I've been in this trade for a long time (more than half my life, literally). I've never seen something so ridiculous in my life.

Someone might be troublesome, but there's no reason to block them due to trouble they might've caused in the past. Anyone with a brain should be able to produce a contract stating what they will do and how it should be done/when it should be done/etc. This completely avoids any trouble that a client can get into with you. If you outline every single aspect of the project beforehand, you save yourself time. Clients shouldn't be at fault for your lack of preparation.

I think the idea of this is in good will, however I feel that it can only harm sales and the market in MCM. It seems like something children would do in order to seem professional about it - when, much like Justis, I would consider it mild-defamation/trashy. I agree that the reputation system should be where this is handled, and any troubles worth investigation should be sent to staff. In my opinion, if a member causes so much trouble that no matter how prepared you were, you couldn't avoid the problems, they should be temporarily revoked from being able to request services.

Issues like this should be dealt with 2 different people:
  • Staff within the place of transaction (so MCM & PayPal usually);
  • The client and seller.
Obviously, this is my opinion. I don't think it's a very mature, or sensible thing to do. Seems a tad bit silly and mean to me. I've had troubles with clients and worked it out with them, even after being threatened.

Hopefully I won't be raged at for making this, but who knows? It's a forum full of Minecrafters. :)

Well said croc!

Croc is byfar one of the most reputable and experienced developers I know!

Some people completely misinterpreted this as to form monopolies and abuse new members, while your thread preaches the exact opposite.
