<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Prime Mover, post: 1496530, member: 38783&quot;]By allowing any member to post something for sale, yet not allowing an easy system for that sale/seller to be rated/judged, you are facilitating the &quot;burning&quot; by not showing possibly relevant, pertinent information that very well may contribute to the decision whether to deal with the person or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>You are essentially allowing someone to put a potted Sumac tree out in your yard, with a sign that says &quot;touch me&quot;, and then putting your fingers in your ears, closing your eyes and going &quot;NANANANANANA&quot; to tune the world out.&nbsp; Passersby may touch it, or may be afraid since they know &quot;some sumac is dangerous&quot;, but don&#039;t know which variety, and don&#039;t know how to tell the difference between the two.&nbsp; If you were to put a piece of paper and a pencil on a table next to it, people could say &quot;I touched it and I don&#039;t itch&quot;, and &quot;poison ones have fur and berries&quot;, and then the person standing there could say to themselves &quot;ok, they didn&#039;t get itchy, and this has no berries, this may be the non-poisonous one, I can touch it&quot;.&nbsp; Or, they could say &quot;you know, even though he was fine and it looks proper, I still might not go for it&quot;, and walk on by.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, at least there&#039;s something next to it helping them make a _more informed decision_ based upon all the information they had available at the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whether you trust someone to write a proper, correct review is irrelevant.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you are only allowing one side of the story to be presented, you are putting everyone at a disadvantage.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is no arguing that the decision to buy is ultimately that of the buyer, and they must deal with whatever consequences that come of that decision.&nbsp; But let the buyer have as much information as possible to make that decision for themselves.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
