As already noted, 4 can get you banned, but bidders are explicitly told 4 means "Very Good." Many bidders are reasonably and rationally assuming that when they give a 4, they are giving a positive review. If bidders were told a 4 means Sub Par or Below Average, then it would be a different story. 99.99 percent of the English speaking world interprets "very good" as a compliment, a clear statement of approval. Why? Because, as evidenced by any English dictionary you pick up, that's what it means.
