I think the "don't buy from me" moniker is redundant and disheartening. Anybody buying on this site should have read the rules and they pretty clearly state that vendors and manufacturers are the approved sellers, so anyone not displaying a placard that indicates one of those are not endorsed by the site to sell.
I feel like I've been given the dunce hat and sat in the corner pre-emptively.

No problem with the message, but the wording is for sure a unlucky one, for sensible people* this may sound somewhat dishonorable. Also all experience shows that such things do not deter anybody with bad intentions but tend to irk the honest ones.

I like the fact you are given a title status of do not buy from me, it makes it clear who are sellers & manufacturers. Any transactions done with a person who has the do not buy from me, is clearly at your own risk and trust.
Besides I look past that to, how long a person has had their account. Are they a resident or member, then what activity they have on here. The open nature of the profiles on here to view that info, can help in trusting a person. The way I see it is we are all friendly strangers mostly.
Then there is the chemistry aspect, people with little to no experience would be completely humiliated on other sites. Just for asking questions beyond their abilities, on here it is far more forgiving and about safety, education and not ostracizing a person who is asking questions.
