Lately I've been seeing A LOT of Fake Positive Feedback, from the newer members to the most trusted member on this site.
I believe in order to stop fake feedback, we should have some sort of requirement before you can actually leave feedback.
Maybe something like the following?:
Feedback can only be left when a user reaches X amount of posts.
Feedback can only be left when a user reaches X amount of time spent on the forums
If a user has under X amount of posts, they must send in proof of a legit transaction happening when leaving feedback, a member of staff will then look at the evidence before allowing the feedback to go through successfully.
We have requirements to use the Market section, so why not this? When this is so closely related to the market section...

I've also seen a lot of NEGATIVE FALSE feedback being distributed by trolls lately, I've had 3 so far... They've given reasons such as "your a wanker".
I think if NEGATIVE feedback is being given, you MUST submit some sort of proof and reasoning, a member of staff will then look at the evidence provided, when they've reviewed this and they believe it to be true, THEN and only then can the feedback be allowed.
I'm sure there is plenty of un-noticed false feedback on the forums, and I believe adding some sort of requirement in order to add feedback would decrease the amount of fake feedback actually being left.
Your feelings?
