Whether it is a mod, add-on, template edit or a paid service, it is up to the "consumer" to do his/her homework to make sure they are getting someone reputable.
To expect someone else to do the research and or try to hold someone else responsible from a deal or transaction that you or anyone initiated is ridiculous.
Everyone is told when installing any mod to make a back up of their site, database and what not, why? because v.org is not responsible for any errors that they might cause if you so choose to install that mod.
Same thing with paid services, there is no way we can hold v.org responsible for anything we choose to accept, initiate or install from these forums or allow someone to have access to our forums, database or someone we hire for a service.
If I see 5 people crossing a river successfully, it is up to me to ask them how they did it and what they faced in order to do it. That river's bottom could have changed from the last crossing to mine. I can't rely on past successful crossings and risk my life when I decide to cross, you can bet I will be asking as many questions as possible before I attempt that crossing.
Probably not the best analogy but I am sure you guys get the picture ....
