Bad sellers on the sites

In my own experience we had one such thread that comes to mind. A member shared his horror story, and then others did about that same guy. By the time it was done, 172 other members had chimed in with their own!!!!!

That thread got ... deleted. The reasons for that decision escape all rational thought far as I'm concerned.

I agree 100%. It's almost as if the powers that be want to protect the "bad guys". I'd like to think that's not the case, but I , like you have searched high and low for that thread. It's flat gone. It's too bad that it's more important to make the site "look good" than to protect good, contributing members.
