As a new member, I have a few questions for the administrative staff here: What constitutes bashing? Also, I would like to know at what point does sharing a negative experience become blatant defamation and is either one even allowed/tolerated? I'm merely asking these questions so that I'm clear on this. Personally, I have short tolerance for those that choose to lowrate someone publicly and would like to know the site's official stance on it. I'm sure that a detailed search might also yield the answer but I feel it's best that everyone sees this stance. It hasn't become a widespread issue but I have seen a few posts where people are getting pretty ugly with the insults.
