Should We Add A 'Scammers' Section To GWW?

The legal ramifications are I think something a lawyer would have to carefully weigh before cosnidering such a program. While the intent is admirable it is frought with danger simply because those posting are emotional and not objective. Specially if you feel you have been wronged.

Free flow of information and warnings are needed, but as long as there are posters who feed on drama like Maxpower, then you can expect a great deal of false information and drama that is unnecessary or relevent. Which defeats the entire purpose of the forum itself.

Frankly, the way Lee has handled most of these instances seems to work out, without the need for a separate forum and while it would be nice to have, a simple search of the forum can lead to past postings.

The real issue is to give posters the freedom of posting without the slugging matches that ensue. No separate forum will do that. Address that aspect and then you can easily achieve a more open arena for discussion free from the crapola and without the need of private forums or special forums.

if model X is paid to perform a modeling service and fails to comply with contract i don't foresee a problem reporting that he/she is in breach of contract. (if you are more comfortable having a lawyer post in "legal-jargon" then do so)
agreed! , "misdealings" are sometimes "resolved" posting a report will make others aware (buyer beware) and/or prompt an individual/company to take action in correcting this problem. (be very sure of your facts and post only the problem you encountered)
agreed! , the atypical "sandbox" fights are going to occur but i'm sure we all know the difference between "just" and "unjust" and maybe shed some knowledge/direction in resolving the problem ourselves. (dude! , you didn't get it in writing! , your screwed!)
and before i write anymore (i know you all are just hanging on every word that comes out of my keyboard!) the best person to answer this question would be someone in the legal field. (i should have either become a lawyer or an automotive mechanic , the fields are very lucrative!)
