This recently happened to me, and I have to say that it is beyond a situation where the creator banned me for a negative review. That level of censorship without oversight is just as unfair as customers leaving an unnecessarily harsh and unconstructive review. I left a negative review because the product did not work as advertised, and I explained my experience specifically so that others would know what to look for. Turns out, the point in this case was to not only silence a bad review, but mask the creator's own behavior in response to my review. The creator replied in the comment section by insulting me. I'm glad I copied and pasted the whole exchange to a notecard; I could not believe it when I saw it. Giving creators the ability to ban customers just opens the door wide for abuse, and the incentive to abuse that feature is huge. I asked a friend to see if they could see the review, and it appears as though the creator has removed the listing, she can't see it, either. I'll be curious to see if they create a new listing, thereby effectively deleting the whole exchange. Consider as well, that the rationale for allowing creators to ban customers from their land and MP sites is flawed. The basis for allowing individuals to ban others from their property in-world is not set in the context of customer service, and erring on the side of the creator, again, opens the door to abuse. There may be stupid people on both sides of this issue, but there are also genuine and constructive people on both sides of this issue. The problem is that it's the creator that gets to decide what's reasonable and what's not reasonable, and that serves only their interests, not the customer's.
