Using this board to bashing businesses

Lately there have been a few posts started that spoke of some bad experiences folks have had on trips.

I would just like to remind everyone that the "NO BASHING" rule does not just apply to other posters of this site, it applies to everyone. Persons that are not members of this board, businesses that may or may not be associated with this site. Everyone.

I realize that sometimes a bad experience can be had, I have had my own from time to time. However, without the ability to hear both sides of the story, it is not fair to allow only one side of the story.

That is unless we allow the flip side of the coin to happen. Businesses can come on the site and talk about bad experiences they have had with customers. Only the businesses side of the story would be told. Then perhaps a "black ball" list can get started and other businesses can check in and make sure the person wanting to make reservations at their business is not on the black ball list. If they are. Too bad, looks like vacationing is something in the past for them.

Of course I would not ever start the black ball list, but just wanted to illustrate to those that feel like they can just come on the board and say anything they want about anyone (including businesses), that it can go both ways and I doubt they would want it to happen to them.

Well said, as always, John.

There has been a lot of complaining lately. Let's try and have some positive feedback. It is, afterall, winter with plenty of snow to play in. Let's have some fun!!!

Okay...so Sled Solutions is in charge of creating and maintaining the "DREADED BLACK BALL LIST"

What do I have to do to get my name on there first before PolarisONE gets HIS name on there first??

Wa..wa, wah! Does that qualify??

I read this stuff but understand only 1 side of story & prefer to make my own judgements. How damaging not really sure? I have posted a big thank you for good service then someone hijacks thread & say they had bad service from same biz I'm thanking for good service. To me it is bush to complain online take care of whatever face to face then move on. Everyone deserves a 2nd chance good or bad. I learned to luv a certain gas station everyone complained about & I was not happy with treament either but get a long real well now & happy they are there. You have to think is it me or them or a combination of me & them & try again.

Thats right, no bashing businesses or people in general. But feel free to use the word PUSSY. Seen it twice now in the last week or 2.
