People need to realize that when they post a "bad guy" thread, it's taken very seriously. Arbitration by peers is what happens here, whether you want it or not. It's in the best interest of all parties, as most people who post in these threads are neutral, and can decide fairly who is responsible in a "bad guy" thread.
Evidence, such as photographs and transcripts of conversation between buyer and seller are expected in "bad guy" threads, as such a thread is considered a black mark on a seller's reputation. Otherwise anyone could make a thread and harm somebody's reputation, even if it was untrue.
In the reptile community, your reputation is one of your most important assets. That is why these threads are treated so seriously.
