Whining about traders
« on: 28 June 2011, 19:46 »
Could this have its own section, to move the terminally hard of thinking into their own special space, please?

Obviously it will need a lot of instructions and warnings to avoid them breaking it, or just a re-direct back to CGTI?
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

I think there should be a section as there is one to recommend places why not a place to deter people.. these threads pop up almost as much as ***** is a scammer..

Wow! DH complaining about people complaining.....pot, kettle, black?? :rolleyes:

Although I agree with tech that a section could be introduced which is similar to 'the good guys' one to warn people of dodgy businesses/traders.

Then what about a 'Reviews' section with a disclaimer stating that everything posted is the view of the individual and doesn't reflect the views of the forum or it's owners, whether the review is good or bad.

that + what if 1 person has a bit of a problem with the company and catches someone at said company on an 'off' day or there is a misunderstanding, they get the hump and give them sh!t in that section, or a competitor signs up to GGTI and flames them to give them bad cred when their work is ace?

Giving a thumbs up to a company is better than giving them a thumbs down and knowing you lot it'll turn into a flame war against the company.

And thus surely the whining libellous posts should also be taken down as well?
