A provider comes to town and has a website and TER id with aseveral reviews which she points out in her ad. Hobby guy #1 and Hobby guy #2 answer the ad. Hobby guy #1 sees her on the first day. Hobby Guy #2 sees her on the second day.
Hobby Guy #1 immediately posts a truthful review, normal turnaround for approval. Hobby Guy #2 sees her on day 2.
The review from Hobby guy #1 posts on day 3. He lists his reasons for his disappointment clearly, old pics, detached performance, age much older etc. Provider sees post on day 3 and blows up the phone of Hobby guy #2 blaming him for everything in the review- 15 text messages. Provider runs to TER and wants review pulled. Provider puts her website "under construction" immediately. Hobby guy #2 cannot post his review due to the lack of working website, per TER rules.
Bottom line- provider is far below the standard of the pics she shows. Substandard in performance. A lot older and it shows.
Cannot post a mini review due to TER rules,, she now has 5 posted reviews.
How can the community benefit from the blocking of reviews by the provider blocking her website? Any suggestions on how to inform the community?
I have been around the hobby since before the internet and been through the times when major boards went silent for various reasons. I have never seen this action by a provider. If you PM me I can provide the provider ID, with one condition, offer only good for three days, I don't need to prolong this.
