How about this idea for BP? Please give input.

I don't care whether you vote for this thread or not, but please give input. I've now been scammed by 2 members of BP, and know of others that have also been scammed. I've also received some suggestions from Vikram, Tim W and others about starting a "Hall of Shame" or at least a forum where we may air our shaftings and warn others of those jerks, before they become repeat offenders. The jerks would be free to dispute the Facts presented, or hopefully disappear into the night. It might help some BP members avoid losing money they can't afford to lose.
I've had several PMs from others about this same subject. We need to police our own. Please reply in some fashion to let your interest in this be known. Thanks. Rich.

Instead of publicly stating bad experiences with another member ( which is subject to abuse), we can have a link in the profile where we can list all the other BP members that we have done business with.

Any BP member who wishes to do business with an unknown member can then check to see who all that person has done business with in the past and send a PM request for experience / recommendation and then decide how to proceed.

This will allow us to keep tabs on people without violating anyone's privacy rights or subjecting someone to potential defamation or revenge.
