Is shop experience conversation/bashing allowed?

[JITB]

OR is that still a no no... :thinking:

[Seymour222]

Experience Yes. Bashing No.

[AnthonyF]

if they are a sponser, NO!

[The Ninja]

Hooked-on-Phonics needs to be a sponsor. I'm sure they could be a strong positive influence.

EDIT** That or use FIREFOX! :lmfao:

[Alan®]

if they are a sponser, NO!
see i don't agree with that at all. why should it matter whether or not they are a sponsor or not. it's a free country and people can make their own decision based on whatever facts or lies are presented most of the time you can ask about that situation and they will staight out say whther or not it was true.

[AnthonyF]

b/c they are a PAYING sponser. you are here for FREE. They are contributing keeping this site running so you can stay entertained. Discussion of the shops work is ok. bad or good. But straight bashing it is not allowed.

no thats what i'm saying. unnessecary(SP?) shop bashing shouldnt be allowed but so long as you can say look i had a bad experience take it or leave it then its all good. I have personally never been one to bash shops but if someone ****s me over i'm gonna say somethin

[AnthonyF]

^yea sry. didnt feel like typing it all out the 1st time. if i did, we wouldnt be having thsi conversation.

[HIgH_ScHoOL]

Does this mean he is ok as long as its a "conversation of experience?"

I'm curious to know the shop in question.

[Alan®]

Ant-i figured thats what you meant

[Echonova]

Old skool 'Fo realz.

[redrumracer]

i thought anything was allowed in the whoreslounge now except for porn or cussing. look at it this way you can try it and see if paul or julio ban you or not.

[Jimmy B]

OR is that still a no no... :thinking:
if its true, and it can be proven and its a viable argument, i dont see why not, sponser or not.. if you jsut rant about it, yea, you/ anyone else have the right to be baned

[Echonova]

Bish, I've been in this game since before there was an aftermarket. We made our own sh*t. Julio/Paul gotz nothing on me. I make my own rules.




P.S. Half a bottle of Rum and I no longer feel sick.:goodjob: :goodjob:

I remember when Papadakis was fat and I was skinny.

thats it weaksauce

[Echonova]

But it's a big bottle...

[Vteckidd]

No shop bashing is allowed.

you can TRY to have a constructive or criticizing thread, but likely, in here , that wont happen.

So you can try, but most likely we will lock it or move it if it gets out of hand or if any type of bashing happens.

[Echonova]

I will bash Batlground until Tracy agrees to sleep with me.















Or I can afford to go there...:(

[Jimmy B]

sir, "rules are" only paul an julio can lock or move anything in here..

rules are rules!


mr tough guy

[redrumracer]

i dont agree with bashing, but if you went to a shop and they just out right sucked then who cares if they are a sponsor or not, the fact is they suck. and people should be notified of that. and the rules clearly state that anything goes. there was no grey in that statement that julio made

my point exactly sponsors pay for advertising which helps pay to keep the site up so i understand how they are important in that respect. but that just because they are a sponsor does not mean that this site should be a safe haven for them if they **** up. if someone ****s up they should know about. what do you think the bbb is for?

[KPowerEP3]

to hell with it. It'll be tomorrow before anything happens anyways, the only people that can do anything about it are paul and julio, so post away, no sense in debating it.

[Vteckidd]

IF there is shop bashing , IT WILL BE MOVED to a different forum until Julio and Paul decide what to do with it.

Again, posting experiences is allowed, BASHING is not.

The policy has not changed.

Anything goes in the whoreslounge, but we still watch every thread :)

It doesnt work that way. You guys are overinterpreting ;)

What shop was it btw :police:

We are the judge of how truthfull the story might be. Regardless, most bashing of shops is one sided an the whole truth is never told.

So do what you want, but it doesnt mean it will be allowed, it depends how the responses go and where the threads direction will go.

We like to protect the sponsors because without them there would be no IA to begin with.

But we also dont turn a blind eye obviously.

if someone had a bad experience, please share, but bandwagoning and bashing is strictly prohibited

[Echonova]

Anything goes in the whoreslounge, but we still watch every thread :)What am I wearing right now????

[Vteckidd]

HAHA

[Echonova]

We are the judge of how truthfull the story might be. Regardless, most bashing of shops is one sided an the whole truth is never told.Werd, there are three sides to every story. Yours, mine and the truth.

havent you heard, im a power hungry, power abusing liar :crazy:

[Alan®]

:thinking: How the hell are you guys going to judge how true a story is when you weren't even there. my point is this sponsor or not you **** up you should be held accountable for it and people should know

[Echonova]

havent you heard, im a power hungry, power abusing liar :crazy:Yes, but if I stroke your ego enough you will put in a good word for me, so I can become one step closer to my dream.

[Vteckidd]

:thinking: How the hell are you guys going to judge how true a story is when you weren't even there. my point is this sponsor or not you **** up you should be held accountable for it and people should know

You can tell what happened or how true it is usually within the first few posts.

Again, the policy has been in place long before i was a moderator. No shop bashing is allowed.

Posting experiences with FACTS is fine.

[Echonova]

Tracy and her pants... Seperated.
