Title: Suppliers Poll
Post by: Steve Gunn on February 19, 2011, 01:13:04 pm

On another forum I use they have a supplier poll where it allows members to give their reviews about the suppliers, there is no problem for members to post about any supplier quality even if it is negative. This way it ensures that all members will be warned before they use an unreliable supplier and save their money.Best deals are not always common knowledge and the poll gives the opportunity for them to be aired by the members.

Blatant advertising is not allowed no personal attacks are allowed either its a case of whether it be delivery arrived late,package not packed well etc etc .It would cover window cleaning,carpet suppliers etc etc

The poll is reset every 3 months so it keeps suppliers on their toes,any views whether it would work or would it not be allowed due to boards policy on advertising?

i think its a brill idea but suppliers would have to be informed with a right to reply.

You don't it has to be heavily moderated so advertising does not slip through the net but then their is no reason to lie if you receive good service you say so if you don't then you say so,too many suppliers are getting away with charging ridiculous postage costs,prices way above other suppliers for same bits and pieces (I was quoted £22 for a male quick connect )

It's all about trust

I would imagine it is up to the board owners whether the poll could be placed at the top of each section of the board.After all they are suppliers as well
