Can you elaborate on that? Not quite sure what you mean.

What features are you requesting?

I think i know what he means and i see the good intentions of it, but i see some bad from it. He wants user names next to the reviews to see who bought what and their stats/register date. While I see how this would stop the "feedback scam" he is talking about. It also kinda takes a step back on the anonymous part as then LE could see who the big buyers are and try to target them, not sure how they would, but im sure users dont want other users to see their name next to 1k MDMA on a review.

I think a nice way to solve this fake fb problem, without identifying users, is to mention the % of money the user has spent on this seller. A 100% percent would mean the buyer has only purchased from this seller, meaning a new buyer or fake account, but anyway giving less weight to their feedback.

Quite a good idea if you ask me! At the same time something needs to be done about scamming buyers also!

Well it's up to you to propose something , dont't know if anyone's listening though  ;D
Requiring FE for new buyers (which is fine by me, I did it on my first 2 orders for small listings) or tracked shipping should take care of most scammers right? I 'd like to know how often is scamming from not new buyers?

I'd give certain stats at the time of purchase. When leaving feedback his stats have changed and the user is not identifiable anymore (almost). Good enough for 99% of the vendors to not find out.

"some bad" resulting out of a "fixed" issue doesn't seem to stop SR! :P Maybe even encourages them ;D

I'm happy to let most of my customers stay in escrow INCLUDING first time buyers. It's the hardcore veterans to watch out for because they know the tricks of the trade and know how much weight their opinions hold.
