Yeah, even us British Columbians knew about this last week. Old news. Put down the XBox controllers and come on Canreef more often, eh.

The big concern is in gloriously promoting vendors who aren't sponsors. As this is a negative experience, which certainly doesn't promote the store in question (but does promote a Canreef sponsor), there shouldn't be any issue with it.

They still don't allow them my dear...

Moderators don't even crude these boards anymore?

There are dozens of threads similar to this, and they are certainly advantageous to canreef sponsors (as seen here). It would be foolish of the mods to delete them.

The mods are quite quick about locking threads that advertise a non-sponsors wares when the merchandise is available through a sponsor.

I'm pretty sure this is the second negative "Big Al's" thread that you've commented on. There have been a couple of positive ones that you haven't commented on, and there have been several threads with regards to other retailers that you haven't commented on. I find that interesting. Are you doing work for Big Al's?

Nope... I sell to every store in the city.... And I like them all the same!

If you go back and look way back, perhaps before your time you can see that you cannot talk negatively about any stores. It bugs me that while store 'a' might frequent the forum and complain about a perhaps negative thread, and that gets it closed immediately. Store 'b' might not frequent canreef and their negative thread goes on 4 or 5 pages.

That's all... If the thread was about "joe's fish shoppe" I would have said something...

And while it might be a positive review for Dave at concepts, the thread title might need a little editing. No?

I see no reason the thread title would need to be edited. If Big Al's wants immunity from negative reviews on Canreef they can always pay for a sponsorship. Most forums won't permit negative reviews of sponsors, and they are quickly locked or deleted.
