the biggest part of the problem is the rubberneckers. looky-loos. armchair quarterbacks.
whatever you want to call them.
just cause John Doe has a problem with XYZ Widget Company every swingin dick does not need to get on that forum and contribute their 2 cents.

I agree that pot-stirring posts and post that go off on tangent should be pruned from Neg-Feedback threads.

bk I am sooo wanting to post a popcorn eating mfer , sorry.
back on topic, the positive threads don't get much action because we all read it and go," heeeeeey thats great." with a big sigh. life is good.
the negative threads reach out to everyone and strike a nerve, How dare someone rip off another standup rider? even if its bs like, "you didn't ship the one bolt that wasn't included in the sale- you are a deek!" it still causes tension because NOBODY wants to get ripped off. so I think its human nature to take more interest in it. and then of course there are people who only like the pot stirring.
I think its good to get warning about a potential problem, I would be for only people directly involved being allowed to post and all others deleted they can pm if they want to.
oh and thanks and keep up the good work :fing02:

That would be the best way to censor and play favorites. I know a recent negative thread that wouldn't be allowed to be posted if we start pruning.

How so?
If posts were limited to people directly involved in transactions with the party in question (No hearsay) what could be pruned?

FYI - I changed my position from how I felt a few weeks ago... thinking about it... these issues should be left to the people involved only...
