What i understand from this policy is that we can only praise vendors but we can't say "this or that eyepiece is not good " and from now on we can't say if a vendor has bad policies on returns etc.
So only praise is good.

Most vendors are very good (the ones i have dealed with anyway).
Some out there are just out for a quick buck and dont care.
Also with this rule we cant say anymore that an department telescope is crap because there is a vendor behind it.
And how many times has been said that "nat*** geo***" scopes are no good? They are also an vendor.
No more warnings on Ebay scopes of dubius quality and dubius vendor

Just my 2 cents.
