victimized by a scam seller or buyer because feedback was promptly left warning
me about the scam. For example, I have on more than one occasion NOT placed a
contemplated order with newish seller after reading one or more feedbacks from
reputable members I trust essentially saying "NSS filed", where that seller later
went on to be banned for pulling multiple scams. If this feature existed back
then, I would probably have placed my order and joined a long list of victims.
Just think how many MORE scams these sellers could pull if they have an additional
two more weeks to do so without getting any feedback warning others about them.
Furthermore, as a seller, I decline to accept orders from any buyers with a feedback
rating of less than zero. This has certainly prevented some problem buyers from
placing orders with me. But again, if this feature existed back then, some of
those problem buyers would have been able to place orders with me - orders which
would have resulted in further NPBs, wasted time or worse.
I still think this suggestion is throwing the baby out with the bath water. Not
all feedback left while an NSS/NPB problem is pending is bad or retaliatory.
And, as noted above, some of that feedback can serve a very useful public purpose
and prevent others from being scammed.
The forum has only limited usefulness in warning others about possible scams.
Mainly because the forum is read by only a very tiny percentage of the BrickLink
membership.

We could use my suggestion combined with a previously suggested one, in the FB
profile, show how many NPB's or NSS's are currently pending. If does not affect
the "in your face" FB of the buyer or seller, but it can be seen by all.

| I suggest the system does not allow ANY FB to be left by buyer or seller once
a NSS or NPB is filed. Only once the NSS or NPB is completed, or after 1 month,
whatever comes first, FB can be left.
This will prevent a buyer from leaving a retaliatory FB after filing of NPB while
it is still pending, or a seller from retaliating with a neg FB once NSS is filed.
All existing rules regarding FB remain in place.
