What in UK? .... its better than in the US, although US laws protecting web site owners are better and (potentially) give people the freedom to speak their mind more on the internet

In the UK forum owners can (potentially) be done for publishing damaging statements that were made by a user... not cool! However 80%+ of posts I see slagging off shops are unwarranted (in my opinion) and I think we are generally better off without them... its all to easy for people to make business damaging posts based upon nothing more than personal opinion and assumptions.

K thanks all, it's just I see so many threads on here that say about bad shops/sites and some people name them, others don't. Also what about users on here - is it the same dealio - they can sue?

Surely the point is that if you have a complaint about a shop, then take it up with the shop !!!

What is the point of coming on to a forum and complaining to a bunch of people who are going to sit at their screen and say "oooo no... it shouldn't be allowed ... they ought to be shut down ... report them to the council ... run them out of town ... hang them". Two days later, the thread is on page 30, nothing gets done and nobody actually cares.

Talk to the shop owner. Like all reptile keepers, it does not take long to work out if they know what they are talking about or not.

Complaining to them, in writing if need be with the threat of taking it further if your points go unanswered is going to get a whole lot more done than complaining to a bunch of people that will also do nothing about it.

Hmmm well lets see... billericay's reptile shop...there reptiles are named wrong ie:there was and still is to my knowledge a commen boa and i know for a fact was wild caught from the days of the same shop bein called reptile masters.WHICH IS NOW UP AS A RED TAIL AND LABBLED UP AS C,B...I had both the owner of the last shop n the new one infront of me when i questioned why (old owner said not his business no more) the other simply was not botherd. they also have have a 6ft red tail in there thats marked c,b when again its from the same stock and is very much wild caught.

As stated before if u think im just stirring it up. take a look for your selfs im sure they could do with some one to talk to as us locals wont use the shop no more.but i feel strongly that people should know what there buying.before ending up with a 6,7 foot snake that only knows how to feed on any thing that moves.
