   As for these, I have some rules I follow to be responsible for that   
   list.  First I need a complaint (what you have here) but preferably,   
   I'd like to see someone who's actually bought something.... because   
   online verses in person items (seeing them that is) is quite different   
   sometimes.   
      
   Second, I look at the people and items.  From there I determine if   
   there's anything I can definitely agree with, with no hesitation.  If   
   not, I don't do anything except research a little about them for other   
   complaints.  If some, I will put them on the watch list.  If not, I'll   
   file their name in my saves and wait for a complaint.   
      
   If the items I determine to be bad, I will research the person...   
   check for things like people complaining on other sites, bad feedback,   
   changing of ID's, and sometimes I go further and email them as a   
   customer to see where they got the items and I ask other info (COA's,   
   how long they've been selling, where they are etc).   If stuff doesn't   
   jive, I will without another complaint, immediately put them on the   
   watch list with them being upgraded with another complaint comes in.   
      
   As for complaints coming in, I have to have verified email addresses   
   etc.  I will not get a complaint say from you and then a couple days   
   later get another one in from a hotmail, yahoo gmail or some odd   
   account that I can't Google and find out who they are.  The rationale   
   for that is because some people are angry and want to get back at   
   people.   
      
   Last I looked, this is a country where people are innocent until   
   proven guilty.  That watch list is kind of like the trial.... you are   
   shown for a potential criminal and in most cases probably are, but   
   we've just not gotten the positive evidence yet.  SOLID proof.  Not   
   just all circumstantial.  Now I will add people for circumstantial...   
   because on the net it's all you can do.  But it has to be SEVERAL   
   factors to be on there.  Not just a complaint.
