We have such a forum on our Dutch watchforum too. Especially here, where sellers and buyers come from all over the world, such a review board is perfect.

This feature was NOT removed because of anyone having any problems with any "high ranking" member. There is no such thing as a "high ranking" member when it comes to moderating the forum. The rules apply to everyone, there are no exceptions.alientravler said:I have to say...Very disappointed in the removal of this feature! I really did enjoy the feture and used it all the time! Just because someone has a problem with a "High Ranking" member does not constitute the total removal of the section! We all have problems from time to time with fellow forum members that may or may not need to be aired here. Granted...some "Push The Envelope" of good taste and sense but PLEASE DO NOT DO AWAY WITH THIS FEATURE!! :'(

Alientraveler. Unless you are privy to the going's on of how and why the staff make certain decisions, please don't pass of personal speculation as if it were fact.alientravler said:I have to say...Very disappointed in the removal of this feature!

this can be solved by making all bad experiences by a truly defrauded buyer(s) subject to moderator approval prior to being posted?Isthmus said:...One thing we do not want is to have the bad sellers section turn into a place to blast otherwise good members for a transaction that went south, or for members to take pot shots at others for simply reporting their experiences. THAT IS NOT WHAT SCWF IS ABOUT. We want that section to be a place to report buyers and sellers who are truly out to defraud members....
You have nailed the heart of our discussion and what we are trying to best figure out how to handle.thesharkman said:this can be solved by making all bad experiences by a truly defrauded buyer(s) subject to moderator approval prior to being posted?
there really is no need for a "good guys" area because if someone is not familar w/ a seller, don't they generally ask for references via the forum anyway? ie, "references for joe seiko please, i'm considering purchasing a watch from this seller." =)
