This has been addressed more times than I care to think about on this site before, but there seems to be a rash of postings lately aimed at complaining about a local business/service. This site will not allow these types of posting for several reasons. I understand many times the intention is to warn your fellow fishermen, but this type of forum is not a good place to air your frustrations for several reasons.
1 There is no accountability to the poster of the complaint because of services like hotmail that allow unlimited email accounts with no real information provided by the owner of the account.
2 There is no way for us to validate or determine the truth and/or intent of someone’s posting.
3 I do not want our site used to hurt someone’s business especially if the poster of the complaint has an alterior motive for posting their complaint. (Like a personal beef with the owner of said busines. This goes for any companies, not just the one’s that sponsor the site.
I have had legitimate complaints with some local companies over the years and have been tempted to post them as well, but have not because I do not allow others to. Charleston is not that big a town and if you have an issue with a company do like I have done and tell everyone you know via email or in person. Poor companies do not make it long term around here, as I have seen many come and go over the years. Word spreads quickly without having to use our site to have an impact. I appreciate everyone taking a moment to read.
