I think everybody needs to really consider what they are asking the canreef staff to do when they want more features added to this. They not only have to set all this up they have to keep on top of it and make sure things stay civil. They're going to be put in the middle of stupid conflicts all the time that can't be resolved to everyone's satisfaction. It's a big job and a crappy one.

Agreed. Open discussion of an issue for 2 weeks then it is removed. Both members and vendors are free to discuss the issue. Exceptions include leaving the thread online longer than 2 weeks due to issues associated with suspected fraud or other suspicious activity.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about... but the review goes back to March 07 so you must be talking about something else wicked? But I'd be curious to see what you're talking about too?

This is the one I was thinking about. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/fo...p?s=&forumid=8

Think if there was one like this on this site, and it could hit the homepage/be bumped, may be some value in that. Then you could hear the vendors thoughts should they choose to have their story heard.

Why would removing the thread after 2 weeks be at all beneficial to potential customers? Sure, it seems like a great way for vendors to sweep bad feedback under the rug, but as a consumer that's exactly the type of history I want to see in order to help me make my decisions. I could see something akin to eBay where the "issue" is left open for discussion between the vendor and the customer for let's say a couple weeks, but it should certainly be left online for significantly longer than 2 weeks so other customers can utilize the dialogue as Canreef intended - to enable customers to determine if a certain vendor's business practices and quality of products fall in line with what they are seeking.
