Prohibiting "slandering" of vendors as part of TOS

[OutandBack]

I think he's suggesting that the creation of a sticky of that nature would be beneficial.

EDIT: There are stickies pointing to "HF Vendor Guidelines" in some of the older vendor sub forums. But they direct to broken links (probably were not redirected after the site update). The newer sub forums do not have stickies.

Got it, thanks!

I have asked the mod team to look into the broken links and stickies.
Great find thank you.

My understanding is that any stickies out there refer to guidelines about how vendors should act on the forum. I'm not aware of a generic sticky, prominently displayed in vendor forums, that recommends how customers manage business with said vendors. I think such a sticky could reduce the number of dubious or invalid complaints where people then pile on the OP, by educating prospective new customers on how to research their purchase and set realistic expectations before a transaction begins.

See my posts earlier in the thread for more details or justification of the idea.

I looked at a few stickies most of which only contain a link to an old copy of the HF TOS which is no longer a public post. We can and will clean up the stickies after the discussion here draws to an end.
