This is a tricky subject. As much as I like to out scammers and fraudsters we have to be careful. There are 2 sides to every story. I don't think there will be a place on the board (specifically) to do that, as it would be board sponsored and quite honestly, I don't want that liability. I don't mind folks saying what they want to, and I think it's actually great to out the scoundrels, I just don't want to be responsible vis a vis the board. When I have all of the facts I will even out scammers.....but we do have to remember we are legally liable for what we say and do on the board. I hope this makes sense....We live in a very litigious society.

A lot of posters come on the board and are too quick to cry fraud, when the matter at hand may eventually get resolved. I have some mixed feelings about these threads. It's great to protect buyers from potential trouble, but it's equally bad to call somebody a crook before all the facts are out.
