Aust Trading!  ;-)

 MH> 3 Bad trader warnings ARE on-topic provided they are not libilous 

Difficult.  While I like them (I note all bad traders and I am very
reluctant to do business with them in the future), there is a distinct
possibility for abuse and mistakes.  Better to leave this one out of any
echo guidelines.

 MH  4 Three strike and you are out

Yep.

I would also like to see a ban on the "You are too expensive, I've
seen  for $xx".  It is up to the buyer to
obtain the best price.
