I am not sure how the reefer being discussed would know he/she is being discussed as no names would be allowed. However If he/she had anything to say or ask he/she would contact the original poster via email. It's no different then me and a fellow reefer discussing another reefer face to face or over the email, the reefer in question wouldn't be there to defend himself either.

If someone was to post up a thread asking for peoples experiences with a company via PM would you respond to that person only if you had a negative experience or a positive one or both? Would you even respond?

Would it be okay to start thread that said PM me for my experience with XXXX vendor. Or is this a bad idea.

I would be one to respond either way. If I have a good experience I tell anyone I know who needs that service. If I have a bad experience I tell everyone even if they don't want to know or want to listen.

Depends on the the question. If it's "have you been ever ripped off by XX?" you'll get one set of answers, if it's "considering purchasing from YY, pls give feedback good or bad" you'll get other answers. It's also a heads up to XX and YY that people are watching and gives them the opportunity to PM the buyer to clarify issues that they think might be coming back to haunt them.

I'm just wondering about the rating forum on RC and how it's done. Some how I don't think they have a team of lawyers vetting every rating, is it they're not worried about lawsuits or is the threat overated. Thinking from my Judge Judy watching, if I give negative feedback and it was true I wouldn't have much to worry about, nor would Canreef.

Can see about staying away from vendor rating as just a matter of economics.

seems like a plan, just make sure to clear your in-box.
