As far as I can see there is absolutely no good reason to promote these operations. If they want to work to earn customers they can do so themselves without you creating a random list which will likely end up simply being a collection of scams with one or two legitimate services.
Each one should have it's own thread where they can work to prove themselves as not being ponzis. The legit ones will fare well enough under scrutiny and the fraudulent scams will quickly be exposed as such.
By all means, please explain why the bold paragraph isn't a reasonable resolution and, please, don't get all pissy about an issue being made out of people promoting services which are extremely high risk of scamming. I delete ratings where users cooperate and seek to resolve the problem. Simply calling for the choir of the usual suspects to begin their poo-flinging while they pretend like they don't have an ulterior motive for complaining about me shutting their shit down isn't going to solve anything.
Why promote them when you yourself aren't sure, whether they're safe or not?
^^^This.
As bad as things are I still believe there needs to be a separation from accuser being the judge and jury as well.
You can cut the way you see trust many ways,for me I see it as extortion to make people submit to the thumb or face potential damage to their account.
Could we not set up a mediator for passing judgement,might help address the issue of fairness.
Lot of these accounts are newbies just starting out so I hate this to be one of their first dealings with the forum.
