Swift VXi Spoiler

Hi Madjack,
    The terms are by the no of posts and not the duration of the posts.

Madjack,

We have done the needfull to obliterate your name from the mailing list.
 
As for your profile still showing you as "New Arrival', the user titles are not, in any way, determined by the time that your post has been displayed. If such was the practice, then anyone, even a person with just one post to his credit would have become a "Legend" had his post been there for a really long time!

It is decided by the number of posts that you have in your name. Had you seen this link before, it would have been clear to you.

We thank you for sharing your resentment towards our portal, this will surely help us get better.

Dear Ashish,
I hope you are from carwale.
Do you realise that this is the only way i have been able to get someone s attention at carwale???????
Are you aware of this?
I have sent two mails prior to this pointing out glaring mistakes in the site logic. Zero response.
And if you have access to all my earlier posts, you will notice they are all thought out responses. You must look in this matter of regulars fading out. Not a good symptom for a site aiming to be a community site.
In your answer you have answered your logic of charging the buyer...
and
coming back to your logic of glorifying the one with maximum posts as 'old timer, etc etc,,,isnt fair, in one of my posts you will notice i have pointed out a guy posting just for effect. Just repeating posts, no add value or even half decent question. Just repeat the question. That s what you going to initiate. Instead you must just mention the no. of posts near the guys name, no need to glorify him. Let the reader decide from the no. written near the name.
So,
I have had a lot of posts to my credit here, but i decided to move on, when I realised that you guys aren’t working for the community in a logical way.

 I hope at least now you will answer all the points and not just any one.

 Regards,

From one netizen to another.

Dear Madjack

We did get the two mails that you spoke about. I would take things up one at a time.

Consider this - you are looking for a house, either on rent or for a purchase, and invariably end up taking the broker-route since it is proper channel that helps you narrow down to the best option available. You pay quite a handsome money as 'brokerage' to that guy and you both live in peace from thereon.

Now, let us say you are looking for a pre-owned car and approach a car-trading vendor or a dealership. It is the same procedure, you pay some amount in order to take home the car you liked. So, why is it so unacceptable to pay a mere Rs. 50 for a car that you would take home? There have been a lot of users/buyers out there who have had successfull transactions through our portal and they were more than eager to pay this petty amount which would help them come to a purchase decision.

It is acceptable to pay dealers/car-trading vendor quite an attractive package, but it pinches to shell out Rs. 50 for a car on a portal? Well, it is a personal belief and we can only hope that you change your decision and views towards our portal.

Coming to the topic of the posts in forum. The concept of having such user titles has been appreciated by everyone and has encouraged a lot of contributors. Infact, the very idea was shot off by one of our users himself! If having a title like "Legend" or "Bestseller" along with the user's name helps and excites the user, what's the harm in it? But then again, this is purely a personal opinion, and you are entitled to yours.

I completely agree that some people might just get tempted due to this and might post empty or bogus posts. We do our best to take care of such posts, but sometimes we might skip some due to certain reasons. But thanks again, to bring this to fore. We will surely up our game henceforth.

Best regards,

Just one more bit here - please create a seperate thread to discuss such issues. This one was talking about the Swift and its spoiler, so it is not the right place to publicise this issue. Thanks!

1. 2 mail s tht u agree u got , wel ther hs bn no respons til date.
2. Abt brokerage prt, Ashish, in business terms its knwn as success fee, ther is no such thng as pre success fee or is ther?
3. The qustion is nt abt ‘mere’, the qustion here is abt  logic.Explanation of ‘mere’ wil take up quite a while, so lets leav tht fr a focused discussion. Ther hav ben a lot of transactions, wel good luck to u. If the aud hs to try so hard to convince u abt wots logical, thn mayb u r rght al the way & need no logical feedback. Btw, witout soundin 2 condescending, let me tell u, whn some1 takes so much effort 2 go in detail & writ, he mstly means wel, if it wsn’t, ther r less effortful ways 2 create silly situations.
4. Rs 50 for a car? r u sure? If tht’s the case thn I wudn’t hav any prob right? u r chargin 2 even consider the car, witout havin any detail hw do you thnk any1 is goin 2 buy one? Does anyone buy the first pre owned car that they hav seen? So obviously wot u r chargin is nt success fee, u charging 4 the intent of buying, whch is the least to say discouraging & makes for ridiculous business sense.
5. Well if u take users ideas so seriously, thn lets see if u take mine so seriously. Ths is as per yr statement n<
   
   

5 (contd)nt mine. Ths is also a serious user feedback.

6 Good luck to u, I wsh u well for the portal, I will surely be back when it improves its policies. Your win is a win for me, since I am also incharge for a few B to B & B to C portals.

about a seperate thread. well Ashish, I would have done that in the start, but pls understand the frustration as getting no response for quite some time after sending mails and requests. The first response was out of sheer irritation. When I realized after so many contributions that the business logic used wasn’t correct and I dint want further updates and I couldn’t even get you to do that, I had to take this route.

Keep the faith.

Madjack, we apologize for not able to reply your mails.



As far as charging a seller is concerned, the idea is well proven and successful. Idea of charging a buyer might be new but trust us, it's working. Yes, we don't guarantee a success here but availability of more than 10,000 cars under one roof (most of them have seller details visible) makes it almost a success.



Generally you pay 1% of deal cost as brokerage happily. If we consider 3 lakh as average used car price in India, you pay 3,000 rupees of brokerage. CarWale charges 50 rupees per car. Though this is not a success fee but in the real world the success fee is approximately 60 times more than CarWale's pre-success fee. Even if you have to pay for 10 cars (in the worst case), you are still saving 2500 rupees. We call almost every car seller to verify his/her details, then we expire the listing in 30 days so that buyers get the up-to-date information. This all gives us the strength to try such pre-success fee system.

Madjack, Indian Automotive Industry is not thal matured as of now, one has to try anything that comes in mind. It might sound weired but at last this is the customer who is getting benefitted.

We honor our visitors' opinions but since survival is at stake here, we might not do much but to say sorry.
