haha tossers! why delete it? its what happened, people should know schools putting profit before safety!
steady on tenno - real people are involved here.
The post was removed for "complaining about a business". When a 1st post person comes along and bags out a business, in the past it's usually been someone unhappy with that business, looking to do them damage.
If the goal is to promote safety, then keep it that way. If anybody wants to complain about a business, then they should ring that business up, not create a kangaroo court here.
In the deleted topic, the "accused" business has already denied it, and the argument is on.
If you want
real action, make some phone calls and talk to people to confirm the situation, and discuss it with them.
Complaints about a business/associations
When this occurs, the poster is usually quite fired up and emotional. Often the customer is now out to cause as much damage as possible to the business with the mission that they are "fully justified" (their words) and "simply stating facts" (their words) about the business/association.
This may be the case .. or not. There are many sides to any story. The point is that the Seabreeze forums are not the appropriate place to resolve the issue. Contact the business, or go to the appropriate legal/government authority and do it there.
Choose not to, and end up in hot water. As soon as you flame a business, you'll usually get supporters of the business come out in defence and question your behaviour and motives. People interested in the discussion will seek more information from you. It soon descends into an argument containing many and varied versions of the truth and everybody goes home unhappy.
It has never ended well for anybody.
The business is damaged, the poster now has a stigma in the forum community (and now can't deal with many shops because the shops know what will happen if they cross this customer - there business will get dragged through the mud.)
And of course, there's also the situation when the poster does not really have a complaint, but is simply a competitor or naive associate of a business who thinks the way to get more business is to degrade the competition.
A special note: This applies (and has been applied) to any business, not just businesses that sponsor the site.As the last line suggests, the business that was targetted does not advertise here.
