I leave a couple of feedbacks, few and far between, but have only been contacted to remove a negative feedback I left. A request which I declined by the way.
I understand members being contacted about asking to have negative feedback removed but being driven to such a state that they are having issues dealing with a neutral tag, that is highly unusual.
It's best to give feedbacks within the limit you can manage and review periodically.
Not necessarily because I would counter that point of view with another view that is when an appropriate feedback is left, the giver does not have any obligation to periodically review them. It might be considered good practice if the one leaving feedback reviewed them periodically without compulsion but they could prefer to not and there is nothing wrong with it.
I agree it's a definite improvement, but it's perplexing why people would be asking JG to remove neutrals (I haven't finished reading this thread, but I get the sense that it somehow matters to one or more bounty managers).
Perplexing is the apt word. Royse777 employed campaign participants knowing they had neutral feedback then encouraged them to try to have them removed.
JollyGood, I damn well know you aren't asking for advice as to what to do, but I'm just going to say that any PM I got like that would be deleted in seconds with no reply, and I'd also add the member to my PM ignore list (a massive, massive compilation of morons at this point).
Though I understand your angle on this type of situation, I think it would be inappropriate to dismiss a PM entirely because unless the request is reviewed it would impossible to know whether it should be revised or removed. For example, if a PM was received asking for neutral/negative trust to be removed but the member had multiple tags (and/or a dubious history) I would probably follow your advice by adding to my PM ignore list otherwise there is a chance the feedback should be revised after reviewing.
I get the impression bounty managers barely give a shit if their participants have genuine negative trust much less a neutral for any reason.
Let 'em eat shit for the holidays.
Maybe there is a distinction made by managers between bounties and campaigns. I have known campaign managers to ignore negative and neutral tags and take on participants based on their posting or even other reasons. I hardly ever frequent bounty threads but from what I recall they were full of newbies (probably with many alt-accounts) trying to maximise anything they could earn.
It is not right for a campaign manager to solicit on behalf of a user who was left a neutral tag.
This is true, I think unless there are exceptional circumstances even the member that received the feedback should not be asking for the feedback to be revised. In this case, the campaign manager (Royse777) did not approach me directly but rather asked the members to do so instead.
I think neutral tag doesn't prevent anyone from joining a campaign, rather it will help the hiring manager to make the right selection of users to be accepted.
That is part of what campaign managers do when assessing which members to hire and which to reject.
I might look like a pessimistic person, but in most cases, they're just trying to cover their tracks [especially if their so-called campaign manager is somewhat new] and with regard to your question, I haven't received such PMs in recent months [usually, they either stop using their accounts (e.g. rinse and repeat) or leave retaliatory feedback, but there are also a few that continue their operations as if nothing happened].
The problem with accounts is that they take time to build up in order to be able to receive a $60+ weekly income via signature campaigns therefore there is a desire to try to get any sort of criticism (either neutral or negative) removed. If they cannot do that then sure they will probably go down the retaliatory route by giving revenge feedback and troll around for a while before getting bored and concentrating no their other farmed accounts.

I wanted to reply to the remaining members in this post but the comments have been very constructive and I appreciate them, therefore I will reply further in the next post.
