I've seen this on a few other boards and got to thinking lately that this would be a great idea for us to have in the bike section.
This could even become a sticky for all to come in and check out the good and bad experiences. Its hard enough to find good people to deal with these days and if we compile a data base of sorts, of the good experiences we have, this will reward the ones that treat us fairly.
I'm not make decisions for anybody, but hint, hint, to our good man Clint there. Are you listening.....HINT!
The guidelines are simple and as follows:
1. A vendor can be anyone whom you have delt with for the exchange of money for goods or services.(this must partain to the bike genre--so nothing about anything that doesn't have to do with bikes)
2. This is NOT to be used as an avenue to settle vendeta's(sp?).
3. You are to speak of truth and factual information, even if the vendor(s) rebuttle is not in truth.
4. This is to be used for all whom seek the past experiences of those who have dealt before them, so be honest and descriptive as to the actual transperation of events.
5. For a good experience give it the 'ol thumbs up in the begining of the post.
6. For a bad experience give it the 'ol thumbs down in the begining of the post. If the matter is resolved to your statisfaction then you need to go back and change it to a thumbsup or neutral(see below).
7. For neither a good or bad experience then you should post neutral in asterics in the begining of your post.
8. Remember to be descriptive of the events and give reasoning for WHY you give it a good/bad/neutral rating.
9. If you find yourself in the "vendor" postion on here, you have every right to defend your side of the story and tell your version of events. However, you are expected to abide by the same guidelines set forth for everyone posting here.
10. If you recieve a good, or thumbs up, from someone on this board you do not and will not respond. This is to avoid any self promotion.
11. Making up stories for the beratment(sp?) of someone, or to promote business for yourself is strictly prohibited.
