If a seller has <50% itrader feedback, automatically close their BST thread?

[UnusualSubstance]

Title is pretty much it. I feel like if a seller has less than 50% feedback, something is very wrong & their sales thread should be automatically closed.
What do you guys think?

This would also have the added benefit of more buyers actually using the itrader feature.
I saw a guy with a 33 percent feedback rating. That's what sparked this suggestion tbh lol.

Food for thought really.

People even get negative feedback when there's a misunderstanding or someone's just trying to take someone down.
I think anyone buying from a seller with low feedback % should do some additional due diligence.
Shutting down BSTs automatically may unnecessarily add to the workload as the staff may get a lot of requests to re-open their threads and eventually they'll have to review their BSTs as well as every negative rating.

It makes sense in theory, but in practice (and because this is a black hat forum) it would almost certainly lead to competitors or people that don't like the sellers will probably create accounts and review bomb sellers to get their threads taken down.
Don't forget iTrader doesn't directly link to marketplace sales. In Marketplace 2 the review system will be based on actual sales through the marketplace.

As @NirvanaWolf said, it is up to the due diligence of buyers. We try to give as much information to potential buyers as possible so that they can make an informed decision on who to buy from, but ultimately we have to leave the choice up to them. Because of this, I know this is something that won't get implemented.

Feels kinda bad closing this since you just posted this only 10 minutes ago, but still......
