I am another that is glad the vendor rating forum is gone. and I applode Titus' desision to remove it as it was getting out of hand and out of control. there is a lot of "where should I buy" posts in other places on the board and they can be found with a simple search.
the main problem was that the vendor rating turned into a brawling match of you said I said and other junk that has no place on the board. "Other" board have also severally restricted there vendor rating sections also to the point if there is anything that could be considered slander ect the post is deleted entirely. SO with that going on what use is the section if entire posts get deleted for one persons comments.
If you want to know a good place to go or one to stay away from in Calgary simply go to the Calgary area and post "could some one tell me good places to shop in Calgary for seahorses ect.." or "could some one PM me on which places I should stay away from in Calgary"
the problem is like it has Bean stated is this is a private board and Titus is footing the bill. he tries to offset that by getting advertising and sponsors. what company in there right mind would advertise on or sponsor a board that lets the members slander them?? doesn't make good business sense now does it. Bottom line this is a private board where you have to applie for a membership not a e-mail group and we have to abide by the terms and conditions set by the owner, Titus. If we don't like them we are free to go else where and slam companies.
