Hi Bruce
I'm sure you have seen my posts re my Wards hood, money down the drain leaks like a sieve. Only 3/4 years old and needs replacing.

Thats quite shocking. I hope you at least told them about it.

I've only had a few things from them and, when I had a problem, they sorted it ok,

Reminder from Rules and Guidance on use of Forum

Dont: Use the forum to publicly ‘name and shame’ traders or products; this is not the appropriate method of dealing with such problems

Be careful folks.

To say that I am un-impresssed about my totally legitimate thread being moved is an understatement Seeing as several of the postings have now been "censored" why did the thread still get moved?

Bruce

I see it has now been moved back again. Thank you.

Same here thats my last post and I will not me renewing my membership, obviously the club is more interested in protecting dubious suppliers than it is its members. I believe that as a member of the SOC I should be able to advise other members if I have had poor quality or service from a supplier. Cheers guys thanks for the help and banter enjoy your new and censored forum.

Dave, it is not a matter of the club protecting suppliers (why would they?) it is a matter of protecting the club and forum from litigation. This a real issue, not just an imaginary one.

I am sure we can all continue to discuss which suppliers we prefer and which we don't, but we have to be sensible about how far we go. I am sure you will find any other forum run by a major club eg 'Triumph Torque' has to abide by similar rules.

Hi Folks...been reading this unfolding drama with interest. I hope we're not going to get all confrontational again because we seem to have made a new start and that was really refreshing.
That said... I did have a little trawl through the internet and found this link. http://ezinearticles.com/?Can-You-Be...ms?&id=2383002
Ok it's in the USA but it does highlight a worrying trend.

Hi Dave

Good find--------------------- It's not only in America. one of the major clubs in the UK a few years ago had significant problems--------------This is why we have to have Moderation and Insurance.

I have always advocated that any critcism of a product or service is acceptable if it is strictly factual. I think sharing information about products/suppliers is an important part of being in a club, but we have to be careful on the forum as it is public.

I hope we can continue to share information on here provided that we are purely factual, and 'balanced'. And no vendettas. What do the administrators think?
