I have written Eastland Shoes 3 days in a row and the letters do notgo to company, another member told me this is going to CEO planetfeedback so I keep trying ????????Why???
I wanted to suggest an area where we can put in contact informationfor companies to help create the database of companies. Especiallyfor the more obscure ones where we may have direct contact informationnot found in planetfeedback database.
dear planetfeedback support,
I love your site, when I remember to use it I have had excellentresults. Although I am concerned with the process of forgottenpassword. I am aware that that it is possible (not that I have donethis, I
heard this in the news) to hack email accounts. When I requested mypassword it showed identifiable information, not a random passwordwith automatic reset required upon reentry to the site. I have hadAwesome results when it is a complaint, but I attempt to have abalance with compliments. but when in hurry it might be unbalanced.
Thank you for providing such a wonderful resource for getting resultswhen having an issue that is difficult to resolve. I used to use thissite regularly. But completely forgot about it after having an absencefrom computer use for about 3 years. Please keep up this result drivenresource.
I posted a customer compliment letter for dierbergs markets on 6.21.13and unfortunately i do not see that it posted at the planet feed backwebsite
kindly, L sandler. St.Louis MO please respond inkind
There should be a way for users to delete their own submitted lettersor comments posted to them. As I read through people's comments andletters, I often wonder why certain things are said and if those whopost them wish they hadn't.
While I agree PFB is a forum for airing complaints and getting advice,if people are simply posting to be argumentative or obnoxious, thereshould be a way to remove that concent if desired.
The one at the top is over a month old; it makes it look like no oneis using the site.
I cannot post here when I'm using my XP computer.
Is there something I need to do to fix this?
(note, if I'm on the Mac this works fine)
Here's what I'm using
Computer: HP mini
OS: XP, Home edition (2002), Service pack 3
Browser: Safari & Firefox*
Other websites this happens on: none. It only happens here.
Locations: Mainly from my college's wireless internet. But even whenI logged in on the old XP desktop I had the same issues. **
* And yes i've tried both browsers. (no i haven't tried IE, mainlybecause I refuse to run it)
** And yes I'm on the same wireless internet right now (on the mac),so it's not the network.
So any ideas?
I have been sitting here perusing the Suggestion Box (I know, a prettyboring Saturday night), and I came across some ancient posts in thecurrent thread. For example, Firebrat Tracy's farewell post is here(RIP).
I was wondering if a new archive could be created, as it takes a bitof time to go from entry to entry. My guess is even those fortunateenough to have FiOS experience (unexpected) delays.
My name is Louise and I am a Dunkin Donut customer. My suggestion isthe flavor of Collata's. Why not have a Pina Coolata flavor. Thatwould be very refreshing for summer.
It was near the top of the main page, but now it's gone.
How is it you can have a bunch of letters written to a particularcompany but yet when I tried to write one the site insists you have noprofile for them? (And yes I was spelling it right)
hello, i have sent some letter to Bank Of America through you site,but you are sending them to the old CEO Ken Lewis. Can You pleasecorrect this and re-send my letters to the correct person
First: If I see one more misuse of "defected" I'm going to scream andrun in circles. It's a past tense verb, not an adjective.
Second: While we're at it, a functioning search engine that turns upcurrent letters would be a very good idea. The Google option does noteven do that. The company search is not particularly good either; ifthe name a user types in for a company is not exactly what's inPlanetfeedback's database it comes back as Unknown. There are timeswhen I've had to resort to an external Google search to track down aletter to the company on the site and use the Write Letter to ThisCompany feature to get a letter through. Sometimes even that doesn'twork, if it's an old letter.
I would like for there to be a bit more respect to the use of certainterms within letters. This has come as the result of the "Barclayraped me" letter. Yes, there are words that can have several meanings.Bitch can be used both as a negative term and can also mean a femaledog. Cock can mean a rooster or male genitalia. As for the definitiongiven in that letter regarding "murder", the use of the word as acollective noun is taught since grade school. The word "rape" is not.Ask any stranger on the street what "murder" means. They'll tell youthat it can mean someone killing someone, or a murder of crows. Thefact that someone may say "this is murder" while waiting around seemsto indicate that they may use the term without thinking. Ask anystranger on the street what "rape" means. Given the emotionallycharged use of the term, people are more likely to say that it's"forced, unwanted sex." Last time I checked, this was a community.Communities respect one another. So go with the more common usage ofthe term (there are other ways to say that they were ripped off orstolen), since I seriously doubt that a dictionary is mightier thanthe sword.
or is it an idea that's been discontinued?
