No negative comments towards sponsors?

[ckinchen]

I am going to re open this thread. I was coaching my sons baseball game tonight when this was posted so I could not respond.

The op did nothing wrong and was not given an infraction. If I wanted to cover it up I would have deleted the thread. He made it clear he is having an issue with Duce rods and if his issues are true then I have no problem with people hearing about it as long as it was done in a respectful manner which it was.

Threads on here get out of control fast, the thread was closed to avoid a bash fest of one of our sponsors. That being said they are not above criticism if they are not doing right by people then people should know about it so the thread was not deleted.

Does there need to be a 768 page thread to warn people? No the thread stayed so that if people do a search for that company they can still see what people had to say. I think it is a very fair way to handle a very bad situation.

For the record I will also always try to contact our sponsors myself when a member has an issue.

That seems fair, thanks for the response.

The only problem with shutting the thread down early is that what if the OP had a personal issue with Duce? No one else was able to comment on the section and they could have been Pro Duce and have had good experiences with them and would come to the companies defense. The larger the sample size of the responses, the more the consumer could make up his own mind based upon why the majority were saying, not the biased few on both sides of the argument.

That is why I don't believe censorship is best either way you look at it.

Understood, it is a fine line and delicate balance. No doubt we make errors in judgment sometimes and are not perfect. Every situation is different.
