Anyone know who the admin is over at RVPR?

Burbman...I think there is a "clue" here...this was posted on 10/25 back on page 3 I believe. It was edited by the mod/admin to I believe take out the name that SDcamp posted...but I have no confirmation of what he wrote...just supposition based on what was left and the context with which it was written with the posts around it...so it must be taken in context...but here's the post...

Note too that the RV.netter that seemed to take most exception to my thread is pretty obvious.

If you read through all of the OPs postings on this subject, you will get the drift. Administrators for the rvpr.com site obviously saw the review did not meet criteria.
The admin's of the site are rvers like you and me.
Thanks, to ( ) an rvpr.com volunteer admin., a member here, on the ops original thread, for the education on what you voluntarily do.

I feel this thread has truly opened up many peoples eyes as to WHO and WHAT and WHY is being done over at RVParkReviews...

I want a site that gives me ALL the information for ME to make my OWN opinion even if it means weeding thru the "BS" and non-value-added rants/raves...I think most people are pretty smart and can get the drift about a CG or business based on ALL The reviews...if one has a personal agenda/attack...it should stand out as being ALONE and you can weed that out...but the practice of RVParkReviews keeps "trends" secret or muffled...so those of us thinking we can form our own opinions are only getting what RVParkReviews chooses to allow us to see...if 3 people have the SAME complaint as I did about reservations...we'll NEVER KNOW based on how they are choosing to apply their rules/philosophy or whatever they call it.

How is having a poor reservation policy NOT pertinent information for incoming campers and just as pertinent as how clean the rest rooms are or how close the utilities are or whatever other criteria I was asked to "add" to the review???

But...as I said...this has been an eye opening thread...none-the-less...at least for me...I now know what I will be getting if I choose to use RVParkReviews and wanted to share that information with others so they can form their OWN opinions on the value of that site...I for one can form my OWN opinion and now know the value (or lack of) the information on RVParkReviews since someone is obviously deciding what he/she feels should be there...and that's cool...they volunteer over there and it is their sandbox...sadly though their policy/opinion could have cost me much more than it did with the inconvienence of that park's loosey goosey reservation policy.

Did this park offer me a site...sure they did...was it acceptable for a 40' motor home?...NO...there is no way to safely level a rig that long on a site with an ~20 degree slope front to back...the front wheels would have been so far off the ground over that long of a distance with that much slope. The "mgr" KNEW IT when I pulled in and he KNEW what he had "LEFT" or he wouldn't have said "let me show you what I have left and YOU decide"...he KNEW they had an issue and was hoping I'd simply take the site. By him then going on to "share" with me that the other group "extended"...just told me WHY I was in this position at that particular moment...why they didn't force the existing group to MOVE to that unlevel site is beyond me...but it is what it is.

If park owners on here are protecting that practice...I certainly have no intention of patronizing their CG either given their attitude towards campers (i.e. CUSTOMERS).

BTW...my complaint about the reservation system is very likely NOT the first one about this CG...and I didn't know about it because of the RVParkReview policy/philsophy and sadly people AFTER ME will NEVER know about mine...and as Lantley and the others point out...my issue is PERTINENT to the overall CG experience...rating...but it will never be seen.
