Hey girls, I emailed Annie about our thoughts no the vendor posting. This is what she replied with: You are definitely not the only board. I referenced it above in the library and have posted it on the mod board about a month ago. Our mods have been asking for this for a long time, as have most of our members. This is really common on so many other sites, such as Trip Advisor, Wedding Wire, Yelp etc. We had so many brides feeling like they were not able to give honest reviews because the negative vendor reviews were always being deleted and instructed to do so my moderators and TheKnot.com. I agreed that this was unfair and now they can actually post these reviews. From a vendor perspective, for many brides and vendors, it’s good to hear that side, as well. I can’t tell you how many times that I hear a vendor say (I’m just giving an example, cool?), “I actually was on time, in fact, I showed up a half hour early, but her BMs were not ready for pics.” Or a florist might say, “The bride specifically said (and they will have an email to back it up) to use carnations instead of roses to save money.” Anyway, you get my point. I’d love to hear your thoughts on not locking the post. I just feel that this will be a huge fighting match between bride and vendor, but I also don’t want the brides to feel as if they are not getting the last word. In reality they always have the voice because all vendor posting must always be approved though me-they will never get the right to post on the boards. Does this make sense?
