Please don't get me wrong.
There's another thread here that suggested revealing people's particulars and "blacklist" them...
Back to the point on rating.
Rating, IMO, may not be worth the effort. People can change nick right? We impose on the moderators to do "extra" for something that does not really support the interest of this forum? Let's be focused on our objectives here in this forum. It is already good enough that a "Pasar Malam" sub-forum has been created for our convenience. Sure, if it happened to me, I'll be pissed. But who to blame? We'll just have to be careful ourselves, maybe demand for payment before handing over the stuff. For the seller, maybe make it a point to provide photos and honest description of the goods etc...
So far, the forum has given me the impression that the moderators are men of integrity, honest in trying to advance this hobby. Let's keep it this way. If you really want to buy/sell things seriously, do it at other auction sites, they have good systems. Let's not impose on the moderators, or dilute the spirit of this forum by opening up an avenue for "finger pointing"....
Just my objective opinion....no hard feelings, only for honest debate.
