The Suggestion Box

Posted Mon February 19, 2007 12:00 pm, by The PlanetFeedback Team


Well, we asked for feedback and you are sending -- nay, catapulting -- it our way!

There are numerous ways you can leave feedback.

1. You can send it directly to us at support@planetfeedback.com
2. You can leave it in the Suggestion Box
3. You can send it to any member of the PFB Kitchen Table (an advisory panel made up of PFB members). Their email addresses are listed at the top of our main page
4. If you prefer to send your feedback anonymously, you can use the suggestion form directly below our Suggestion Box archive links.

is there any way to put up a "friendly reminder" that retail employees
are people too and that especially this time of year, a little respect
goes a long way? i put up a letter last year which got a decent
respponse. i would just like to remind everyone that just because the
economy is down, it is not okay to be rude and abusive to the front
line soldiers fighting the war known as "december" a valid complaint
is one thing but all these petty nonsensical demands are getting on my
nerves; example, "this cashier told me that i cant bring 150 items
through the express line, i want him FIRED!" or, "so and so wouldnt
let me shop for two hours after closing, FIRE HIM"

just my thoughts,
thank you.

Have you reduced the size limit for avatars? I've been trying to

used previously and it is also too big. They are all the correct

Well right now I can't post from home.

(I know it's not any kind of banning since I haven't gotten any
emails, and I can post from my college computers).



Anyway, the Mac's laid up for a few days - broken power cord, new one
on order.

So in the meantime I dusted off the 5 year old PC and put the beast
online.

Quick stats - HP running XP with a fresh install, surfing with Safari
(primary) but I've also tried Google Chrome and Firefox. (I won't use
IE)


I can web surf here but whenever I post it gives me "General error".
Even on the suggestion board.


anyone know what I can do to fix this?
(and no i confess i haven't installed SP 2 or 3 yet, not sure if I
will or not)

or wherever these pages are stored?

Quite often when I'm browsing, I'll click on a link here and my entire
browser will start lagging.

I know it's not my connection though, simply because other internet
based services aren't affected by this "pfb-lag".


For example...
If I click on a pfb link and start to lag, all of my other tabs or
pages in safari will lag too

but my telnet mud (on a different port obviously) has no lag
whatsoever. and believe me that MUD is a sensitive puppy, it lags for
jsut about everything... except for this mystery PFB lag



am i the only one?

I personally think the link should go to *this* page, the "Current

It's a bit confusing the way it's organized now

and new people still post their suggestions to the archives because
they don't realize it's not the current suggestion box

I have a suggestion, and I'm making it here instead of the KT because
it is something that can't wait till the next meeting.

Maybe PFB could forgive any demerits that were handed out to people
whose comments were removed relating to the KT. I think that would be
fair and possibly help restore some harmony around here.

What do you think?

Is there a way to keep the letters on the Read all page longer? If
seems that there is only enough space for a certain number. ( I count
25 right now) If you write a letter, then there are a bunch more by
other people written that day, your letter wont be seen on that page.
If it isn't in the 15 minutes of Fame, you might never get seen. If
it doesn't get seen (with out having someone search for that topic),
how can other people know about the problem?

In the past, I and others have suggested omitting the portion of the
letter generator where the writer is prompted to fill in what they
would like the company to do. I always felt it was the reason for
some requests that almost seem to be added as an afterthought or
because it's required, and not necessarily what the letter writer
intended to ask for when they began writing the letter.

I don't recall seeing that part of the letter generator the last time
I wrote a letter. Was it indeed eliminated?

I don't know that this is a suggestion, but rather an observation. I
was going to write a letter to Tropicana Products, and I noticed the
CEO listed, Brock Leach, left in 2002.

Mr. Leach is evidently now off doing community service and studying in
the seminary.

I saw an angry letter a month or two ago from someone who was incensed
that the CEO information was not accurate for a company they wrote to.
I'm not incensed, never over fruit juice, but it made me curious.
With all the companies in your database, how do you keep it updated?
CEO's often come and go like the wind.

I'd prefer not to write a letter to Mr. Leach, since the topic is not
related to his tenure at Tropicana. His mind is on less consumer
related matters these days.

I've seen several letters where the letter writer is clearly
complaining... but had clicked on Compliment... and so they had a
giant smiley face next to the letter.


