They\'re spying on us

I spoke to a mobo dealer yesterday who told me that he keeps a regular eye on what's said on this forum. That's the second one I've talked to who does that. Better be careful what we say about them /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
 
Re: They\'re spying on us

yer - I know him ... useless ********* .... talks it all up to you when you're trying to sell, then tells the punters that you're desperately trying to sell as you've lost your job and in the middle of a messy divorce ... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

tell them to post on here

[/ QUOTE ]

I did but one reckons he couldn't post anonymously and would have to declare his position and the company he worked for. After that anything he said could be construed to be on behalf of his company and, therefore, there are potential legal issues for his company. The other bloke reckons he learns more by just reading the shite we write about them
 
Re: They\'re spying on us

I posted on here not long ago about a trim tab problem, and half an hour later I had a phone call from Nick @ essex boatyards.

I bought a boat from them once but no connection to my user name I was shocked when he called, nice guy very helpfull.

Next boat I buy will prob be from him like the targa 38, just waiting for another drop in the market

Re: They\'re spying on us

I can see their point. However, it didn't stop some influential people in the marine world posting here in the past. MDL springs to mind, as a company who poked head above parapet when nothing but [--word removed--] was being posted about them, and John and later Jon, came on here and gave their positions very successfully, and gained huge respect by doing so.
 
Re: They\'re spying on us

Yup, FL factory and EBY read the forum frequently - they've told me they do. I expect this is the most active forum of users of their category of boat in Europe?

I gotta say it doesn't worry me. I never stop to think they might be reading when I type here. Most of what folks write here is in between other things at work etc and it is typed quickly without much caution, which is a good thing imho. There's always the edit function or an apology if you say something you shouldn't have :-)
 
Re: They\'re spying on us

I can assure you the majority of the trade regularly read the forum, in fact more of the trade come and see me on the stand at shows to comment about certain posts than forum members..
 
Re: They\'re spying on us

we've said we are at ...... on here, greeted, and given some freebie stuff, also said we've had this problem and that, yes, it is most certainly read by dealers, marine workers, and boat repairers.

Marine workers in particular, as to what we are up to, why do we do it, and spend so much money doing it /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
 
Re: They\'re spying on us

I could not possibly comment! But I think they take the feedback more seriously than some folk think on here. Off home now its snowing, London will come to a standstill in appox five mins from now

I had a phone call from a particular broker after I whinged about their treatment of me on here..... not to complain to me, but to address the problem... so a positive impact...

[/ QUOTE ]
I had an email from an insurance company. They too were interested in the problem and any possible resolution - very positive and altered my view of them.
 
Re: They\'re spying on us

Re: They\'re spying on us

I think the following are all wonderful organisations and i can't speak too highly about any of them.

Princess
Fairline
Sunseeker
Sealine
Etc
Etc

Musto
Henri lloyd

Raymarine
Garmin
Rocna

All of them have given great service and their customer care is faultless. If anything their prices are too low, I would gladly pay double to get the sort of quality they provide.

They are all beyond praise.


































If any of them happen to look in on this thread then please PM me for my home address. Weekends is generally best for me for deliveries.
 
Re: They\'re spying on us

The 2 posts which irritated the chap I spoke to yesterday concerned a complaint about the way a poster was treated on a LIBS exhibition stand (not Fairline) and a recent post concerning the repo of a boat, both of which he thought were unfair but, then again, if he's not willing to put his head above the parapet, he can't really complain
I agree though. I would like to see more industry people posting on here
