Is it against the rules here to really rail on a LFS that robs folks??

Whether the name of the store is posted or not. Like mflamb posted once, just know that the local reefing community will share their stories (good and/or bad), either at LFS or at club meetings. This story will get out if it is posted or not. Shame on whoever "robbed" a fellow reefer.

Now that it is established as OK to do. The person this happened to will post their experience tonight.
And as said here allready. I hate to see it turn into a name calling immature thread. I just think it's only fair to let folks know the bad things about their LFS as well as the praise we heap upon them.

While the forums are a great place to share our experiences. Try to keep them positive. Too often I hear people say "they no longer follow the threads on RC because of the drama."
Fact is: There is very little drama compare to all the really great information and content offered here every day by fellow reefers.
A negative post may be helpful to some but will most likely have more then one point of view of what occurred; sometimes the events are mis-construed, if told second hand. You should first consider asking the store owner his/her side and offer the store/vendor the chance to come up with a solution before posting publicly. Even then it would likely create some sort of drama IMHO.
If the place happens to be one of the TBRC sponsors, consider asking one of the BOD's to call them to help clear-up a dispute prior to posting. If it's just bad business practices and can't be resolved, my experience is they won't last long and word will get around anyway.
Again IMHO try to keep posts positive.

I don't see any reason for this thread to continue. If someone has first-hand experience and wishes to post it, they may do so.
As for the comment that criticism of a sponsor will result in closure of a thread, we have threads both positive and negative about all businesses, including sponsors. As long as the threads don't violate the User Agreement, they normally remain open. The problems usually arise when people with no first-hand knowledge start jumping on the thread just to bash someone.
