Well Skip, we already have an Inquiries/Feedback section.. Isnt this what its for? To pass on info about good or bad transactions between others? It is already being used to some extent in the exact same way the BOI is used. I know if i purchase from someone (like i just did & awaiting shipment) I will post a good rep on him right here on bp.net. So why not?
People are allowed to give their opinions about others. This site is very closely moderated and when someone is obviously out of line, the situation is addressed immediately.
If this area of bp.net were to become more like the BOI it would need obvious rules. To prevent people just bashing others for no reason. This rule is already in affect. Every post is read by a moderator. How would it be any different than it is now?
Maybe a better idea would be like kingsnake.com posting rules.. Only paid members can post. Lowering the chances of scammers.
Its just very hard to grasp the fact that we may lose the BOI.
