[QUOTE="Jer, post: 8678957, member: 19857"] Yes we do - publishers need to tell people if it is happening. And before people say "but DriveThru's policy says they can't talk about it" - no it doesn't. It says defamatory and derogatory comments not any commentary at all. letting people know that the reporting system is being abused is not the same as ginning up a Twitter mob to go harass DriveThru's customer support people. This is about businesses interacting with other businesses. I hate to break it to you but businesses choose who they do business with all of the time and bad mouthing another business publicly on social media is a really good way to get them to decide you're not worth the trouble to deal with. The only difference here is that DriveThru is being open about telling people that if they do that they'll drop them as a business partner. (If they were doing this to [I]customers[/I] it would be a different story - but if a business is defaming my business and the people who work for me on social media, I'm not going to be terribly anxious to put their products on my shelf either.)
