OK, let's be very specific here. Comments, good or bad, about suppliers/sites are fine and welcome for all the reasons given in various posts above but, as bitter experience and many locked threads show, some people have absolutely no idea how to be just factual in their posts and these are the ones which will cause serious trouble. Bear in mind it's not always those who post the messages who will have to deal with the flak in connection with criticism but the Moderators and, quite frankly, we have enough to do with without having to deal with suppliers who feel that criticisms are over the top. If anyone has a problem with a supplier or a site then the first port of call must be direct to that supplier or site, not via a fairly safe, remote and anonymous posting here. For this and similar reasons (which have all been discussed before), we aren't looking to create a moans and groans/ praise and congratulations Area - in this age of instant litigation, it's deemed to be far too risky.
