Hi. Maybe this will be controversial, but I think buyers should have the ability to blacklist or hide sellers from view. I'm sorry, but there are some vendors I will NEVER do business with. I've read their profiles (not gonna name names) and they explicitly don't give a fuck or meet my standards. Is this a possibility?
-
Why? Do they offend you so much you don't want to see their offers? There are plenty of sellers I would never do business with, but I have never felt the need to hide them from view.

Why should I have to walk through Wal-Mart to get to Target? I'm trying to shop, here. If I could hide the garbage vendors, then only the good stuff will be right in front of me. Why can sellers block me but not vice versa? Some of these guys charge triple of what other vendors charge then put in their description "don't like it? go fuck yourself"... Yeah, give me the opportunity and I'll happily fuck off to other vendors that have a better attitude.

Then you have cannabis vendors who post 87 different listings for the same strain, then fail to even mail it if you place an order...
Yes, we need to ability to ignore vendors.

Exactly, its really annoying when i'm browsing to see a bunch of different listings from vendors i'll probably never will do business with. It's not a big deal, but it would make SR that much better if this was implemented. Even the ability to see what all of your bookmarked vendors are selling only would be great.

Totally agree...especially the part about being able to see listings from only bookmarked vendors.

Great idea! I would be happy with this solution.

+1 on that, I'd really love it.
Only bookmarked vendors would be great also.

Yes they offend me, because I/other guys in review threads were scammed by them. Since they are selectively scamming, no one here really gives a shit. Which in turn implies that this kind of behavior is tolerated. The speed listings currently have 36 entries from which about 30 are complete rip-offs.
edit: the selectivity of the scam here being that they sell legit drugs like mdma, but their speed is is just bunk.

I totally agree. SR seems to be over tolerant of scammers and shitty vendors, and are slow to shut a guy down that starts scamming.
The downside for SR to only seeing bookmarked vendors is that this places new vendors in even more of a competitive disadvantage than they already are. Their struggle for visibility is already going to be hampered by appearing at the bottom of the list where preventing a great deal more buyer traffic from bookmark insularity would make it all the more difficult to get off the ground.
Sure, they should be in the forums promoting their product anyway but only a small minority of SR buyers actually bother with the forums at all.
Because of this, I agree with the buyer 'blacklist' option but not with limiting to only bookmarked vendors.
-
I think that would tend to make it very hard for new vendors to get established. Why would anyone pay for an account if most of the customers will only look at listings from their favorites? It isn't that hard to skip over the ones you don't like.

I think sellers should ahve the ability to block buyers.
