Oh wow! Wish you'd asked earlier, as my memory has since forgotten the specifics. I 'do' know a post was deleted. It was reason #6 under my post "why some' posts get removed.
A member with a several bad reviews reinvented himself, and then blasted (that is putting it mildly) 3 members, who had given him a bad review. It was so 'over the top' it was scary, and I'm fairly sure (almost positive) that member's IP is now blocked.

how honest are people on the rate and review forum
Q
Comments (7)
Christine, I think people are pretty honest on the R&R. Sometimes reviews aren't too specific though. Like someone can be a great seed exchanger and not be so hot at plants. So you could see a "great, prompt trader" but not know what the trade was for. I try to remember to specify if the trade was for plants or seed. People who refer to getting burned are often referring to the time before the rate and review forum. That forum isn't that old in the history of GW. Before the forum there was no system in place to know who to trade with or not. I don't ask anyone who has good reviews to send their end first. I saw a post where a person said that anyone responding would have to send their end first and I got turned off by that idea. Maybe though they didn't realize that veteran traders like myself would find it insulting to suggest that. I only ask that of new people that I get an uneasy feeling about. Sometimes, I would actually send my end first to a new person who felt unsure of how to pack. That is what prompted me to to make the photobucket pictorial on how to pack plants. I always ask for people to post to my offers even if it is just a "Sending you an email." If someone else I know sees a bad trader posting to my post, they can inform me to be cautious about sending anything. Remy

About searching on Rate and Review forum
Q
Comments (4)
Actually there are 3 search boxes on that page, only one of which is the correct one to use. The one to use is just below the list of threads there on page one, and it defaults to just searching that forum. There is also one at the very top in the green banner, and that is not one to use, because as you said, it searches all of the many forums and brings up all of their posts. There is also one at the very bottom, just 'above' the green banner and that is also not to be used if wanting to search just the Rate and Review Forum. Here is a bit more explanation about the Instructions and it covers where the right search box is found. Special Instructions for the Forum It would certainly be nice if the 2 boxes that do not apply to searching that forum were removed. I know a lot of members don't likely find the right one, which results in multiple threads being started. Remy had come up with the idea for some FAQ (frequently asked questions) for the forum and a thread was started for it. She volunteered to try and get them together with the help of input from members. I'll go revive the thread and maybe she can find the time to work on them sometime when the snow is blowing this winter. FAQS for Rate & Review Forum Sue Rate and Review Forum

If you don't read the tomato forum and live in the NE
Q
Comments (21)
I have my fingers crossed - no problems yet - I plant most my indeterminate tomatoes fourteen inches apart and all are staked to a single stem. Have plants approaching 7 feet tall. Have removed all lower one third to half of the lower leaf branches leaving only the fruit branches intact. Number two with the lower leaf branches removed - if i water which wasn't needed much this summer - I never - repeat never spray water on leaves whether tomato or potato - directing only to the base of the plant and ground surrounding. Since tomatoes love carrots I have two rows of carrots planted in the space normally covered by tomato leaves. Will keep posted if a blight appears but so far Im lucky

I would love it more if more people would leave feedback. I sometimes wonder if anybody thinks twice that I have received 7 comments, but I've left over 30... lol. "Hmmm, that Terri... she's sure happy with what she gets, but apparently nobody likes what she's sending."

I tell people I'm leaving them feedback in the R&R when I email to tell them I got their seeds, hoping that'll inspire them... but I refuse to beg. ;-)

But otherwise, yes I do love R&R. It was necessary.

I know what you mean. I write a positive review and then when I'm emailing them that I received my plants/seeds, I include a link to the thread/post I made...hint, hint.

Yikes...I just checked and I have posted here 93 times, yet only have 20 reviews. A lot of my posts were conversations, or pointing members threads to the original review thread....or clarifying a correct spelling on a members name, or, or, or.

They don't call me busy body Sue for nothing.
