Do your research outside of the forum, then. And even if there was something in place, new vendors would be a crapshoot.

I respectfully disagree. This isn't "the370zmarket.com". You're not putting in paypal information or anything. Nothing is stopping you from doing research on these companies outside of this site. You just want the legwork done for you.

So, you'd rather have possible user review fraud take the place of vendor fraud? Look, fraudulent vendors don't last long here. But if you just have the ability for random Joe User to enter a review, then what's to prevent troll reviews or even focused and deliberate falsifications from a rival company? And you're right, without consumers this site wouldn't last long. Neither would it last if the sponsors defraud the user base. You think AK is deliberately having his users shafted by forum sponsors?
