JAG, is sounds like all agree with you that it's a disgusting thing to do ---(it's outrageous, it's fraud!) but the heartburn is around innocent members of the forum getting pounced on if they show a bit too much enthusiasm for a reader that got a prediction right for them.
I'm not sure what the solution is---because it's true, scams ABOUND in this crazy 'psychic readings for sale' world. So, it's logical we have a 'buyer beware' mentality.
Maybe holding fire and asking a few questions first--instead of "shoot first, ask questions later"?
The problem is, it's hard to tell cuz we are all behind screens here and some one could genuinely be an enthusiast of a reader or a reader themselves or the reader's family or friends. I've been addicted to readings for several years and am male which seems rare on this site, I've been in some of my addictions once or twice offered by readers I've used, to have my readings for free if I advertise people to the reader, and the reader gets a reading with them. I declined, as I would feel partly responsible/guilty if the reading was inaccurate or ruined the person's situation, and many other obvious reasons, I think it's natural to be wary of people at first cuz many of these readers posing as customers have no morals. I think the issue is that people who like a paticular reader can get quite passionate about them sometimes and whenever some one comes on to say well hey I didn't have a great reading with this reader, there are one or two people who seem to take it personally or in their stride to keep commenting how great the reader was for them and then it doesn't make for fair or accurate reviewing, we must remember that these readers may have read for us for months or years but they don't connect to everyone and should really be viewed as business figures only, many of these readers (not all) don't mind being our friends when we are feeding them dollars and attracting customers to them, but when we aren't, they aren't so friendly then, it ruins things for the genuine readers who have good ethics
