In my experience, it takes only one bad review to really ruin someones feedback, no matter how many positive reviews they post via alias. Thus, the system works.

Search for bad buyer/seller, I made a comprehensive list a year ago.

thats why-
post count was made
karma was made
friends was made
feedback was made
how long on ns (profile) was made
symbols after username was made
color of name was made.........

let me put it this way. you are less likely to be scammed by someone who has 2345 posts, 31,345 karma, lots of friends who also have the person as a friend too, a long list of good feedback, member since 2005, bling coin aftertheir username. it means they are dedicated to skiing AND this website and they wont rip you off. as for someone with 3 posts, 12 karma, 0 friends, no feedback, member for a week, no symbol, with a blue name. not saying they wont be legit but it is less likely.

the whole fake feedback thing is such bullshit, anyone who does that should be perma banned. just the other day i was looking at a supposed legit members feedback to find two posts he gave to himself off of aliases he made the same day, then of course never logged on to those accounts again. it now turns out that this guy might be trying to dick somebody in BST.

ive had just about my fill of BST and dealing with people, and their parents, their. its a joke

Why don't we find a way to do the transactions through Newschoolers with like a form or something you have to fill out before you make trades/sales with your paypal account and personal information so the other person will have all the needed info to track you down if you are a scammer.

why would the buyer give fake info.... the seller would input all fake info... get his money then bounce. this is why you use paypal. refute it if you never get a confirmed delivery

your actually completely wrong. I have seen about 3 to 4 scammers on this website with over 10,000 karma and over 2,000 posts. Karma is a bitch, and doesnt do shit. posts mean nothing, and neither do friends.
