Title: Volvo forum is back up
Post by: mantahatch on 29 March 2008, 21:52:01

Hi
For those with a passing interest the Volvo forum is back up, the one that closed due to possible legal threats. There are some nasty comments going back and forth.

I've read some of the posts, lets hope we don't get into the same situation.
Its nice to see the forum back up and running.

What doesn't make sense to me .. is the comments in the thread in the above link go from March 7th to March 19th ..... the forum closed AFTER that ...

There is a statement here dated yesterday ..

It's a mess, which is being exceptionally badly managed IMO.

This was easily avoidable.

Are we not simply sharing our experiences, which I assume could be supported by evidence in need be, we would not slag off any company without good reason would we. If we experience poor service at aparticular shop / garage why can we not say so. After all it is only our opinion. :)

i entirely agree,the right to have a good whinge when we feel like it should be set in stone  ;) but from looking at what happened on the volvo forum it is a bit worrying,solicitors and all that crap,it would be a great shame if the mods who obviously put in a great deal of hard work to make the forum what it is had to put up with that sort of nonsense at some time. but i guess that it is a matter for them to decide and give guidance on.

Yes, if they do not want us to mention any names then I will go with their advice. I enjoy this forum and do not want to get me or anyone else into trouble.
Think of letter to newspapers though, and car magazines, and I assume others, they often name and shame.
I will go with any advice or guidance from the admins, after all I am MF not LK ;D ;D ;D

I'd change the subject.

The situation at the VOC is ridiculous and should not be allowed to be seen as a precedent.
