I don't have a dog in this fight but there are flaws that I see with allowing NCNS postings to be valued as credible reviews. Don't get me wrong, I want to know about a NCNS prone provider just like the next guy so I can avoid wasting my time, but not at the expense of a provider who doesn't deserve such negativity. Examples of some potential issues in having NCNS threads being treated as reviews:
- If a guy simply had it in for a certain provider, he could post an untrue NCNS "review" and damage the providers reputation.
- What if there was a mix up? Not all appointments are confirmed to the degree that a mature hobbyist and provider might confirm them.
- What if something happens in the area that simply makes the provider feel uncomfortable and she therefore bails on the appointment and goes UTR for a short period of time?
I would dare say that most hobbyists who have been in the hobby for a long time have been stood up. I know that I have (and by some very respected providers over the years) and it is very frustrating.
Now let's all blow off some steam and go get laid!
