What I read from your post, is that you’re ok with vendors being drowned in spit without any real way of doing anything about it…It does, however I don't see this as a bad thing as it forces less experienced users to do their due diligence or simply skip the vendor in favor of another if they aren't willing to invest the time. Both of theses will ultimately cut down on the number of people getting scammed or buying unsafe products, which is still a net positive.
I'm sure you realize internet message boards just don't work that way. It's not in their design, especially forums that were developed to have minimal moderation like this one. And while everyone should come forward with as much info as possible, alot of times people can't offer the complete picture, but know enough to know something is off. I don't want people to hold back in these situations, as long as they are sharing the info to help others in the community.
To hell with the actual truth, it’s a forum - so let’s let anarchy rule.
I’m not talking about holding back or not sharing information. I’m talking about structuring the discussion in a way that makes it easier to see the facts… But I suppose there is a good reason why some would dislike that