How about a report button, because some letters are racist, sexist,discriminory of people who are fom other contries and or speak otherlanuages, or a certan age, weight, where they work.
Question. I was wondering if PF would ever start a forum? There area great many topics that come up and I would love to see thosediscussed and debated in an easier to read manner. At this point tokeep up with a letter thread, you have to open each post individuallyand as you know with a forum its all open.
Just a thought.
is there any way to put up a "friendly reminder" that retail employeesare people too and that especially this time of year, a little respectgoes a long way? i put up a letter last year which got a decentrespponse. i would just like to remind everyone that just because theeconomy is down, it is not okay to be rude and abusive to the frontline soldiers fighting the war known as "december" a valid complaintis one thing but all these petty nonsensical demands are getting on mynerves; example, "this cashier told me that i cant bring 150 itemsthrough the express line, i want him FIRED!" or, "so and so wouldntlet me shop for two hours after closing, FIRE HIM"
just my thoughts,
thank you.

Have you reduced the size limit for avatars? I've been trying tochange mine but they are all suddenly too large. I even tried one Iused previously and it is also too big. They are all the correctformat.
Put a spell check in some how
Well right now I can't post from home.
(I know it's not any kind of banning since I haven't gotten anyemails, and I can post from my college computers).
Anyway, the Mac's laid up for a few days - broken power cord, new oneon order.
So in the meantime I dusted off the 5 year old PC and put the beastonline.
Quick stats - HP running XP with a fresh install, surfing with Safari(primary) but I've also tried Google Chrome and Firefox. (I won't useIE)
I can web surf here but whenever I post it gives me "General error". Even on the suggestion board.
anyone know what I can do to fix this?
(and no i confess i haven't installed SP 2 or 3 yet, not sure if Iwill or not)
Why do some letters suddenly not have the Top 25 Lists on theleft-hand side of the page?
I just noticed the following statement in the private portion of myprofile:
Additional reporting and administrative privileges coming soon!
Is that new or something I just never noticed before? What does itmean?
Was the link to the blog feed removed? I thought it was included withthe other RSS feeds, but I don't see it there anymore. Is itsomewhere else?
or wherever these pages are stored?
Quite often when I'm browsing, I'll click on a link here and my entirebrowser will start lagging.
I know it's not my connection though, simply because other internetbased services aren't affected by this "pfb-lag".
For example...
If I click on a pfb link and start to lag, all of my other tabs orpages in safari will lag too
but my telnet mud (on a different port obviously) has no lagwhatsoever. and believe me that MUD is a sensitive puppy, it lags forjsut about everything... except for this mystery PFB lag
am i the only one?
I personally think the link should go to *this* page, the "Currentsuggestion box" page.
It's a bit confusing the way it's organized now
and new people still post their suggestions to the archives becausethey don't realize it's not the current suggestion box
I have a suggestion, and I'm making it here instead of the KT becauseit is something that can't wait till the next meeting.
Maybe PFB could forgive any demerits that were handed out to peoplewhose comments were removed relating to the KT. I think that would befair and possibly help restore some harmony around here.
What do you think?
I submitted a letter for Verizon today and this is the response Ireceived. Please read below. I do not understand it.
It does not make any sense. Please help!

Is there a way to keep the letters on the Read all page longer? Ifseems that there is only enough space for a certain number. ( I count25 right now) If you write a letter, then there are a bunch more byother people written that day, your letter wont be seen on that page. If it isn't in the 15 minutes of Fame, you might never get seen. Ifit doesn't get seen (with out having someone search for that topic),how can other people know about the problem?
In the past, I and others have suggested omitting the portion of theletter generator where the writer is prompted to fill in what theywould like the company to do. I always felt it was the reason forsome requests that almost seem to be added as an afterthought orbecause it's required, and not necessarily what the letter writerintended to ask for when they began writing the letter.
I don't recall seeing that part of the letter generator the last timeI wrote a letter. Was it indeed eliminated?
I don't know that this is a suggestion, but rather an observation. Iwas going to write a letter to Tropicana Products, and I noticed theCEO listed, Brock Leach, left in 2002.
