Shop bashing threads

[Redlyne_mr2]

Seems lots of threads coming up lately with people who are bashing local shops right off the bat without trying to resolve the issues with the store first hand. This is making the stores look bad and its because of kids like this who will lead to these stores closing down because word of mouth is the most powerful form of advertising in a small scene. I think any thread regarding this topic shoudl be deleted if the thread starter has not made a sufficient effort to get their matter resolved.

I see where you are coming from but more often that not, a shop will get things settled more quickly in an effort to risk damaging their reputation. A little PR goes a long way.

i think consumers should be aware about some businesses, but it should lead to businesses changing their practices not completely shutting down, the bashing like "they brought my part in 5 days too late" are bs and those topics should be shut down

We're not going to censor any discussions regarding shops, even if they are sponsors here. That includes both good discussions, and bad discussions (bashing). That's been our rule since day 1, and will continue to be the rule here.

I agree with Ryan.... if your gonna come on here and bash a shop you better have tried to talk it over with them before you rant away online, behind your computer monitor. People are making themselves look like idiots
