RE: The New Rule
I am still unsure of what exactly was wrong with the thread that was deleted........other then it obviously ruffled the feathers of a sponsor. There were no improper facts.......all the facts were kept straight and many people spoke of their experiences both with the products and the material in question.
If you honestly believe that a product is a waste of money and someone asks about it..........what should you say??......Nothing?? That would be a terrible waste of one of this sites greatest resources IMO.....member input. I know if I was planning on buy a $500 bow or digital trail camera I would certainly come here first and ask everyone if they thought that was a good idea or not. I would hate to think that in the future people may not get honest feedback from members because it was deleted or just not posted. I don't see how that helps us all become better informed consumers.
I probably wouldn't have a Summit stand or a Bowtech bow if I didn't hang out here.......I also may have spent my hard earned money on some real junk if I hadn't read about it here first. I hope that in the future people are not afraid to post something negative about a product because I for one am thankful that the knowledge of all the members here is so vast that I can ask about nearly anything an get a good answer..........and yea, sometimes that good answer is "That is junk.....don't waste your money" My thoughts on that are the only companies with anything to fear from that kind of environment are the ones that hear that comment the most.
