I mentioned this case in another forum thread but I wanted to create a separate thread since it now involves not just me, one other reputable vendor. (HumboldtsFinest) Details provided in link:
So a few of us vendors (2 including myself that I know of) have sold to a buyer who goes by the alias "justfun" (Troller/LE), and was subsequently given several 1/5 feedbacks with literally "busted" on one and "cops involved" on the second simply written with no other details. I'm not sure what other feedback combinations were used in other vendors' feedbacks, but HumboldtsFinest and I both concur that they originated from "JUSTFUN" as we both have sold to him. Fortunately, it doesn't seem like buyers are discouraged of these feedback, but the feedbacks can build some unnecessary paranoia for people like you looking for trusted vendors.
So my question is, any one else trolled by JUSTFUN so that we can together learn from this incident to further improve SR's robustness and also for peace of mind? The question I would love answered is, "is this LE activity," or the work of troller/competitor or what not?
Sincerely,
LucyMcgee

The SR mods should definitely fix the issue of your feedback score being falsely screwed over. It's pieces of trash like 'Justfun', that 'cause many good intentioned, quality vendors to become bitter 'Finalize Early or else', types..rather quickly...or even worse.. Leave the SR all together.
Not sure whether it was LE, a scammer, or...simply a mentally challenged mouth breather that got nervous after placing the order(s)...Regardless, none of them are welcome on the SR and the SR mods need to fix this for the well proven vendors that had their feedback scores effected as a result (which are relied on heavily here)...

I had to read this like 3 times to understand what you meant.. lol. That sucks though, I guess every system has its weaknesses though...

Not a seller, but i noticed something strange and similar a few days ago on a vendor's page.
1 of 5 2 days in jail, customs at my house! :( kinda shity packing? :-) 19 days item
The item is 1gr of weed which makes it even more suspicious. Also the smiley at the end !

No word from DPR or vendor support as of late. I figured they'd be on top of this. We'll just have to wait a little longer.
