I remember this topic came up sometime a while ago and the community was torn apart it really felt like it was 50/50 so it was never implemented. Well... we are at very different times now, new markets, old vendors leaving and new ones joining, tons of exit/selective scamming due to market exit scams, etc.
From what I can tell almost every other major sub requires pictures (see r/xanaxcartel ). I don't see why the same standard shouldn't be put in place here. Everyone has a smart phone there's reason you can't snap a quick picture of whatever you ordered to go along with a review. I mean if you are taking the time to review something then you are pushing the vendors authenticity, what's more authentic than a picture?
Let's weed out any shills and provide quality reviews that even if the details are lacking it will be subsistuted with a picture.
"A picture is worth a thousand words"
EDIT: Everyone saying how vendors could just post pictures of their own product in the review, you are entirely correct. But there are a few reasons that would be a good thing, first it would deter even 1 out of 100 shills, next it would force that vendor to actually HAVE a product to sell. As it is vendors could pay the $200 vendor bond, buy a bunch from himself, make a bunch of reviews on here and make bank but all along have no product whatsoever. Its a stretch but believe me it happens.
Not to mention it would deter the malicious shill who is just a random joe coming here to try to fuck some people over for the fun of it.
Adding pictures wouldn't fix ALL of over problems but it would definitely be a step in the right direction.
It's called opsec.
Some people don't have the means or knowledge to take (and completely erase a picture with no trace), or upload one safely.
Pretty rude to force people into doing something that could fuck them over.
They are nice enough to do a review. Don't be dick
