Rodger, I get your point, but the cream rises to the top no matter what. The best can't please everybody, but they please more than their competition.

Paid advertisers have caused major harm around here twice, something needs to change.
I don't like it. Anonymous means it's not controlled; vendors can stuff the box with false feedbacks, and vice-versa. A lot of places use the five star system, but there's no way to know if it's real or not. We have feedback available and if you're not willing to put your name on it then I guess it wasn't that important.

Per a few pages back “Vendor/member feed back thread is a great place on lat g to post recent or current transaction experiences.

Describe and Rate any recent or current transactions good or bad and it can serve as a resource for those lat g members about to engage in a transaction. Heck include part or service rendered and post the post sale experience/support.

Anything ordered on amazon can be rated, the vendor making the sale and the product sold. Key again is posting your feedback. Good vendors will continue to do well and so so vendors are given a chance to make good on any hiccups.

Transparency is always good and it gives the vendors or members an opportunity to rebuke or fix any problems that may have occurred vice versa - tough part is to post even after getting burned but doing so just helps everyone else out”

Greg gets a pass on vendor posting feed back - poor guy has done enough heavy lifting his back might give out )

I don't get why everyone on here is venting about Ron and their issues instead of the feedback section. When I knew Scott Mock was a joke I put on my big boy pants and my flame suit and immediately posted about him. I was a new member and he was a long term member for years here.

I knew there was going to be backlash brought on myself from disbelievers but that was expected and I knew I would have to have my ducks in a row to prove my case. Guess what, he's no longer a vendor and no longer a member.

Even after multiple people got the courage to posted up after me I still got hate messages and people asking me
"Are his frames really that bad" uhmm yes look at the pictures I posted?

Why wait years to post complaints about Ron on someone else's build thread? Why would anyone even want to do business with him still if everything that's been said is true and he burnt another member of his friendship, time and money.

Point is when something isn't right you have to man up and post it regardless of the backlash. Right is right. Help others save their hard earned money and most importantly time. Money we can all make again eventually, time we can never get back.

Anonymous to the public, not the moderators. There has to be accountability.

Having a rating system will not stop what happened here. In the past this site has removed problem vendors way before other sites. It has always been the site members over money here. I just see too many negatives with your rating system.

In that instance, I'd think the public would have just as much right to know as the mod's would. I mean, we're the ones who'd be vulnerable to spending or shall I say losing hundreds to thousands of dollars, right?

LETS PLEASE TAKE THIS DISCUSSION SOMEWHERE ELSE --- not in my thread.

The FACTS are being lost and there is little or no solution because people are afraid to state their case.


BACK TO CARS PLEASE take the backroom problems elsewhere.

Haven't been here in years but same old BS people using the forum like its their personal phone conversation. Posting a hundred pages of a love fest and oh's and ah's of pictures when nobody can actually see the work they are commenting on. If someone dares to post an actual intelligent question regarding whats wrong they get attacked by the "Hey Thats My Friend" nonsense.

How do you end this? Easy stop these 100 page posts where people turn their builds and the people doing the building into untouchable gods. Its like reality TV I admit I read 10 pages because its interesting but after the long winded I love you fest its time to realize its these posts that are the problem. Its like getting into a group chat with the popular kid at school and having the chance to maybe get their attention.

No rating system needed just stop these personal look at me builds. You want it about the cars well stop posting long personal comments that take these builders from just that, builders to Gods.

bash away!


Projects section and maybe a Personal section where people can chat away.
