BrianYes, people do need to solve disputes between one another, but this forum has leverage which can be used in beneficial ways. A list, forum, or similar device would not prevent cheating, but it would reduce it. People could choose to heed or ignore it--that is their choice, and they would do so perhaps at their own risk. Perhaps even just a more "formal" way of handling dishonest people on the current forum?
I may be wrong, but I think it would be good to have a resource that I could check (besides the obviously imperfect eBay feedback system) before pulling the trigger on a big deal with someone I don't know on eBay, etc. How that could be done-I don't know--but this dilemma will worsen with time, not improve.
