ability to destroy) having a tendency to sadism. it seems to be a higher problem with cheap buyers, at a first glimpse, destroying providers with cheap (philippine-based, india-based) hourly rates. at least that´s my first first impression. this tendency being some psychologocal effect, I assume. I have seen providers loosing 75% of their earlier philippine hourly rate [set down after such feedbacks]. I think, it would lead too far to assume an (unconscious) strategy behind, but it leads to effects and if you compare - in such cases - the feedbacks between the provider´s (long, detailed, 5 stars to the buyer, so obviously the buyer gave them no hints at being unsatisfied with their work) - and the back-feedback from the buyers, then a) you can imagine the story behind and b) really, it would be good to find a solution which wouldn´t destroy oDesk's dealing with feedbacks, but at the same point allowing to help in such cases. adding a few lines and aligning the stars. oDesk? an answer?]
