Don't you think we should make some decisions independently but based on basics and commonsense. For example, if I know a site has a source that I am certain about (i.e. that they are not good), then I would prefer to avoid the site and divert my time and energy elsewhere. That said, if I come to know about a site from others (as is the case in the one I have in mind and it is not MS nor is it CM) and if I go into reading it with some level of trust only to find some issue with it later, I feel conflicted then - should I continue reading the 'good' and leave the 'bad'... or should I leave it altogether after a message to the editor to inform them - and stay away until they make changes. I certainly do not feel comfortable linking to the site anymore and I haven't read from it since. As a layperson, it is probably better practice to just avoid sites that showcases anything you know to be bad.
