Thanks for the comments but actually the admins and moderators here have almost never had to 'censor' or edit much, or 'ban' people.

One great thing about the membership of NE is the members will often step in and post themselves, to take it elsewhere or to cool down.

The best way for it to work.

HunterMontana,

Welcome to the NE forums.

It is always hard on the internet with incomplete facts at a 'distance' for people to judge whom is at fault when someone posts a negative report. But sometimes the actual participants post enough to make it pretty clear! And especially how they post.

Positive and negative reports can however be useful for prospective clients in choosing a potential service provider.

Sh*t happens sometimes, sometimes the client is at fault, and sometimes the outfitter. If the outfitter is at fault, how they remedy the situation oftens says more than the problem itself. I know of one outfitter (in NZ) whom has more than once offered a free future hunt to make up for unavoidable problems. And the two examples of know of for him, the clients took up the opportunities and I have heard many times this guy described as one of the top outfitters the clients have met. One time it was a 2x1 hunt and one of the clients was an arsehole and spoiled the hunt for the second guy. He confidentially offered the second client a free 1x1 hunt to make up and that is indeed service. Incidently he now only takes clients whom have hunted with him in the past and never has to advertise.

But to the topic on discussion which is committing to a hunt and an outfitter and THEN looking for references, it is MUCH BETTER to do it BEFORE paying a deposit!