Perhaps in the coding it might be possible to change the color of one
of the words to help people see the difference... or maybe that giant
smile/frown face next to it.

granted there will be some still who won't read the difference.
and for those.....well they'll just amuse the rest of us when their
complaints are smiling. :)

I just happened to come across a discussion in Venice's blog, in which
Mr. Helpful addressed the content of blogs. It surprised *me*,
because I had never seen any such discussion or this issue discussed
in the past. Maybe I missed it. In my experience, the blog area was
strictly hands off in the past.

In reading a couple of Mr. Helpful's replies, it became evident that
the blog area is not the Wild West that I am pretty sure it used to
be. In the past, as far as I recall, you could post just about
anything imaginable. While the discussion I read seemed to focus on
criticism of this site or its management, it naturally leads one to
wonder about what other behavior may be inappropriate.

For example, in the mid-distant past, a member could say just about
anything about another member, but not in the letter area.

What I was wondering is if there is some way to bring the current
policy on blog comments, if it differs from the past or for that
matter letter comments, to the attention of the community at large.
If there is a difference in the scope of blog comments compared with
letter comments, could it be somehow described?

This may have been suggested before, but here goes....

Have you considered adding a third option to the site in terms of
sharing letters? I'm thinking perhaps an option to keep the letter
private, an option to share the letter (feedback) but not allow
comments, and an option to open your letter up for discussion?

After reading the numerous attempts the OP of the Qwest letter has
made to explain that she really just wanted to put the feedback out
there for others - maybe this would encourage others with similar
issues to write as well - but really was not interested in the opinion
of everyone who read her letter, even if the intent was to help (no
digs here, I see why she would want others to be aware of the issue
she has had), it occurred to me that maybe a third option was a good
idea. You could give letter writers an option to avoid the
(sometimes) drama and still cultivate the diverse discussion this site
seems to be known for, for those who want it.

I mentioned this in the TOS blog but I figured it might be good to
suggest it here as well.


Could we perhaps have a limited ability to edit our own posts?

Perhaps 5 minutes of edit time allowed, like what I've seen on other
sites?


That way those of us who are contentious about our spelling errors can
fix our mistakes. Personally I'm usually embarrassed when a simple
spelling error slips by me, & would love to be able to fix those
errors.


Or, perhaps, considering the new TOS ... one can save him or herself
from issues by editing, or even deleting posts that they have second
thoughts about.


Granted, yes... it would be nice to always think things through 100 %
before hitting the "post" button, but... given that we're humans and
prone to mistakes... It would be nice to have a limited option to fix
our own mistakes before PFB fixes them for us.


And of course, the "edit" function would only be limited, so people
can't go back and change history.

Is there anyway to contact PFB? by Bill R. Sun June 7, 2009 @ 1:05 PM

by The Original Nethead Posted Wed May 20, 2009 @ 5:50 PM

The search returns have little if any relevance to the search terms.


Search for United Parcel Service and you'll see what I mean. You get
random letters about bad service, but none about UPS. I'd just
written one to the company on Monday, but the search box didn't turn
it up. I did get complaints about Burger King, a company that doesn't
even take email complaints.

On a related note: If you try to write a letter to UPS, which is what
everyone calls it, the system doesn't know who UPS is. You have to
type in United Parcel Service, even though no one calls it that.
UPS.com doesn't come up either, even though that's their official
website. And forget trying to write to Land's End; I can't get
Planetfeedback' site to admit the company exists.

This may well have been suggested before, but I was thinking it would

a user's name is (if they are shared). That way you wouldn't have to
go find the Shared Letters link and type in the company name. You
could be viewing a letter, and then, if it struck your fancy, you
could click right on the company's name and see their other letters.

Dear Ford manufacturers,
I'm glad to see that you do not need a loan right now
from the government.
I would like to see you manufacture 2 more types of
cars for good mile/gal. If you could build a 1200cc
model and a 1600cc model. They would give more than
35 miles/gallon (city driving). 8 valves 4 cylinder.
To get good milage the valves should be small.
The price should be under $10,000 U.S.

The censorship here is getting ridiculous. I had a comment deleted for
absolutely no good reason. All I did is tell the letter writer getting
overcharges 60 cents is in no way horrific. From what I've seen only
certain people get picked on and censored. The "regulars" are allowed
to post freely but the rest of us are unfairly censored.

Thank you for letting me express my frustration. Happy Holidays!

First time viewer/registrant to your site and I think it's terrific!

