Should posted deals require a minimum amount of information?

I've paid to see a handful of deals posted on the site and a bit disappointed that there isn't any standard when it comes to information provided. My reference is what is provided on most listing on Empire Flippers. Thoughts?

Unfortunately, the teasers I've seen generally have no additional information than what was already posted. I'd like to see some high-level historical financials (eg. last 3 years Gross Rev, Net Income), number of employees, geographic region.

Hey, Eric, we tried to differentiate it without putting too many constraints, such as letting you know if there's a teaser attached to the deal before you choose to see it, and also displaying the rating of the poster so bad brokers get automatically lower interest.
What are some metrics you would like to see? We're always looking to improve the system.
