I doubt that a thread is likely to be locked at the merest mention of "I had a bad experience with that shop one time", but a thread which is started with the express intention of bashing a vendor is not likely to live for very long. The policy is there to protect the forum, not to dominate it.
There have been a few threads in specific in the last two months that I think that this policy is aimed at. Those threads did not serve a real use to the community, nor did they leave anyone with a good taste in their mouth. They were approached poorly, with the intent of using the forum as a platform to gain leverage against the entity in question. That type of posting has no place on a public forum, in my personal opinion. There are government sanctioned channels for handling that type of thing.

well said eric.
I'd imagine if an O/S vendor for example was having there customers c/c details abused by a third party you would be
quite reasonable in passing on that information ...Or asking a question regarding poor ongoing comunication from a vendor .
But threads whos intent are plainly to "stir the pot " or upset others have no place here.
OMHO this policy will have no impact whatsoever on the day to day activities here .. most all the other inmates I see here are quite capable of self moderation .. for a couple of others a little attitude adjustment ( delete key ) maybe isn't
such a bad thing.
