A friend of mine was banned for 30 days for speaking about something a member told her (in which was ros i assume) i dont think thats fair. Why should the girl be banned or punished when she did not ask for the info to be told to her? She should have the right to defend her self right?

I always thought the proper defense in that situation is to tell the mods who gave her that information. That way he gets the punishment, not her.
I also seem to remember reading a long time ago that it is OK to share a review with a provider before it is posted, but not after. Even by the person that wrote it.

I would like to see that link that says its ok to do that.I would seriously have to question the integrity of any review that is shared with the provider... but that is just me...... sixx

In fact, the concept of ROS exists because it allows for sharing of information without possibility of back and forth between the hobbyist and provider, reducing drama. If hobbyist doesn't give a shit, then the entire review could be done without ROS (aside from legal details).
