A poll is being done on this subject in the sponsors forum.Please vote on it so that it gets some attn and a list happens. Most of us in this hobby don't have much money and it would be a very good referense to have.Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Such a list would leave the shroomery open to lawsuits that could ruin everything. There is already a vendor list. If people don't read that before they order, I doubt they'd read the 'bad vendor' list either. I see nothing but problems coming from such a thing. RR

Agreed: Such a list would only start pissing matches, from those listed. We don't need or want pissing matches.

i think its best not to have such a list. it can get pretty nasty,then shroomery will be targeted for loss of business and such.
imagine is aload of people, just signed up(just for this specific purpose) posted a couple times, then started voting for reputable companys.
this is not a good idea. not everyone is trust worthy on the internet.

Thats funny. Everyone in this thread disagreed with the idea, so COMMON knowledge technically says its a bad thing.
Someone has an agenda.

it's obviously not a good idea to chalk a business up as being 'bad'... Unless you've got a team of lawyers or you happen to be the BBB.

yeah, but saying a vendor is bad or a scam is an opinion... I've dealt with some of these 'bad' vendors and have had great experiences... so i don't see how you can slander them and say it's fact when it simply is NOT fact.
This thread is useless, off topic and should be locked... look at your poll, 68% think it's a bad idea.

The list would be fact only. The first ppl to look at a poll in the sponsor forum is sponsors. You are a puppet.I have gotten emails in the past asking who is good and who is not. If u r a vendor it is better to not say anything than to take a side on NO. Watch and see. I know personally from info that mods have given me IN PERSON that all of the site sponsors ppl have multiple Screen names and ppl that work for them. So there goes the starting votes but I made a very long end. I will ,to the end of me, make sure that all know that any totally and not endorsing (at least some way) site be fully known and recognized. Beginers don't know the patience in this and need a thing like this, somehow.

I take serious exception to your belief that those who voted 'no' are puppets. I voted no. Does that make me a puppet?
Also, what makes you think beginners so impatient that they need a website to tell them who are the bad suppliers? It won't work anyway. Most who get scammed by bad vendors simply did an internet search and placed an order long before they even found the shroomery. Those who frequent here already know who is safe to order from. A bad vendor list is a bad idea that will only cause problems. RR
