Unforunately no to the LFS's too. Sorry.. We actually had a forum for vendor reviews a few years ago. It became an administrative nightmare.

I've found that the best two ways to settle a disagreement with a vendor: talk to them directly and voice your concerns; or let your wallet do the talking.

I totally hear what you are saying. I have resolved my situation I hope, I will find out tomorrow, it would just be nice to, I guess warn others of what to be leary of. Don't get me wrong, I am not one to go around bad mouthing LFS or anyone else for that fact.

{aww, nevermind} I just deleted my answer and will leave it at that. If thats how you and/or other members think of the staff make board decisions, then its just plain sad.

I for one, will inform Titus of my resignation and you can apply for the position, then perhaps make some changes if thats how you wish the board to be.

IMO these types of threads generally turn into a "he said-she said" pi$$ing match that is seldom productive. I recommend communication between the people involved is the best course of action. Unfortunately in many cases it is a "live & learn" scenario but such is life. I have been both ripped off and unfairly "slagged" by members on this board. All I can do is privately warn others of my concerns and as far as the latter goes I think anyone that knows both me & the other party will consider the source.

Just for your info, we had a thread regarding the subject. Although several were in favour, a good many were opposed to the idea of it. Between that and our staff discussion on it, specifically pointing out things like Greg mentioned, put an end to it.

I have seen some boards where it works pretty good but several of them are heavy handed moderated. I have also seen some that ended up a complete mess.

So the same as the vendor review idea, Canreef decided to pass on it for now. That does not mean it cant happen in the future if thats the direction a good portion of the membership wishes the board to go and the boards owner also thinks its a good idea.

Thanks
