Nice job spotting a lack of a rep thread as a reason to distrust him. I was afraid it would take a while before rep threads picked up steam.
I see, thank you for letting me know this. Things have changed a lot on here...such as the means by which to gain reputation. I need to rebuild up my own as well so I do not look like a scammer myself. I don't want to be cast into that lot of people.

I think it's a good and a bad idea, good because users can read them as well as search for other users...but it's also bad because people can have friends log on to boost their rep with lies. It's a grey area.
