Disgusting behaviour by campertrailer manufacturers

[Ynot]

It is shameful that some manufacturers will do whatever they can to stop consumers from speaking out.

Unfortunately the balance of comments here are usually in support of models and a lot of owners should feel disgruntled, and if they believe that their manufacturer behaves in this way should contact them to discuss.

I am fully supportive of the My Swag team and will make sure that my right to choose as a consumer will be exercised!

Don't mention their name anymore. Lets call them Voldermort!

The first rule of Brand X, is we don't talk about Brand X.

You've got to be quick it seems......

Missed it all I think.

Nothing like a good scrap from behind the keyboard, or va the lawyers !!!

In my day, you met up behind bike shed or in the sand pit?

So in the future when someone asks a question re 'those who shall not be named', and you have to delete or deny the thread topic, that denial or deletion doesn't then tell a story? Don't envy the position this has put you in, but agree you have to act or have legal action taken.

Sad that any vendor would see this as a good course of action. Maybe a more positive/proactive action would have been to support the threads and respond to the questions or queries. this is what I see on many 4wd forums, and while the vendor may not like seeing the feedback, they have generally acted professionally and replied/responded as best they could.

Bloody dodgy companies out there these days. Can't say I can ever recommend a company that behaves in a certain way to anyone.

Some mouldy rotten tomatoes and rotten eggs by the carton should be enough to get the point across. Well, across the front windows at least

No mention of the three letter word that is now forbidden. 

Rather sad really.................

Maybe we need a 'code word' or such for the 3 letter camper manufacture builder that we can no longer mention by name.........

Suggestions welcome!!

Hi Guys,

Just for info, for those who don't know I am the President of the Pathfinders Club of Australia, like Brett I also received a letter from the same solicitor today complaining about my forum. I would urge all My Swag members not to mention the particular Camper Trailer Manufacturers name on this forum as right or wrong you will only cause trouble for the Forum administrator

cheers

and 'vodermort' believes this kind of stunt is better suited, lmao, love to see one of these cases actually get to court, dodgy companies ( not necessarily voldermort) are very much in the publics interest, next it will be anyone  who post's resturant  reviews on there facebook page

Voldertmort, I already mentioned it, he who can't be spoken of!

Harry potter fans will appreciate.

The sad part is instead of working with the owner, and keeping up advertising for their product, they would rather do this....

I'll use the wayback machine site to see wht was said originally

Im not a fan, but thought that it was a pretty good analogy haha.
In all seriousness though, I for one am pretty pissed about the situation. And the reason more so than anything is that in my mind the mods and admin have on this particular topic tried to be fair and reasonable. AND this STILL happens.
At the end of the day though, we all as swaggers must do what we can that is in the best interest of MYSWAG as a form of social networking that we use and appreciate. If that means sucking it up and not mentioning Voldertmort, so that Brett and others don't cop any further form of burden by these special bunch of ingrates then that is what we must do.

this thread is discussing them, and also describing them in not the best way.. I'd suggest this thread goes the way of the doe doe or it could be more letters for the owner....

[fireguard]

Had a look at the thread listed on the letter.... Google search then look a the cache..... didn't look like anything out of the ordinary....     it looked more like voldermort dug the thread up and stated getting defensive....

Don't think this kind of behaviour does the brand any favours....

[cruisindub]

wikipedia is great.........

So far, theres been no mention of the 3 letter camper trailer builder/distributor who can no longer be named, In a positive or negative way on myswag.org, so no fear on any further such letters.

Sad day for myswag.org and undue grief caused for the administrators, but it could have been handled better and been better advertising for them, but now.............  it just goes further downhill.

You could always use one of our terms....Goona pilki......and I will not translate that here, but it is not very nice at all.

The thing is if voltermolt, actually just improved their business they wouldn't have to go to lawyers.  So now when someone joins and ask about, we all say, sorry we are not allowed to talk about them. That's good business practice.

The hardest part will be moderating it daily.

[nick_4x4]

Its sad that the named can put more effort into shutting down a public post of feedback then they do in fixing any of the issues they have with the product.

I could say a lot more about those who shall not be named but i think the admins have it all covered.
