    If you allow manufacturers to moderate their own threads then you are just playing into their hands. People speak up when they see a problem, and there are plenty of those. They aren't always trolls but some like to see people get what they paid for.

    Quoted from Baiter:

    the alternative is no participation from manufacturers on Pinside at all, so pick your poison.

    Some manufacturers only show up here when they have something to sell or somebody else to blame for a problem. But when a real problem with their product arises, they tend to go hide their head in the sand.

    Quoted from Barron:

    Can you explain "mfg friendliness" to me? Like "manufacturing friendliness"?

    That's where they say "oh, you've got a problem with the machine? Well, don't worry, we are sending one of our reps out asap to inspect and resolve the problem."

    Quoted from Baiter:

    It's better than not having them on Pinside at all, which is the current situation.

    I disagree. If you come on this forum to take money from people, then you sure as hell should respond to anybody that has problem with it instead of waiting for the issue to just get forgotten. Just my opinion of course

    Quoted from pezpunk:

    Why should they be forced to spend all their time responding to one or two people, over and over and over, who have no interest in anything other than stirring up shit?

    I'm not talking about one or two people here. I'm talking about many game buyers that have posted problems but no response on this forum. Yet they still post new items for sale. That's what I'm seeing. Lots of frustrated buyers.

    Quoted from Baiter:

    Vendors won't forget something if you're calling them on the phone and sending emails to their inbox, but posting a complaint in a forum which receives thousands of messages a day is unlikely to even be found by a vendor

    One sure jumped on here fast when a machine was damaged during shipping. And was quick to say file a claim against them. But is nowhere to be found with QC issues. And then sends threatening messages to those that call him out.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you use this site to make a profit, then use it to make things right instead of stringing people along until they are pulling their hair out. Or don't come here at all. Good riddance.