Mr. Leach is evidently now off doing community service and studying inthe seminary.
I saw an angry letter a month or two ago from someone who was incensedthat the CEO information was not accurate for a company they wrote to. I'm not incensed, never over fruit juice, but it made me curious. With all the companies in your database, how do you keep it updated? CEO's often come and go like the wind.
I'd prefer not to write a letter to Mr. Leach, since the topic is notrelated to his tenure at Tropicana. His mind is on less consumerrelated matters these days.
I've seen several letters where the letter writer is clearlycomplaining... but had clicked on Compliment... and so they had agiant smiley face next to the letter.
Perhaps in the coding it might be possible to change the color of oneof the words to help people see the difference... or maybe that giantsmile/frown face next to it.
granted there will be some still who won't read the difference.
and for those.....well they'll just amuse the rest of us when theircomplaints are smiling. :)
I just happened to come across a discussion in Venice's blog, in whichMr. Helpful addressed the content of blogs. It surprised *me*,because I had never seen any such discussion or this issue discussedin the past. Maybe I missed it. In my experience, the blog area wasstrictly hands off in the past.
In reading a couple of Mr. Helpful's replies, it became evident thatthe blog area is not the Wild West that I am pretty sure it used tobe. In the past, as far as I recall, you could post just aboutanything imaginable. While the discussion I read seemed to focus oncriticism of this site or its management, it naturally leads one towonder about what other behavior may be inappropriate.
For example, in the mid-distant past, a member could say just aboutanything about another member, but not in the letter area.
What I was wondering is if there is some way to bring the currentpolicy on blog comments, if it differs from the past or for thatmatter letter comments, to the attention of the community at large. If there is a difference in the scope of blog comments compared withletter comments, could it be somehow described?
This may have been suggested before, but here goes....
Have you considered adding a third option to the site in terms ofsharing letters? I'm thinking perhaps an option to keep the letterprivate, an option to share the letter (feedback) but not allowcomments, and an option to open your letter up for discussion?
After reading the numerous attempts the OP of the Qwest letter hasmade to explain that she really just wanted to put the feedback outthere for others - maybe this would encourage others with similarissues to write as well - but really was not interested in the opinionof everyone who read her letter, even if the intent was to help (nodigs here, I see why she would want others to be aware of the issueshe has had), it occurred to me that maybe a third option was a goodidea. You could give letter writers an option to avoid the(sometimes) drama and still cultivate the diverse discussion this siteseems to be known for, for those who want it.
could you take a look at the letter to Qwest just posted? the writerseems is being rude to those trying to help.
I clicked the link at the top of the page, and everything thatdisplayed was from 2006.
What exactly is the point of this section? It's called the suggestionbox and you get a lot of really excellent ones but every singleresponse is the same "We can't do that at this time."
Just wondering. :-)
Have a good afternoon. :-)
I mentioned this in the TOS blog but I figured it might be good tosuggest it here as well.
Could we perhaps have a limited ability to edit our own posts?
Perhaps 5 minutes of edit time allowed, like what I've seen on othersites?
That way those of us who are contentious about our spelling errors canfix our mistakes. Personally I'm usually embarrassed when a simplespelling error slips by me, & would love to be able to fix thoseerrors.
Or, perhaps, considering the new TOS ... one can save him or herselffrom issues by editing, or even deleting posts that they have secondthoughts about.
Granted, yes... it would be nice to always think things through 100 %before hitting the "post" button, but... given that we're humans andprone to mistakes... It would be nice to have a limited option to fixour own mistakes before PFB fixes them for us.
And of course, the "edit" function would only be limited, so peoplecan't go back and change history.
The search returns have little if any relevance to the search terms.
Search for United Parcel Service and you'll see what I mean. You getrandom letters about bad service, but none about UPS. I'd justwritten one to the company on Monday, but the search box didn't turnit up. I did get complaints about Burger King, a company that doesn'teven take email complaints.
On a related note: If you try to write a letter to UPS, which is whateveryone calls it, the system doesn't know who UPS is. You have totype in United Parcel Service, even though no one calls it that.UPS.com doesn't come up either, even though that's their officialwebsite. And forget trying to write to Land's End; I can't getPlanetfeedback' site to admit the company exists.

