Closing of Threads
I realize that some of the folks that read these agree with the moderator on her policy of closing these threads the very moment someone posts something negative about a position. I would like you ...

....Closing the thread plays directly into the hands of the poster who is being negative. This is very likely exactly what he wants. So he/she can get a thread closed almost at will. This is not a good policy.
Closing the thread also hurts those of us who would like to hear from those who have worked at a specific place to get a better idea of the reality of the workplace rather than the HR hype from the company. This can be very valuable. We now do not have even the opportunity for such feedback either negative or positive.
Closing the thread for reasons that are not specified in the user agreement/rules should be done extremely rarely if at all.
Finally closing these threads runs counter to what RV.net stated goal is. The only people hurt by the closing are those that want real information and different perspectives on the jobs offered...It does NOT hurt the poster who jumps on with a negative comment...it only encourages them.
X2. We are all adults here and should be given the opportunity to block someone who offends us if we wish. I would like to be afforded the opportunity to further my knowledge of a situation by reading the good, the bad, and the ugly!
