Am simply trying to understand a rule.

Requiring Vouches: You may not promise/require a vouch in the market. Vouches are given when the user you're dealing with feels you deserve a vouch, and no one is obligated to vouch under any circumstances.

I keep reading this rule and each time I feel I don't quite understand it but anyway... Why is this rule in place? Why can you not require a vouch?

I very recently started selling in the software market place. I initially offered 5 vouch copies only to users with 10+ posts in the HOPE (because I can't require due to the rule) that users would come back and vouch that their keys worked. In the end I gave out 17 vouch copies, for free. Only 3 of which actually bothered to come back and re-post to say that their keys worked.

So I go back to the beginning question. Vouches are important if you want to gain trust and provide a great service. Why can we not require a vouch, if a vouch copy is given out? At the moment there is nothing stopping these guys posting on every sales thread for vouch copies and essentially stealing them (which I am seeing already)?

I would like to see this rule turned around, unless there is a reason I have not considered. The user should be required to respond once the vouch copy has been given whether the feedback is postive or negative.

I've probably overlooked something here so I look forward to your replies
