Thank you for your feedback.

DM- I put it on the forum so that people know about the company!! I had no intention of buying anything so please refrain from the sarcastic remarks, I thought the whole point was to inform the forum, however, I appologise if you did not mean it to sound like that.

Anyway, I have an idea, it maybe an obvious one, and maybe something that has been discussed before but thought I might throw it about for general discussion.

Really directed at Anthony and the Mods!

How about introducing a tab under 'quick navigation'. This could direct people to a wholesale list of known scammers.

The list would would include the company name, address, reg no, trade discription and date of proven corruption/fraudalent activity. It could be shown on a table and in running order of most fraudelant companies (much like the heat maps as produced on the London Stock Exchange) going from red to green with the spectrum of shades in between. Most fraudelant shown in dark red with companies yet to be proved but with information of dodgy activity shown further down in green.

The list could be added by any member, but owner/mod would only have permissions in order to facilitate whether a company should be placed in the red area of the table.

There could be 5 or 6 different symbols showing the type of fraudelant activity (ie credit rating, dodgy payment terms, fraudelant paperwork, non delivery etc) with a key at the bottom to show what each meant.

The table would only be available to members and if proved popular could be subscribed to with a small payment in order to pay for the set up costs later on. Who knows, people could download the list or it could be snchronised to their PCs if they wished so that they would have the most up to date information.

The various forums on new companies would still happen but reduce the replication of already answered postings on discussed companies. Mods could share the workload to place a company in the danger zone of the table.

Just an idea, could be crap but would appreciate your comments!
