You clearly do not understand how feedback is left ...What I mean by that is if you deal with a vendor that has been here for more then 3 months and has over 300 transactions and is in the top 20% then it is IMPOSSIBLE to fake feedback!! IMPOSSIBLE! And even if they created an account and "bought something" form themselves it would be a HUGE waste of time and would mean very little to their overall score.. Do you understand? Now if you are talking about a vendor that has been here for 3 weeks with 8 feed backs and is in the top 90% then YES those type of vendors can fake feedback...but who in the world is buying from them anyways??? So like I said...it is a stupid waste of time to look for fake feedback...you will not find fake feedback on a vendor that has over 300 trans feedback score.actions that is in the top 20% and has a 100 score. As the so called fake feedback you guys keep referring to what be done from an account they control and it would be for a free item or one that cost very little as they lose 10% to SR and no vendor is going to fake feedback that cost them money. It just does not happen in today's Silk Road. It would make NO SENSE at all..NONE. So there is NO WAY fake feedback could lead you astray.. In fact in your make believe that you believe could lead someone astray...give a scenario that could happen??? Were someone could , by fake feedback, be led astray? LOL.... It can not even be done in a make believe setting! As I said... you do not understand the feedback system and rating's to understand how silly and a waste of time it would be and that you could not leave enough feedback for it to matter...let alone it would be pointless!! I believe you are coming to this conclusion because you can not see who left the feedback for the vendor..so you believe that because of this that vendors could leave fake feedback. Again this makes no sense.... And you said----- If I think they're for real, then I pay attention to what they have to say, and about what (hovering over item to find out what they got). If I'm not sure if they're for real, or there isn't enough history to tell This again makes NO SENSE!! You should not take any 1 feedback to mean anything..you take there score the 100 or the 99, the time they have been a vendor and their rankings...then you can read the feedback to get an overal opinion.. But if you are dealing with a 100 with a vendor that has been here 6+ months and is in the top 20% then you can rst assure they are legit and doing EVERYTHING right!! And then you can read their feedback and see what EVERYONE has to say...not just 1 or 2 people...Also you should read the feedback on the item that you want that they are selling...and there overall feedback...but again if you stick to top vendors there is NO CONCERN!! Also all this can be trumped with one easy thing..Get ready for it... DO NOT FE!!! It is that simple....if you do not FE..then it is IMPOSSIBLE for you to get scammed...PERIOD!!! My god...what vendors are you buying from where you need to come to the forums...look up who supports them and then look up the supporters history? You are fucking nuts!!! And you are clearly taking full advantage of what SR is all about...DRUGS!! Please tell us what you are on and who you got it from!!! How about do nothing this guy says..just go to there vendor page...and if they have a 100 and have been here for 5+ months..the more the better..and if they are in the top 20% then you can bet that every feedback is golden and you are going to be too...if you want a good laugh read what this guy does or claims he does... I will put it down here... So he looks for fake feedback...he then looks them up on the forums...then he looks up the people that support the vendor...he then looks up those peoples post to see if they are balanced and to see if they are long term users or new ones and if that does not pan out and it doe s not feel right...he then moves on to another vendor!! OMG this is INSANE!! It is insane that you believe that vendors fake their feedback! All you need to do is go to their vendor page..that's it!! The mistakes people make...and the funny thing is that it is what this guy talks about!! The mistakes are the ones that listen to the forums!! Good or bad do not listen!! Go to there page and read the feed backs! Read them all..then see how long they have been a vendor...see if they are 100 and you are golden if they are in the top 20%. With all those things....it is IMPOSSIBLE to deal with a bad vendor!! I M P O S S I B L E I hope you guys understand how silly this is and you lock this thread..
