Banned vendor list?

[holiday]

There ought to be a pinned post of banned vendors, preferably in "the research lab" | "vendor connection" section.

Links to discussion threads leading up to when/why as well would be totally awesome.

The reason I'm suggesting is one of the vendors I was considering ordering from was banned at some point, and I came across a mention. Searching for why the vendor was banned was more challenging that I would have liked, and I thought I was good at that sort of thing.

If approved, I could dig up a couple that I know of to serve as a starting point, if this helps.

Thanks!

Interestingly, none are endorsed by the site, and as you will find it is only a few endorsed by a group. It is a very individual choice.
Some are banned for marketing reasons and some that should be banned for failure to deliver are not at all. It is like NFL teams, some love one and hate others and there are fans on both sides.
A great vendor today could be crappy tomorrow and vice versa.

The list is open to all registered vendors that don't try and shill, misrepresent, or break other site specific rules to be a registered vendor.

The problem with "banning", I would assume, is it would appear to be an endorsement for those not banned.

Your best bet is to continue your research and determine who is having luck with whom.
There are dozens of posts per day about different vendors.

Good Luck!
