Gag Order?

So then the other companies have gag orders.

There is no "Gag Order". Not a good title for your thread. Kudos for CW/GS for even letting them be aired. Most companies would not do that.

Those people who are dealing with CW don't fall into a "Black Hole", they just have their problem solved, and forget about it.....and it's up to them, to let us know what happens.
I guess CW could have someone who writes a note telling you what they did, but then it seems as if they are patting themselves on the back, and someone would probably complain:)

Agree. People don't come back and post the results very often.

I had a problem with an item from camping world and posted a post to Marcus. He replied and told me who to contact. Problem was solved the same day. For me it was a great service.

The problem with the rest of the forum not getting the results is that we're not sure they were taken care of properly. Since Good Sam has a reputation for helping RVers who have gotten poor service or products and then writing about it in the magazine it makes you wonder if you're better off not dealing with Camping World because where would you then go for conflict resolution. Better for Camping World/Good Sam to make sure we hear things came out alright.

THEY 'added' these forums to hear the complaints. They have the link back to these CW and GS forums on everything they own. That is why you see a lot of new members posting their problems as their first post.

They bought something Affinity and when they encountered a problem the link to this forum is made available for them to post their problem. Of course they have to join the forum to post. I don't see anything wrong with these people posting their problem here since GS made this link available to them to do just that. It's an invitation from GS.

It shows what most of us have known and encountered for years. If you can't get results by calling the stores at least by posting it here they ARE getting results or at least an email from a GS rep.

Most don't join the forum for the fun of it they joined because that was the instructions given to use the link they were provided to CW and GS to post a concern. So all the reply's of "first post and a rant" are really not applicable.

Nothing more annoying than no reply from a poster with a question or complaint.

The threadtitle ("Gag Order?") seems to imply that Camping World somehow "shuts folks up" as terms of a settlement or something. I doubt that very much. I think it's just bad manners on the part of the folks that post complaints.

Though some few post back to tell us the outcomes, the general rule here seems to be that squeaking wheels shut up once they're greased.

Kind of follows the theim of complaints vs. complaments.
If a camper has a good time they go away happy, if they have a bad time they do the camping rant dance and scream on all the forums.
Look at the campground rating web sites, 80% are rants, the other 20% are brief paragraphs.