And after reading so many "events" posted, I would like to propose
that PLANET FEED BACK consider taking these issues to another level.
Specifically, if one individaul has an "issue" it's just one
person.......if 100 or 1000 have the same issue, then "its an
epidemic!".....

Proposal: Establish a committee to begin handling "issues" within
reason and. if validated, and necessary,initiate/approve action to
take it to the next level.......and by that I mean, what would 100 or
1000 phone calls/or e-mails do if they all were initiated
simultaneously? Or, if it were just KNOWN by the contributor that the
"possibility" existed? And, no, I'm not proposing violence at all but,
remember this, somewhere right now there is a helpless individual
who's a victim of the present indifference by corporations/government
and although we're all potential "victims" where are our friends?

Thanks for listening/viewing.........let's all go forward! I'm for
it!

Would it be possible to add a way that we can follow up or show
resolution on our complaints. For example, Verizon responded very
quickly to my complaint, and worked with me very quickly to see that I
walked away from the situation.

A poster feedback section allowing us to show that the company
either..
1. Never responded back at all
2. Responded, but not to our satisfaction
3. Responded and made everything right.


It just seems that credit should be given where credit is due, and
unless a user takes the time to read all the replies, they have no way
of telling (by just reading the initial complaint letter) if the
situation was resolved in a positive manner.

Is there a reason that the same 25 profiles show consistently? I
understand that it reads that these are randomly chosen by a computer
program, but I think the program is either turned off or just not
working.
I think everyone's names/profiles should be rotated on a regular
basis.
I have never seen donno; Nate; and calmsly listed on there at all
along with many others who consistently post comments in here.
Maybe the name of this column should be changed to "top 25 who post
comments and then let it rotate on a regular basis.

Why was my comment on the "American Express Lowered My Credit Limit"
letter deleted? It's okay for that letter writer to throw around the
word rape to describe being ripped off but not okay for me to be
offended? Since you obviously support the disgusting and ignorant
practice of using the word rape as casual slang for "ripped off" and
"scammed" you can bet I will never step foot on this site again. Think
I'm overreacting? If you were a rape survivor you'd understand.

I just noticed that we have a second Michelle O here on

same name - only capitilization is different. Is there no cross check
when new users choose their names? Although I don't yet disagree much
with anything #2 has said, I have been very careful not to get
involved in the political conversations and don't want anyone to
confuse our opinions.

I assume my only option here is to choose another name. If the
spelling or spacing was different I wuld understand, but simply a lack
of capitilization shouldn't allow identical screen names, IMO.

I don't even know if you guys look at these suggestions any more, but
I just had some feedback I wanted to share, and I didn't think it
warranted writing a letter for it.

I wanted to say that I'm glad that PFB is sticking true to their TOS
and enforcing things better. I like that they are protecting letter
writers' opinions. I think this is a good thing.

However, I think some things have gotten out of hand, especially with
the recent Lowe's letter. The huge exchanges between commenters, the
OP and the PFB team has just left a bad taste in my mouth. I get why
people are mad at the letter writer for some of his or her's comments.
I totally agree with the PFB team and them trying to get people to
stop nitpicking the OP on that issue.

I am just getting this feeling that the PFB team is out to get some
commenters. I mean...the whole PFB experience seems to have changed
for me--and it isn't for the better. I do like the new rules, but all
this squabbling and fighting...it's getting annoying. It seems like it
pops up on more and more letters. I don't know how to word it any
better...I understand that naturally, the team would always be on the
letter writer's side, no matter want...since this is your website and
it wouldn't be good for the PFB team to disagree with a letter and say
so, I just think that you guys are really forcing it sometimes. Ah, I
don't know how else to say it, sorry.

I wanted to tell you guys all of this and I hope you don't mind.
Please keep up the good work.

When someone writes a letter to a business that no longer exists but
was taken over by or merged with another business is the letter
forwarded on to the correct entity.

For example, if someone writes to BellSouth, does it automatically go
to AT&T? If not, can a note be put next to the now defunct entity,
ie: BellSouth, advising the letter writer not to use and to use AT&T?

Just a quick glance through the letter generator found entries for
BellSouth, Ameritech, PACBell, Southwestern Bell Telephone and SNET
which are all part of AT&T now.