I miss your posting the physical addresses for companys and theirboard of directors. I have found that mailing physical letters thatmirror those posted via PFB greatly increases my rate of success...when it comes to being heard!
What happened? Your database of letters disappeared and all that areleft are old ones. For example, Costco now only shows a handfull of5-8 years old letters. Other brands too. Looks like someoneaccidentally deleted the wrong end of the spectrum!
are you aware that on the shared letters page there is an obnoxious adBLOCKING the Go button, so I can't search for what I am looking for?
I would like to see something happen when people repeatably go offtopic on posts. There are many people that will do posts about theGovernment/ on every topic.
I think a Warning First, deleting the posts, then if it keeps going,suspending the account for a while.
(Now, If the Original post is about the above topics, then, of coursethe posts are on topic, so they are still with in the TOS.)
This may well have been suggested before, but I was thinking it wouldbe pretty darned convenient to have the company name a link in the waya user's name is (if they are shared). That way you wouldn't have togo find the Shared Letters link and type in the company name. Youcould be viewing a letter, and then, if it struck your fancy, youcould click right on the company's name and see their other letters.
Politics sucks. Can we leave out politics on PFB? There are plenty ofother forums to discuss politics, right?
Best regards!
What happened to the letter from the woman that bought the LouisVuitton bag and then had issues with trying to sell it on ebay? It wasthe top letter, then disappeared.
please add a political change section because i pay more on taxes thani do on subway, chili's and kellogg's combined. people add them inanyway but a section to pick from when we complain would be nice. p.s.: i have never been on the internet posting before this,its verytherapeutic thanks shane h. studio city, ca.
my president wouldn't send his kids to my kids school. why is it thatthe person in charge of public school policy on the federal levelafraid to send his kids to public school. are the secret serviceunable to protect the first children in a public school? what doesthis say about my children's safety. maybe the education isn't up tohis standards. what about my children's education? what will motivatethis president to fix public education if he has no personal stake. ifbeing an american gave you a personal stake in public ed. than pastpresidents wouldn't have failed our children so miserably. it seemslike obama is all talk. did anyone see their childrens menu on thenews? organic this ,organic that! what did my child eat? a packedlunch, cause the school food is atrocious!
I tried at home last night and today from work, and the page seemskinda hosed. What am I supposed to do today? WORK?!?!?!
OK, first Thank you for what you do. You give the once, meager,customer a voice and I sincerely applaud you! My only suggestion isthat you maybe have a "local letter" category. So that we can searchfor shared letters in our area not only all over. Thanks again andkeep up the hard work
On Monday afternoon I posted a letter to Rite Aid. Everything wentthrough and the letter showed up right away on the widget, in mye-mail and in my profile. However, if you click to read the entireletter, you get an error message that the requested page is notavailable. What happened? You can even do a search on key words inthe letter and find it but you cannot access the entire letter.
Right now, there's a letter on the main page to Best Buy, complainingabout the Geek Squad. It says there are four comments/replies. Butthere actually are only two--mikethornton's and my own. Does thismean there were two other comments, and they were removed?
I'm just curious. No biggie. Thanks much.
Dear Ford manufacturers,
I'm glad to see that you do not need a loan right now
from the government.
I would like to see you manufacture 2 more types of
cars for good mile/gal. If you could build a 1200cc
model and a 1600cc model. They would give more than
35 miles/gallon (city driving). 8 valves 4 cylinder.
To get good milage the valves should be small.
The price should be under $10,000 U.S.
How can I find new letters that were posted in the last few days orso? All I see are the 15 minutes of fame. I tried putting todaysdate in the search. Is there a trick to seeing new letters?
The censorship here is getting ridiculous. I had a comment deleted forabsolutely no good reason. All I did is tell the letter writer gettingovercharges 60 cents is in no way horrific. From what I've seen onlycertain people get picked on and censored. The "regulars" are allowedto post freely but the rest of us are unfairly censored.
Thank you for letting me express my frustration. Happy Holidays!
First time viewer/registrant to your site and I think it's terrific!
And after reading so many "events" posted, I would like to proposethat PLANET FEED BACK consider taking these issues to another level.Specifically, if one individaul has an "issue" it's just oneperson.......if 100 or 1000 have the same issue, then "its anepidemic!".....
