Default Got a good question..

Why do all the Threads that are a negative about Sponsors get deleted?

Are they perfect all of the sudden, do they not **** up?

I had posted about a legit bad experience with a Sponsor and it was deleted.

What is the sense of having a feedback section when it's not going to be held up as true and honest since all the negative things that happen get deleted and only the good things stay.

Everyone ***** up with something, no one is perfect. Maybe the negative stuff should stay and that sponsor can learn from it what deturred them a potential customer. I understand that some of them are bogus, but there are legit ones, just seems like all the negative ones get axed.

Just my .02..makes it look like someone is a cry baby somewhere and can't handle a bad wrap when they messed something up.

It wasn't a thread, more less a post on someone's thread about the same company, which I wil honestly say that in the sticky's say don't do that, so I understand.

More/less the general idea was to ask why the negative feedback threads don't stick around..

Percentage-wise, they do stick around. A small percent are locked or removed.
That usually occurs when people with no experience with the issue or the sponsor
jump on the bandwagon and starting bashing a sponsor. That type of activity isn't
going to help resolve a situation nor will it make a sponsor continue to stick around.
I certainly wouldn't pay to advertise and get my company name slandered without
reason. Of course, there are situations where there is just cause to express your
concerns with a sponsor. That's the purpose of that forum. Keep it civil and on point
and the thread won't be touched.

I haven't reviewed your thread. I'm just speaking in general terms.

Yea. It actually wasnt my thread, I had posted it on someone elses cause it was related in a way, just a minor issue that I had had. That is why I understand why it may had been deleted cause it was someone elses thread.
