This is a very good question that has been asked several times in the past and is much needed at this time. In the past the answer has been no. You may e-mail the mods and ask them. Having a specific bad trader forum creates liability. There are traders here that keep records and let others know when someone has a history of being a bad trader. Sometimes these are nonchalant hints. Sometimes these can be beaten in the ground and others still don't get it. Lately it seems bad traders are receiving favorable support from traders that don't know the facts. These traders are poo pooing the ones trying to look out for others which have saved many from being victims of bad traders. The good traders looking out for others out of the kindness of their heart are getting slapped in the face by the traders that defend known bad traders and the traders that continue to trade with known bad traders?! ALL good traders are getting slapped in the face by the traders that defend known bad traders and the traders that continue to trade with known bad traders. Hence, some are slapping themselves in the face. You may consider subscribing to the Trader Alert Service at blanton19@hotmail.com 1|1|Well Said|STEVE|STEVBOLT@WMIS.NET|07:41:36|07/02/2011|

Please leave feedback for me under STEVE I opened a feedback link April 2011 2|1|Setting up the feedback boards years back was the best solution to the dilemna of liability of having a bad traders forum.....if appropriate feedback were left instead of long, drawn out posts (which eventually disappear into cyberspace because of the limited cache space for some of the busier boards), AND if people would actually read a trader's feedback before proceeding with a trade, the 'system' would work just fine. M, what you wrote was also spot on....but for every harsh comment I've had over the years on the board or in email for trying to keep the good traders here informed, I've had dozens more emails or comments thanking me for the info I am able to provide...|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|07:56:21|07/02/2011|

Smile... it makes people wonder what you're up to!
Please identify yourself in 1st email w/name/username. Due to recent problem trades, if I haven't traded w/you before, I will probably require you send your end 1st or I'll need LEGIT trade references/feedback. I will be happy to provide the same. IF you plan to hold your end til you've received mine, I will need to know that IMMEDIATELY, BEFORE trade is finalized.

Thanks zombietoo and saint for clarification! I thought maybe a forum would help cut some of the bickering on the trade board. I didn't realize there was liability to consider.
Leaving negative feedback has always been difficult for me, but I have done it a few times. I try to give the benefit of the doubt. Through the years, I have seen a few with glowing feedback and from my experience with them when I was naive, I wouldn't trade with them for anything now.
Unfortunately, I won't trade with anyone new or without feedback unless I can find someone that has had a positive experience with them. There are some wonderful traders on this board that have made me feel welcome in asking for references.
Many thanks to all the wonderful traders I have met here and those that are watching out for us!

I wish a feedback page was required when you sign up here....it seems like it would eliminate a lot of problems.
I for one have a terrible memory and would like to just be able to quickly check a person's feedback. I used to keep records, but now don't seem to have the time for it....I am very thankful for the people that do keep records and can give me a heads up.