Proposal: Establish a committee to begin handling "issues" within reason and. if validated, and necessary,initiate/approve action totake it to the next level.......and by that I mean, what would 100 or1000 phone calls/or e-mails do if they all were initiatedsimultaneously? Or, if it were just KNOWN by the contributor that the"possibility" existed? And, no, I'm not proposing violence at all but,remember this, somewhere right now there is a helpless individualwho's a victim of the present indifference by corporations/governmentand although we're all potential "victims" where are our friends?
Thanks for listening/viewing.........let's all go forward! I'm forit!
If you delete my response...I want to know why! Sometimes I spend afair amount of time replying only to have it deleted.
It makes no sense to me. Any other board I am on will talk to me if Ihave done something wrong...not PFB!
I want to know why you delete my posts! EVERY TIME you delete one.
Would it be possible to add a way that we can follow up or showresolution on our complaints. For example, Verizon responded veryquickly to my complaint, and worked with me very quickly to see that Iwalked away from the situation.
A poster feedback section allowing us to show that the companyeither..
1. Never responded back at all
2. Responded, but not to our satisfaction
3. Responded and made everything right.
It just seems that credit should be given where credit is due, andunless a user takes the time to read all the replies, they have no wayof telling (by just reading the initial complaint letter) if thesituation was resolved in a positive manner.
Is there a reason that the same 25 profiles show consistently? Iunderstand that it reads that these are randomly chosen by a computerprogram, but I think the program is either turned off or just notworking.
I think everyone's names/profiles should be rotated on a regularbasis.
I have never seen donno; Nate; and calmsly listed on there at allalong with many others who consistently post comments in here.
Maybe the name of this column should be changed to "top 25 who postcomments and then let it rotate on a regular basis.
I no longer see the widget thingie on the front page. Am I missingsomething? Thanks!
Why was my comment on the "American Express Lowered My Credit Limit"letter deleted? It's okay for that letter writer to throw around theword rape to describe being ripped off but not okay for me to beoffended? Since you obviously support the disgusting and ignorantpractice of using the word rape as casual slang for "ripped off" and"scammed" you can bet I will never step foot on this site again. ThinkI'm overreacting? If you were a rape survivor you'd understand.Goodbye!
I just noticed that we have a second Michelle O here onPlanetfeedback. I'm surprised that 2 users can have virtually thesame name - only capitilization is different. Is there no cross checkwhen new users choose their names? Although I don't yet disagree muchwith anything #2 has said, I have been very careful not to getinvolved in the political conversations and don't want anyone toconfuse our opinions.
I assume my only option here is to choose another name. If thespelling or spacing was different I wuld understand, but simply a lackof capitilization shouldn't allow identical screen names, IMO.
I am a 58 year old woman with arthritis. I have trouble opening thebottle caps used now. I would appreciate going back to the old bottlecaps. It was much easier to open.
Thank you.
I'm having problems receiving RSS feeds through Bloglines. I havedeleted the feed and tried resubscribing to it but Bloglines keepssaying there is a problem with the feed. I don't know if this is aproblem on PFB side or Bloglines, but this has been happening for thepast couple of weeks.
I purchased a range on 10/08/08 and was told that on our sales slipthat we could go on line and fill out a questionaire with a chance towin a $4,000.00 gift card. I have been on the internet for l hour andI still have not been able to register. My wife and I have purchasedmany items from Sears and this is the first time that we have beendisappointed. We have had to travel to Sears twice and have manyproblems getting our range delivered.Now, we can't even get to sign upfor the gift card. What is happening to Sears - we are sodisappointed. Fix it, or you will not be in business for another 50+years. Ronald C. Thompson
Why do you show the CEO of Wachovia as G. Kennedy Thompson, when ofthe Wachovia website it's ROBERT K STEEL?!?!?
I would like to know why you do not have the economy size bottles forthe women of color also all the other women of color products are notavailable in the stores that are advertised in ebony and essencemagazines.
Censorship is rampant here. How digusting.
I don't even know if you guys look at these suggestions any more, butI just had some feedback I wanted to share, and I didn't think itwarranted writing a letter for it.
I wanted to say that I'm glad that PFB is sticking true to their TOSand enforcing things better. I like that they are protecting letterwriters' opinions. I think this is a good thing.
