Curious if there was any way to get some sort of Buyer/Seller rating system up on DSMCentral. not sure what our program supports, maybe just a sub-forum?

Don't take my comments the wrong way. Its not an attack against you or your idea. Its just my opinion on ratings systems in general. I just don't think there is anything more fair about a ratings system than there is about accusing someone rightly or wrongly of dealing you raw. There is no way to prove who really is right or wrong, so there's no way to know if the ratings system is actually telling the truth.
Someone could rate me badly even though they didn't even participate in a transaction with me. They rated me bad just cuz they don't like me. I argue, but you the mod don't know either of us from Adam, so whose right? These are decisions a mod can't make. So you could in a sense be a lot more cautious about doing business with someone who doesn't deserve the extra cautiousness. The ratings system is subjective and based on opinion and personal honor rather than fact. That is its fatal flaw. Again, nothing personal buddy.
