I've been here since Dec 2014 and have never been asked if I want to buy seeds. Been offered free seeds many times though.

@Son of Hobbes
Honestly, dude, I’m just gonna stick to Fastbuds, Bomb Seeds, Mandalorian, Short Stuff, and Mephisto until the “gold rush” is over.
Unless they’re recommended on here, I’m not going to bother.
I mean, it’d be great to find a mix of Leafly and BBB, Although avoiding white label practioners would be a bitch.

I think credentials would help alot of the new growers who dont know much about any breeders. I know i learned about many breeders on this site. So far they've all been great. I think keeping that reputation at AFN is important.
I get solicited daily for seeds, lights, mediums, and sex. All for free too, sometimes at the same time
. It sure is a tough world out here. I am counting on you guys to tell me who to trust.

Not that I will be chasing new breeders...
However, it seems to me that, if AFN wants to provide breeder reliability information here, I think acceptance of a breeder on AFN could be undertaken in stages.
First, a combination of initial evaluation tools, which could include an exam as suggested by @MissUniverse, or at minimum provision by the breeder of sufficient information about their background and operation to convince an expert panel here that there is good reason to think that the breeder is serious.
Second, if and only if a breeder gets past initial evaluation, further support here would only follow by testing seeds, and as other point out, in fairness, testing has to be done by growers who have proven that they know what they are doing.
Third, ongoing reputation here would depend on reviews by AFN members, as is now the case for large breeders/seedbanks.
FWIW. In the meantime I will watch with interest, but will stick to Mephisto for the time being.
Good luck to the AFN senior gang, this issue is worthy of effort, and your attempt to get on top of it is appreciated.
