Good Companies and Private Traders

Hi mate,
In theory its a good idea, but in practice I'm not so sure.
For a start, people could just completely ruin someone's reputation because they had a misunderstanding or a bad experience, when really they're a trustworthy seller.
You know, if someone has a death in the family or some sh!t like that, they might have some impatient {bleep} blackballing their name.

Secondly, you seem to get this 'stooging', where people seem to only post on threads to recommend a seller. Look up DaveM's posts for an example of this.

Oh, there definitely IS value in the idea. I wasn't trying to totally poo-poo the concept.
Its just that we have to be careful, is all.
I've sold a few bits to people on here in the past, and they've been happy so far. I'd certainly appreciate the plaudits. Plus I'd buy from Redrumloa without hesitation.
