It seems pretty obvious at this point what needs to be done, it was a good idea with potential but I fail to see how somewhat random votes from every Joe Smoe being a customer or not represents a vendors reputation. This is certainly not how I want my business represented. I don't have anything to hide but I don't want to feel the need to suck up to ever member on the site either.

Word of mouth travels, and I think people could easily find out what they needed to know before this system was implemented. If someone what's feedback all they have to do is ask.

Sorry, I,m missing this dandy "DISCUSSION". Seems I,m a bit busy. Gee, we have a life.

Was kind of my thoughts to Brad, but as Christy has put so much work into it and wishes to try another way, I ok with that.

I for one, never understood the need for vendor reviews. This is an aquarium board, "HOBBY". Since when the heck did we become responsible for retailers, regardless if they sponsor the board or not.

They sponsor to advertise, like all business does. It does not make Canreef or any other boards, responsible for any one particular stores business practice.

Anyways, right or wrong, thats my thoughts. Look at this mess now, because we tried to make it better.

Either way will not please everyone. Nowhere, on any public board. Period.

I thought it was pretty informative, even in that the polls pretty much echoed what I've read and what you'd expect people to say about the stores.

For the stores that pulled out, I don't know. I guess they think they are perfect.

I agree and think feedback is a good idea because it is informative.

I doubt it.. probably just want to know why they're not perfect. I don't think most people have a problem with constructive criticisms... but a bad vote on an anonymous poll is just criticism on the vendor side, and is still not as constructive as it could be for the buyers.

Can anyone tell I had a slow day at the office?

I think it's going on 4 years since I was welcomed to Canreef!!

Hey I recently saw a signature on another forum I quite liked and it went something like:
"Let's work to stop Global Whining"

While I hardly consider myself a store, I am a sponsor, and I think your comment below is short sighted. This thread is a useful and perhaps something that will improve this site for everyone. I hope you were joking....perhaps suggested by the