However, I think some things have gotten out of hand, especially withthe recent Lowe's letter. The huge exchanges between commenters, theOP and the PFB team has just left a bad taste in my mouth. I get whypeople are mad at the letter writer for some of his or her's comments.I totally agree with the PFB team and them trying to get people tostop nitpicking the OP on that issue.
I am just getting this feeling that the PFB team is out to get somecommenters. I mean...the whole PFB experience seems to have changedfor me--and it isn't for the better. I do like the new rules, but allthis squabbling and fighting...it's getting annoying. It seems like itpops up on more and more letters. I don't know how to word it anybetter...I understand that naturally, the team would always be on theletter writer's side, no matter want...since this is your website andit wouldn't be good for the PFB team to disagree with a letter and sayso, I just think that you guys are really forcing it sometimes. Ah, Idon't know how else to say it, sorry.
I wanted to tell you guys all of this and I hope you don't mind.Please keep up the good work.
your address for countrywide home loans is firstname.lastname@example.com I was informed that I needed to contactcountrywide home loans.
you might want to check on the e-mail for the homeloan division, guessit changed recently.
When someone writes a letter to a business that no longer exists butwas taken over by or merged with another business is the letterforwarded on to the correct entity.
For example, if someone writes to BellSouth, does it automatically goto AT&T? If not, can a note be put next to the now defunct entity,ie: BellSouth, advising the letter writer not to use and to use AT&T?
Just a quick glance through the letter generator found entries forBellSouth, Ameritech, PACBell, Southwestern Bell Telephone and SNETwhich are all part of AT&T now.
Have seen letters to Hewlet Packard but when I enetr the name I getnothing.
I would like it if you comment (NOT write) letters that you have tohave your profile public. Don't know if people would agree to that.
I wondered if there is a way to maybe have the option to archive olderpostings in blog areas? When I try to go into blogs belonging toVenice or LadyMac, for example, it takes a long long time for thescreen to load - I assume it is because there is so much info there. Typically I end up hitting control/alt/delete and exiting the siterather than wait.
On August 25,2008 I was in the Colonie store purchasing a televisionthrough an extended warranty.
I would suggest very strongly that your employees that work on thephones, dealing with extended warranties attend training classes onattitude and courtesy.
A more efficient solution to that problem might be to send Bryan fromyour Colonie store to train these nasty people.
Having had to make three trips to Colonie because your employees thatwork on the phones are somewhere in never-never land left me in a lessthen happy frame of mind. Had it not been for Bryan and hisprofessionalism this may have been sent to the attorney general andnot you.
Currently, a letter writer can choose to have his/her letter sharedand publicly viewed and commented on, or keep it private and only thecompany sees it. Given a recent site member's frustration over everysingle kind of comment people make, maybe one solution for sensitivepeople would be to offer a "post my letter so people can read it butdon't allow comments" option.
*I* don't like it, but it's a possible solution. Just a thought. Thanks.
On May 18th, I asked about adding a company to the database. I knowyou can't do that but you said we can put one in manually. How canyou do that? It doesn't let me get past the page to choose alocation, in this case AAA.
I think it would be nice if there was an option on "shared letters" toview the newest letters [in addition to the option to search companiesand view the most popular]. I can only read the same discussion a fewtimes before I get bored. I really like the site and spend more timehere than I should!
Im not from the United States, Im from Chile, but when I signed in Ihad to say I was from USA because there I didn't have the option tochoose another country.... most of the northamercian companies are inChile, and I have an opinion about them too :)
I would like to see your "Shared Letters" listed under the specificcompany being looked up. I sometimes would like to follow feedback ona particular merchant, and find myself wading through dozens ofpostings that are not related to my search.
I see these posted between the body of a letter and the beginning ofresponses to the letter. What do they mean? Thanks!
It really looks as though you're establishment is very commited makingthis an awesome site.
Since I'm still finding my way around, I can't be too much of help atthe moment. AS soon as I get settled and viewed some other threads andrelative feel like being on the team.
anyways have a happy holiday tomorrow
I recently just purchase a new washer &dryer in Morristown , Tn! MySears rep was very honest and very nice! Ms. Donna Bishop was her nameand I want to say that she was fabulous! She was very helpful and veryfriendly! I felt as if I was buying from family! Thanks again for anice visit!!
