Rant reminder, rebuff

[Karen]

For those of us who HAVE read the Rant rules, thank you very much, I did not name the business. I was ranting about the customer who put everyone in a bad position and cost one of the employees the money she would have made on an appointment. I did attempt to reschedule but was unable. That is why I am taking my business elsewhere, privately, and not naming the business. I don’t see how I can give the rude customer an opportunity of making amends.

I think still think you should restore my post.

Yes, I thought that was odd that the topic was closed. You did not specify the business or give any identifying details. For all I know, it wasn’t even in West Seattle; it could have just been a general vent of frustration from a West Seattleite. I would have been irritated, too.

I also thought it was weird – since the business wasn’t named either. It’s kind of like ranting about folks bringing kids to a restaurant and letting them run around. If it’s a generalized rant it usually stays on the board.

I thought it was weird too, it would be like closing all the rant threads about arrogant dog owners. the forum would be eerily silent.

I don’t get it either…kinda defeats the whole purpose of having a rant section. I think it only really becomes an issue if someone has a problem with your post and actually reports you. A while back I asked ahead of time what the rules were as far as posting a license plate number in a rant. They told me no because the rule is no personally identifying info (which I understand), but then I read one of the longest threads ever about the recurring sidewalk parking job of some vehicle in Admiral…it gave the license plate number as well as a description of the vehicle and where it was located and the thread went on and on and on for days…so much so that someone eventually said they sent a copy of the thread to the home owner to bring the problem to their attention. Apparently no one seemed to have a problem with that, but your legitimate rant with no identifying info is flagged and closed…I’m totally confused.

Where I go for spa treatments children are not allowed, period. Having children there really defeats the purpose, it is suppose to be relaxing. I agree that it was strange the post was deleted.

I agree as well that it is odd that it got pulled – it definitely didn’t seem to violate any rules. Granted, the WSB can run this site as they see fit, but given that they are a news organization, I think a little transparency into this decision would be nice! :)
