if it is indeed true that oDesk does not allow replies to feedback after 14 days, and i try to understand the logic behind it, i think that measure was put in place to prevent "revenge replies." you see, what i don't understand is why you didn't give feedback immediately after the contract was closed. i know, you didn't bother "in the interest of good service and good reputation." but then you go on to say:
[quote]Odesk would say, they trust that both parties would describe their HONEST experience through the feedback system... [/quote]
if you ask me, you're at fault here yourself, you weren't exactly being honest either.
i mean, why wait for 14 days, why wait for his feedback for you to appear? i get the feeling you wanted to see if the client's feedback was bad first, so you could finally complain. sounds downright sneaky... and dishonest.