On August 25,2008 I was in the Colonie store purchasing a television

I would suggest very strongly that your employees that work on the
phones, dealing with extended warranties attend training classes on
attitude and courtesy.
A more efficient solution to that problem might be to send Bryan from
your Colonie store to train these nasty people.
Having had to make three trips to Colonie because your employees that
work on the phones are somewhere in never-never land left me in a less
then happy frame of mind. Had it not been for Bryan and his
professionalism this may have been sent to the attorney general and

Currently, a letter writer can choose to have his/her letter shared
and publicly viewed and commented on, or keep it private and only the
company sees it. Given a recent site member's frustration over every
single kind of comment people make, maybe one solution for sensitive
people would be to offer a "post my letter so people can read it but
don't allow comments" option.

*I* don't like it, but it's a possible solution. Just a thought.

get an automated email whenever anyone replies to anything I post.

I realize PFB uses a very unique format, however, is here anything in
the software that would allow at least the letter writer to get an
email notification that someone has responded to their letter?

This is in response to my own comments in my blog a few months ago, as
well as a PFB reply today. Many, many letter writers never come back
and post. I have to wonder if they are even aware of the responses to
their letters and how much quality interaction is being missed?

I am not one of PFB's favorite members. I am aware of this, and
certainly understand that my comments are not appreciated by all
(though I do maintain that I have every right to make them).

However, no matter how controversial my views are, I do NOT harrass
random members of PFB. My comments are general or directed towards
the OP.

PFB member Norma Rae is apparently on a mission to harrass as many
people as possible for irrelevant reasons. I have had many, many of
my comments removed almost immediately by administrators. These same
administrators are apparently ignoring Norma Rae and her constant
sniping at PFB members and their comments.

Either you mod all or you mod none. Decide, and do something about
this woman. She is not using PFB as it was intended to be used, and
if you're going to target me for my comments, you certainly need to do

I posted a letter tonight, and when it was all done, the informational
box to the right of the screen indicated that the letter had NOT been
shared. Hmmm. I could have sworn I checked the appropriate box, and
one purpose of the letter was to spread the good word about a
wonderful product.

I decided to start over. I copied the body of the letter, zipped
through the initial "start a letter" process, pasted in my letter
w/out a hitch, carefully checked the "share my letter" box, and the
same thing happened: The site said my letter hadn't been shared. But
when I checked the widget, the first one was posted.

Just thought I'd give you a heads up about it, in case you were

Where is "THE Complaint Box??" Why is it so easy to complain and
nearly impossible to report back action taken on the complaint?? And
what is with the cryptic navigation options??? I went in to read my
complaint and update the action/response and can't seem to easily do
so.
I then went in search of "help" do you have a help button?? Do you
have an equally responsive feedback system?? Should members create a
feedback site to complain about you?? Why do I have to BLOG my
concerns in hopes of a repsonse?? who runs this site?

How does one use the avatar function?

I see how to click to pick a file. I see that it has to be a JPEG or
PNG. I see that it has to be less than 2 MB. I presume that it can't
violate anyone's copyright (although there are plenty of people's
avatar's that do). I see where it shows the file I selected and says
"Pending Authorization." I see where, a day later, my old
one is back. Even if I select to remove the old one, the old one
comes back.

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, so is there a place I can go to
read further information on the rules and procedures for avatars?

So that I can stop harping on it, I'll ask: are people required to
register with their real names?

There have been a few letters, recently, posted with obviously fake
names (e.g., "OhYeah B.") or without names (it just shows as
" ."). These are letters that have been popular and have
been seen (and even commented on) by PF staff.

I don't care. Actually, I think it makes sense NOT to display
someone's real first name on a shared letter. If people can comment
with a nickname, you might as well let them post shared letters with
that nickname.

Obviously, whether PF choose to send letters with fake names (I'm
aware that you give letter writers the option to withhold their
contact information from a letter) is a decision that is none of my
business.

I just want to know what the policy is.

Thanks.

On Feb. 11 I sent a letter to united airlines about the bad experience
my sister had at the LA airport. Besides being delayed for over 11
hours there were no customer representatives available and the gate
agents were rude and did not seem to care about the passengers that
had been delayed and missed their connecting flight. United Airlines
responded right away and offered her a voucher for her next travel.
Thank you planetfeedback. You have helped me in the past and have

In April 2007 I purchased 4 tires from PepBoys. You had a mail-in
rebate for buy 3 get 1 free. I have not yet received my rebate. Just
like other customers, I received the same explanation that there
wasn't any record of this transaction. Since then I have faxed a copy
of my receipt to the Resubmit Dept and called to check the status of
my rebate. I was again told that there was no record. I then went back
to PepBoys to get another rebate form and sent it in as instructed by
your customer service dept. It is now Feb 2008 and I still have not
received my rebate. What is going on with your system and/ or
employees that I'm waiting almost a year for $58.99?