I have a suggestion. for many of the bulletin boards I belong to, Iget an automated email whenever anyone replies to anything I post.
I realize PFB uses a very unique format, however, is here anything inthe software that would allow at least the letter writer to get anemail notification that someone has responded to their letter?
This is in response to my own comments in my blog a few months ago, aswell as a PFB reply today. Many, many letter writers never come backand post. I have to wonder if they are even aware of the responses totheir letters and how much quality interaction is being missed?
On 6/12/08 @ 1800 hours, I wrote a complaint to direct TV.My replyfrom Planet Feedback came back in the form of attachments. Spacer.Gif& Header Gif. What don I do with this.
I'd like to suggest that posters would not post in all capitalletters. It's annoying and difficult to read.
WWW. SEARSFEEDBACK.COM. I just got off the phone with Sears and theysaid to go to their website to fill a survey for a chance to$4,000.00...........guess what no such place THANKS SEARS.
I am not one of PFB's favorite members. I am aware of this, andcertainly understand that my comments are not appreciated by all(though I do maintain that I have every right to make them).
However, no matter how controversial my views are, I do NOT harrassrandom members of PFB. My comments are general or directed towardsthe OP.
PFB member Norma Rae is apparently on a mission to harrass as manypeople as possible for irrelevant reasons. I have had many, many ofmy comments removed almost immediately by administrators. These sameadministrators are apparently ignoring Norma Rae and her constantsniping at PFB members and their comments.
Either you mod all or you mod none. Decide, and do something aboutthis woman. She is not using PFB as it was intended to be used, andif you're going to target me for my comments, you certainly need to dosomething about hers.
I'm assuming I've read this before, but I long ago forgot it. I triedwriting a compliment letter to Savers, but it isn't in the databaseand I didn't have an option of adding it. What's my next step?
The contact address for US Airways consumer feedback/etc... is out ofdate. It is:

The current CEO of Merck & Co., Inc. is Richard Clark, not RaymondGilmartin.
Can a link be added to the Shared Letters page back to the RSS feed? As it is now, you have to go to the home page and then click on thelink to the feed.
Can we finally stretch it out to not be micro in size? If I rememberright, it's only so small before of the previous location that you hadwanted it to reside.
How do you add a company to the database? I had great service todayfrom AAA New York Travel Service and wanted to post about it.
I just wrote to the Home Depot and got a email telling me the emailyou sent to the CEO on my behalf went to a dead email.
You have been instrumental in helping consumers with contacting andaddressing issues. The results obtained by Planet Feedback sending outthe letters is something I feel should be shared on your web site. Ihad been addressing an issue with T-Mobile for months with no results.Two days after Planet Feedback sent my letter, I was contacted bythree individuald from T-Mobile, and the issue was solved that day.Incidents such as this should be posted. Thanks again!
OOPS, I posted this in what I later realized was an archivedsuggestion box. PFB, you may want to lock or close that thread. Anyway, here is my suggestion:
Hi, I have a suggestion. Not sure if it has been posted in the past.
I am wondering if it is possible to ignore a specific member's
For example, on many bulletin boards/forums I belong to, you can
"ignore" a member. this means you never see any comments from them.
Sometimes, it makes threaded conversations look odd, however, it cuts
down a lot on bickering,etc.
I'd like to suggest a more refined search interface.
I searched for "Chrysler Financial" and I got all posts with ChryslerAND Financial in them .vs the PHRASE
typed above.
I posted a letter tonight, and when it was all done, the informationalbox to the right of the screen indicated that the letter had NOT beenshared. Hmmm. I could have sworn I checked the appropriate box, andone purpose of the letter was to spread the good word about awonderful product.
I decided to start over. I copied the body of the letter, zippedthrough the initial "start a letter" process, pasted in my letterw/out a hitch, carefully checked the "share my letter" box, and thesame thing happened: The site said my letter hadn't been shared. Butwhen I checked the widget, the first one was posted.
Just thought I'd give you a heads up about it, in case you wereunaware.
Why do my responses to letters keep getting deleted? I have checked myemail and not once was I ever given the courtesy of an explaination.I've gotten the message loud and clear, PF-I'm not welcome here. Iwon't be back.
Do all letters show up on the Widget Thingee? And how long aftersubmitting a letter does it show up on the Widget Thingee?
