To All PlanetFeedback Users

Thanks.

I can't resist grabbing "comment #200" on this thread and just say
thanks to all for the comments below. On PlanetFeedback, you can
never entirely predict where the discussion will lead. As I've said
in a couple other posts, I respectfully ask that we continue working
together to improve the overall quality of our "conversation" about
consumer feedback to companies.

-Pete, Founder, PlanetFeedback

Well I see an awful lot of people defending their positions, and
saying the criticism OP's get for their letters is helpul.
I know of one letter in which someone noted a problem, and appealed to
users to tone down that criticism, and return to the principles for
which the site was founded.
Yeah, his name was Pete if I recall correctly, and he's a founder of
Planetfeedback.
Y'all still think there's no problem?

Pete & Greg, I've been getting e-mails from a gentleman who says
you're having a problem with my posts regarding Motel 6, are deleting
them and if I don't quit, I could get into serious trouble - do you
know anything about this?
Thanks

I completely agree with donno's post, and now realize that blkwidow
not only doesn't understand the purpose of this site, but she doesn't
know how to physically use it either. For someone so concerned with
comments, you'd think she would have figured out how to post them by
now. Her comments below are redundant and all over the place, making
it look like her only purpose here is pursuing a mission that she
somehow thinks is her responsibility. There's no point in having a
discussion with a closed-minded person who just keeps repeating the
same thing over and over. She may have a valid point in there
somewhere, but if no one cares enough to listen anymore because she
can't keep them interested, it's just a waste of time.

It appears that this site is being used inappropriately.

Recently a poster with the handle blkwidow has been posting
accusations about the regular users of this site. blkwidow has also
been making statements that letters that have been widely regarded as
without merit are in fact valid. However, blkwidow fails to give any
evidence to support his/her opinion. Instead, blkwidow resorts to
attacks on the people commenting on said letters (aka "the regulars"),
calling them "morons" and "idiots".

In addition, blkwidow fails to understand how the site works. Even
though blkwidow uses the term "regulars", blkwidow doesn't seem to
know the term means these people are indeed regular members who offer
feedback. Witness the complaint blkwidow has made that the regulars
are consistently found to give feedback, as if it is an inapproprite
use of the site (!).

Finally, blkwidow has chosen inappropriate venues for posting his/her
complaints. While blkwidow should have opened their own profile and
created a blog (or posted a complaint to PFB), blkwidow hijacked this
thread to make an attack on the regular members of the site. Such
opportunistic behavior should not go unnoticed.

While a site such as Planet Feedback must be open and public by
design, I implore all regular members to be on the lookout for rogue
character assassins of blkwidow's ilk.

Thank you for your wonderful post. You have hit the nail right on the
head. A few abusive posters have ruined Planet Feedback. Over and
over again, they ridicule and abuse posters who have come to Planet
Feedback for advice. Instead of just constructively disagreeing with
the posters, they engage in ridicule and name calling. One has to
wonder what is wrong with a person whose chief form of entertainment
is anonomyously ridiculing consumers on the internet.

Isn't it ironic that the worst abusers are the same ones complaining
about your post. What hypocrites and crybabies. They spend all their
time ridiculing and name calling on this site, and when someone dares
to call them on it, they pounce like hyenas whining about being
subject to criticism.

Many thanks to you for telling it like it is.

Look at the volume of letters written in a day. Tire stores, car
manufacturers, cell phone companies, restaurants, gas stations,
grocery stores, department stores, cable companies, internet
providers, airlines, yada yada yada.

If you want to stop in here and say the site is ruined, that is fine,
but I am curious as to what measure you are applying.

Why is your profile private? Why don't you open it up so we can see
the letters you have contributed? Give us access to your constructive
feedback.

Let's see, I've been written off as hopeless, called redundant, a
waste of time, no point in having a conversation with, closed-minded,
obtuse, unwise, mouth blaring (sorry for the caps) failing to
understand the site, opportunisitic behavior and total freak. Now my
favorite one was the "hijacked this thread to make an attack on the
regular members of the site". Didn't know it was a club with a
membership. Oh yes, I was told to exit also. Is this a private club?
I get it, this is part of their charm.

Since you aren't in my home. Unless you are hiding someplace.
checkmate is his own person. Totally separate from me. Honestly, I
don't know checkmate. Be assured, we are not the same person.

How come no one posted a 6 paragraph letter of complaint about the
site being down, asking for compensation?

also it was kicking me over to a complimentary gift card post for the
gift card scam post. thought a hacker got to the system lol

thank you it is working fine now, though I thought I screwed up my
computer. whooo!

And that now I was being cut off. I am relieved it was not just me,
but am sorry the whole site is having problems.

Thanks, guys, fur all your work.

Thank you for all your hard work in getting this site back on it's
feet. I was going stir crazy! ;)

I'm just glad it's not my computer. I was about ready to throw the
harddrive out the window.

Thanks for letting us know the problem isn't at our end.

Thanks...when yahoo has a problem they blame our computers

Nothing is coming through on RSS feeds, or is it that there is no one
complaining lately?

Seems to be working nicely from here. Thanks for all that feverish
work - it is greatly appreciated. :)

YAY!!!!

It's working wonderfully now ~ even the "expand all" feature works.
It's fast again and I can read everything.

Thanks guys for your diligence in getting things fixed!

Thanks for the update! Makes me realize just how much I love and miss
this site when it's down!!!!

Pete and Greg,
Thanks for the update and HAPPY NEW YEAR.
