Ekona Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Am I reading this correctly that we are no longer allowed to post negative comments about traders under fear of a ban? First we are supposed to contact the trader (which is perfect common sense), then we have to go to the Team, and then what? AIUI, the Team do not get involved in disputes due to various legal issues which is a fairly obvious reason in itself, so if we don't get a resolution...? The new rule seems very clear, that if we post outside of this new method then it's points for a ban. Perhaps some clarification on this, and to the thinking behind it would be very welcome.

martinmac Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Assuming you are still able to read. If there are issues report them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Yeah, I get that, but what if the issue isn't resolved? Are the Team now stepping in on our behalf? Are you saying that we are forbidden from posting negative experiences by the traders? The rule seems to state that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I don't see it as a problem Dan and it will definitely help stop any unfair slander against the traders. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 We have always stepped in when asked and where it's warranted. We will continue to do this. There will always be hiccups and problems with couriers etc. Usually a pm or call to a trader will see this resolved. If not let the team know.

Ekona Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Thanks Graham, that's clarified things perfectly. I assume this has come up after a certain post the other day regarding alleged copyright infringement. Seems sensible, although I don't see how that post would've been affected under the new rule as it was on topic in the right place, but even so it's good to know that the freedom we've enjoyed here for years with regards to discussions on traders won't be altered.