Out of curiousity (and boredom), I did a Google search of posts that
included the word "sucks". Of course I found tons but what
suprised me was the number of old complaints, some from 2004, that
were still generating responses. I found dozens. The nature of the
comments led me to think that many of these people thought they were
making a complaint of their own.

It seems many of these people come here by doing their own Google
search with the name of the company and the word "sucks".
Many of these posters had valid complaints but, because they are
unsure about how the site works, they will not get to the right place.


Is there any way that we can let them know the correct way to post
their problem? I don't know if it could be accomplished by either
closing the thread to comments with some kind of link that says
"Having a problem with ABC Company, click here to post a
letter" or just inserting that statement (or something similar)
in letters that include certain buzz words. Something in the body of
the complaint like you put in the survey requests would work.

I'm open to suggestions from my fellow PFB commenters but I think this
would generate some additional, valid traffic to the site.

Could the Suggestion Box link be made so that it jumps to the current
Suggestion Box. As I write this, I'm thinking, "someone must
have already written about this." I'm not up to reading the
entire box, though I guess the powers that be have to do that.

It is fairly confusing to hit the link and be faced with all the old
letters. Once you stumble across the link embedded at the top, you
are on your way, but life could be easier...

It must be a very hard job to read every letter and every comment.
(I'm not being sarcastic)

However, I've seen examples where something that's out-and-out
offensive is left, while something that's borderline is quickly
whisked off.

So that I'm not speaking for others, I'll give a personal example.

Rather quickly, a comment I posted giving the URL to Hallmark's web
site (a known site that's not malicious and clearly is not me
advertising) was removed within a matter of hours. Without
notification or explanation.

On the other hand, a letter that uses profanity ("Lease Fiance
LLC Fraudelent Billing/Accounting Actions") has been left
standing for over 30 hours.

I'm not calling "unfair" because I admit I goofed up (albeit
without knowing). I'm simply saying that removal of content appears
random.

If you Google the f-word on planetfeedback, you get 72 hits. 53 hits
for the s-word. And a small handful of that most-offensive c-word.

True, some are in the free-for-all "user blog" section. But
certainly not all.

I will assume that someone complained about my use of a URL (for a
well known company that was the subject of the OP's letter) and that
no one has notified you about the letters/comments filled with racism,
sexism, anti-antisemitism, and profanity.

So, I'd like to reiterate my suggestion (that Pete apparently liked)
of having some mechanism for having content (be it a comment or a
letter) that's offensive or otherwise troublesome. It need not be as
complex as my bluesky proposal. But it should also not be allow for
capriciousness.

I see a lot of misplaced letters to Verizon. Many people don't
realize that Verizon is actually three separate entities, Verizon
Wireless, Verizon Online and Verizon. Is it possible to include this
information in the letter generator:

Verizon Wireless- Cell Phone
Verizon- Local telephone service and FiOS
Verizon Internetworking - DSL

A letter complaining about DSL service sent to Verizon Wireless will
not get a response.

I also like the new ratings page, including the section on the left
side of the screen which links previous letters for that particular
company.

One suggestion though: Would it be possible to have a hyper link to
the company's ratings page just below the title of a particular
letter? For example:

Title: Not Satisfied With Target

I gotta say, I really like your new ratings page. I especially like
that I can read the last 5 letters to any given company and PFB's
assessment of this company (like for McDonald's). The Top 25 letters
for each category is fun too... oh the walk down memory lane I had
when I rediscovered the "Gay Pride at Disney World" letter.
:)

I'm planning on making some sizeable purchases this year (new laptop,
digital camera, camcorder) and this is going to make it much easier to
do my homework before making these purchases.

Thanks PFB.

The "Pictures of the filth served as food to customers in Memphis"
letter at first had a link to a personal photo website. Eventually,
the link was deleted. This happened in another letter recently as
well.

I'm just curious so whether this is against a PFB letter policy or
something. If so, perhaps the letter-writing process could contain
verbage to that effect?

I know that at one site at which I hang out, no links are allowed
because that's the deal the site owners made with the advertisers --
so no one could post a link that competes against the advertisers on
the site. (Makes sense to me!)

I'm just curious. THank you!
