Tandem app modding policy is abusive

Postby mercutio » Sun Apr 30, 2017 7:12 pm

Hi just want to give a general warning about the awful modding policy of tandem language exchange, all it takes is two people to not like you and you are banned forever no matter if you have 100 "good reviews" on your page. You can be like a saint and all it takes is two people! You love contact with all friends etc forever! And once banned tandem don't care! Happened to a few people already!

Happened to me and I didn't even report the other person cos life's too serious already for that sort of petit mud slinging

It's a shame cos it could have been good app

Just want to give people a heads up!

Thanks for the heads up.
Their sign-up page says nothing at all about their "rating" policy, so the site has quite unfairly ambushed you.
What a shame.

The mention on it on the FAQ but yeah, it's a big known problem.
I won't use it for that reason.

Talk to https://www.linkedin.com/in/aschentrup/ if you want to try to get things changed or improved.
