thats why we have 10 seperate hobbyist flagging one ad for it to be automatically deleted. If you are afraid of fake hobbyist, make it so that only hobbyist with 200 post can vote.

I'm with you, as I'm sure quite a few RB brethren feel the same way. Yes, there must be some way to cut down on this practice.

I'm in agreement with that.

Errrr, you are forgetting about the rampant number of fake handles on this board. Getting 10 fake handles takes about 15 minutes. That has been the case for years so there are lots of shills at any reasonable threshold mark you might want to pick.

There is lots of "fake" crap on both sides of the equation here on RB. You just have to filter out the signal from the noise. That has always been the case. It is just worse now (than 8-9 years ago). There is no substitute for not doing research though.

You are also discounting the groups that extort providers into lower prices by threating bad reviews. Taking down their ads would be an even bigger weapon to give the extortionists. The good providers will stop advertising here if let those kinds of group become more dominant and/or effective.

RB works well because it is good for both sides: providers and customers. If fake pics works for that provider because the clueless pay ... then that is just part of hobby. RB is here so you don't have to be clueless. RB isn't a pimp service for selecting providers for you.
