Are you (the forum members) looking for a solution to 90 pages of bias, supposition and rehashed prior bad acts?
I see lots of mudslinging, pissing and moaning, righteous indignation and justified butt-hurt, none of that solves a problem.
I have an idea, might suck, they often do.
Start a new thread or even sub forum: "I had my chainsaw ported by"
customers post about their experience with the porter and saw in question, only others with a saw ported by the same individual can contribute to the thread, not mods, not builders, not fanboys, cheerleaders and trolls
would require a heavy hand to delete the detritus regularly and vacations for those found in violation, perhaps several baby-mods who could approve posts in the section selectively to keep horseshittery from hitting the airwaves
leave the good the bad and the ugly there for all future customers to see
a motherf4cker like myself might go on in bloviated fashion for pages with pictures and videos and pie charts and another buyer might just say "I give the saw a 9 out of 10, but the builder smells funny"
no response from the builders allowed, if a problem is fixed satisfactorily let the buyer say so
the section should also have a sticky entitled - "so you want a ported chainsaw" that lays out what a buyer should reasonably expect and what they should do on their end and what to tell the builder before the transaction
providing reasonable guidance to prospective buyers can add a reputation of fairness and helpfulness and make a better customer at the same time
A hearty GFY to all, and to all a good night
