scam forum
Would be nice to have here (webhostingtalk.com) forum where people can declare scams overs the net.
Hope such forum help to avoid problems in web business with unreliable peoples. We have an hard experience in the past and guess it will be useful for all.
What do you think?0

i think its a great idea, especially since the search feature is disabled, a scam forum would allow people to quickly see if their host is legit, and then be on their way. Rather than slowing it down looking thru every thread.

Yeesh, it's disabled for a day and people discuss like it's been disabled for a decade. Search will be re-enabled shortly.

Your suggestion will be taken into consideration of the next WHT revolution.
j/k. By the way, it sounds like a good idea.0

Good idea, but it would have to have some pretty heavy moderation. They would have to make sure someone is not just flaming a host without any proof or just cause.
Then again, we see the scam threads scattered throughout WHT anyways, so maybe having them all in one place would actually make it easier to monitor.

I agree that it's quite the challenge to properly monitor that type of forum. But aren't we seeing those threads anyways, scattered throughout?

If all the forum suggestions that I have seen suggested since I have been here were put into place, we would have to scroll down for miles to see them all. That's without taking into account the country specific suggestions.
And vito, someone usually reports the scam type ones when it starts looking bad, so they do get monitored.0

Bad idea I think - too hard to confirm that sort of information at the best of times.
example:
"absolut stole my bicycle and kick puppies"
Now, beside your own side of the story who's going to confirm your puppy kicking habits or dismiss them?

"absolut stole my bicycle and kick puppies"
But I hate cats
Yes, actually too hard to prove scam. But if scam person harm to many people, the situation will be as with "Jay Tokarz".
We worked with him (about 2 months) and he don't pay for this job anything... Now you can check in google with "Jay Tokarz", and you will see several sites with "Jay Tokarz - scam"
