I am sick and tired of reading how people saying who screwed who in threads where they should be posted at all. We need a section for complaints only.:)
EDIT
Trades Feedback / Dispute Resolution

LOL....I know, but people doen't use it like they should. I am just getting tired of seeing threads being taken over by people who have a ligit argument going on, but it doesn't have anything to do with the actual thread. There needs to be a designated spot for all of this BS. It gets rather annoying trying to filter through some of the threads on here and it only seems to be getting worse.

Good idea, then all the complaint threads are in one place and other threads aren't hijacked.

I have just proposed this idea to c0ld and pointed him to this thread, IMO it's a great idea so we keep the rest of the forum clean but have a clearly available place to check if a person we are dealing with has been involved in previous fraud.

I don't agree. I'd prefer single threads being created over time than a whole section. Not only does it affect our image as a forum but also it'd be rendered useless over time as people would just post their complaint in several threads (regarding the seller/buyer) as it regularly happens in most sections (or in the general section).

This should have been posted as a poll but it wasn't :thinking:

If it was I'd vote "no", we can post our opinion in any thread at any time here. This is not a moderated forum. :whistle:

I agree with niko and SC... If your not happy about a deal or transaction....
Then open a Thread and post your opinion...
But I think some punishment or negative feedback is required for members that
deliberately try to destroy non-complaint Threads...

Indeed Jerry.. because people usually stop when you ask them to, but then moments later they are trashing some other thread with their argument. It really isn't all that difficult to take it to the PM's or just create a new thread with the purpose of sorting out the conflict. IMO we need a stricter policy on keeping rediculous fights about unrelated things out of threads.

I think the main idea with the specific section for it would be that it would be VERY clear that conflicts in other threads are unwanted and out of place, and people would know exactly where to complain instead of trashing or creating new threads in the general, reviews, companies and B/S/T sections.
However I can see how having to create a whole section purely for fights and fraud would seem like the forum is full of scammers and hotheads.

Make a Group for people who go ripped off and why. This way you can moderate it and delete any nonsense.
