Definitely not a good idea yes it would be great but like crzyman said too easy to have you and the forum taken to court for slander etc so hands are tied in all reality.
Had a think about it and don't want to the one to start a forum of bitching and moaning , the old saying shit sticks and im sure in the heat of the moment we will push the limits ,Will let sleeping dogs lie ,Quote:

On the other hand I don't see why we can't have a Wall of Fame, that is companies , business' that have given us good service, with no negative stuff.
Doesn't have to be Shooting/Fishing related either, just a post about any busines that has gone above and beyond in the personal eye of the poster.
Jakewire -no one wants good news it just doesnt sell LOL Munsey ,lets us know what it was that happened -no names
how many have already run gun city down in here
Gun shitty by all accounts is a shit of a place you would do well to avoid?
This bears no resemblance to Gun C i t y
I've never had a problem with them ever.........bought my first rifle off them years ago.Quote:

Actually I've always thought it would be a good idea to start a list of "customers that a business doesn't want" but then again that business might find that customer a real challenge while another business might find the same customer to be one of their best.
Its a can of worms alright Kiwishooter.
Threw my work we get some cocks that moan like hell when we(I) am doing them a favor(ie F all of what it should cost) so I tell them to go somewhere else and hear back that the cost was double and he didnt pay a cent.
But the rating system on trade me seems to work.
If somebody has 200+ good replys and one bad one you can assume that guy was a cock? I do;)
I don't think it's a good idea to have a section like that.
However I think people should feel free to post about bad experiences/service, for the future benefit of others.
If I bought only from NZ gun shops based on having a good customer experience I would probably have nowhere to shop. Most of my shit comes from Brownells these days anyway. I hate the Gomer Pyle in store customer service from hunting a fisting and the over inflated swinging dick ego's of other well known gun shop owners/employees
I have had very poor service from every govt dept I have ever had the dis pleasure of trying to deal with.Quote:

I'm not going to name the company but I know that one retailer puts plastic chinese parts in AR's, like bushmasters etc for exhourborant prices as if they were all legit.... see shit like that going on needs to named and shamed, seriously if I paid 4,500 for a brand new rifle I'd expect it to be mint at the very least, like all numbers matching etc, however if i were to find a part in there that wasn't a genuine part of the rifle,then to only find out its plastic I'd be super f!@ked off!
see what I mean? feeding companies/retailers that don't honour their products or make a substandard one with money is only feeding the lack of workmanship that goes/doesnt go into it....
point made?
I wonder if we are getting a little carried away, I certainly wasn't thinking of a seperate section for either fame or shame when I made my post, simply an ongoing thread in the off topic section where a member can post where a company or business of any type has gone the extra mile for him/her and leave it at that, no contradictory posts in the thread about the same company.
I think a "Wall of Shame" could leave us open to just so much bother it's not worth it.
Anyone who has had a bad time can easily post about it in any of the relevant sections if they so wish.
I think whenever somebody gets super shitty customer service and wants to vent, they can start their own thread. Leave it at that.
Didn't you know that is what govt departments are for........just the same as local councils.Quote:

Now if a business gave 100 customers bad service and 1 customer good service do you think they would be in business long.
Perhaps when someone starts a thread of the bad service the business is given the chance to respond (after all there are always two sides to a story) before the thread goes public.
I am sure there are a lot of businesses who would like to start threads about bad customers, should this be allowed also??
"Wall of shame" sounds like something the other forum would jump at. Here I want read and talk about hunting.
JMHO................
I thought we'd decided it wasnt a good idea?
Not all Council departments are created equal im sure you would get great service from my departmentQuote:
