Recent Bashing, Animosity towards certain vendors and information

[LBZ]

A dealer who charges for services not done, selling used machines as "brand new", etc is more than just a tarnished relationship with one individual. Not only would I want to know about it, I'd tell everyone I know. That said, I can appreciate how hard it is to moderate this sort of thing.

I agree. I started a thread about an experience exactly like this moreso as a psa and the mods axed it with no explanation. It wasn't bs or just bashing either and was also reported to the area rep for that manufacturer as well.
Things like this I feel people have a right to know about. I sure as hell want to know about dealers that pull crap like this.

I honestly don't feel that these "PSA's" have any place on these forums. I don't care to see people's dirty laundry and 90% of the ones I read make me think the person posting it is probably the jerk who got what he deserved.

If we want middle ground, it should be locked and emailed to the vendor for his response and then posted, but again, still locked so that the 100 page flame war doesn't result in everyone looking like an dipsh!t. Even a good, well written post can be followed by enough crap to warrant deletion of the whole thing.

On that note, if people really want this sh!t, lock the thread instead of deleting it so it can trickle down and not be followed by a dozen WHERE'D MY POST GO threads.

Also, it's always going to be one sided because vendors are not going to post stories about the a**hole/idiotic/ripoff customers. Ha, I'd love to see that list!

if we lock the thread its the same result 70 threads of "why is my post locked".

As Ron has said all this feedback is awesome and greatly appreciated.

it would seem to me that if a moderator sent the member that started the questionable thread a message explaining why his thread was pulled, those unnecessary threads would be avoided. and if that member started a b!tching thread about it after having it explained in said message, you would know they are simply causing trouble and then deal with them accordingly. you guys do a great job, but you can't be friends with everyone while trying to keep things under control here.

50,000 + members, and growing every day. not an easy job methinks

Keep in mind, the website has recieved a few "cease and desist" orders/letters from: Vendors, non vendors, manufacturers, members ... And these also have to be dealt with. Not many, but have had a few. Just an extra little problem that the site, and ron, and mods deals with
