WHY? Everytime it boils down to 'If I...'. This isn't about helping you out when researching the clients, it's about keeping the community clean and
people happy.

What if she had multiple bad ratings? Are you going to contact each one to find out the full story from each?

What if the person in question is innocent? How will we know who is being truthful and who isn't? People can be persuasive and could quite easily make an innocent person look guilty.

If we weren't bothered and didn't feel like moderating do you really think I'd take the time to respond to you?

At the end of the day we've made it clear that the threads will be deleted. I'm not going to keep on repeating myself, if you don't like it then that's your problem. Perhaps you should start looking for different ways other than a Google search to find out whether a client is trustworthy or not.
