    In an environment where the platforms are trying to get lenders (that's us!) to invest in loans, it's not surprising that the platform operators don't go out of their way to point out all the risks in any loan. We all, individually, have to consider each loan so it's useful to hear the views of other potential investors and to share research, which is why the P2P forum has such a useful role. If there are key individuals on the forum with a bias towards one particular platform, that's a potential problem. But if it increases the critical attention focussed on competitor platforms, then that assists me when I am considering any loan offering from those competitor platforms. Only if it's a loan from the "favourite" platform might I be misled, and if the bias is obvious I can exercise greater caution.

    But then what do I know? I'm just some anonymous guy on the internet....