I find that I can't just click and hold on the down arrow to scrollthrough the new letters--I have to click click click click... you getthe idea. ;)
Is it something that can be adjusted? If not, no biggie, but thoughtI'd ask. Thanks!
Where is "THE Complaint Box??" Why is it so easy to complain andnearly impossible to report back action taken on the complaint?? Andwhat is with the cryptic navigation options??? I went in to read mycomplaint and update the action/response and can't seem to easily doso.
I then went in search of "help" do you have a help button?? Do youhave an equally responsive feedback system?? Should members create afeedback site to complain about you?? Why do I have to BLOG myconcerns in hopes of a repsonse?? who runs this site?
YAY! That widget thingee is back.
I noticed if you click on the menu icon on there, that it allows youto choose to go to PFB Shared Letters. Any chance it can get linkedup there to Mommage and ShopperCast too?
The new spell check feature is awesome. Thanks, folks! It reallyhelps the sight impaired.
By the way, I'm looking forward to the return of the Widget. I thinkI saw a note it would be back.
How does one use the avatar function?
I see how to click to pick a file. I see that it has to be a JPEG orPNG. I see that it has to be less than 2 MB. I presume that it can'tviolate anyone's copyright (although there are plenty of people'savatar's that do). I see where it shows the file I selected and says"Pending Authorization." I see where, a day later, my oldone is back. Even if I select to remove the old one, the old onecomes back.
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, so is there a place I can go toread further information on the rules and procedures for avatars?
So that I can stop harping on it, I'll ask: are people required toregister with their real names?
There have been a few letters, recently, posted with obviously fakenames (e.g., "OhYeah B.") or without names (it just shows as" ."). These are letters that have been popular and havebeen seen (and even commented on) by PF staff.
I don't care. Actually, I think it makes sense NOT to displaysomeone's real first name on a shared letter. If people can commentwith a nickname, you might as well let them post shared letters withthat nickname.
Obviously, whether PF choose to send letters with fake names (I'maware that you give letter writers the option to withhold theircontact information from a letter) is a decision that is none of mybusiness.
I just want to know what the policy is.
On Feb. 11 I sent a letter to united airlines about the bad experiencemy sister had at the LA airport. Besides being delayed for over 11hours there were no customer representatives available and the gateagents were rude and did not seem to care about the passengers thathad been delayed and missed their connecting flight. United Airlinesresponded right away and offered her a voucher for her next travel. Thank you planetfeedback. You have helped me in the past and havecome through again.
Frances Smith
This letter has some personal information that may prove troublesome.
Thanks in Advance for taking care of it!
In April 2007 I purchased 4 tires from PepBoys. You had a mail-inrebate for buy 3 get 1 free. I have not yet received my rebate. Justlike other customers, I received the same explanation that therewasn't any record of this transaction. Since then I have faxed a copyof my receipt to the Resubmit Dept and called to check the status ofmy rebate. I was again told that there was no record. I then went backto PepBoys to get another rebate form and sent it in as instructed byyour customer service dept. It is now Feb 2008 and I still have notreceived my rebate. What is going on with your system and/ oremployees that I'm waiting almost a year for $58.99?
Will the announcement about the new ratings thing ever go down andmake way again for the widget that displayed the newest PFB letters?
Out of curiousity (and boredom), I did a Google search of posts thatincluded the word "sucks". Of course I found tons but whatsuprised me was the number of old complaints, some from 2004, thatwere still generating responses. I found dozens. The nature of thecomments led me to think that many of these people thought they weremaking a complaint of their own.
It seems many of these people come here by doing their own Googlesearch with the name of the company and the word "sucks". Many of these posters had valid complaints but, because they areunsure about how the site works, they will not get to the right place.
Is there any way that we can let them know the correct way to posttheir problem? I don't know if it could be accomplished by eitherclosing the thread to comments with some kind of link that says"Having a problem with ABC Company, click here to post aletter" or just inserting that statement (or something similar)in letters that include certain buzz words. Something in the body ofthe complaint like you put in the survey requests would work.
I'm open to suggestions from my fellow PFB commenters but I think thiswould generate some additional, valid traffic to the site.
Could the Suggestion Box link be made so that it jumps to the currentSuggestion Box. As I write this, I'm thinking, "someone musthave already written about this." I'm not up to reading theentire box, though I guess the powers that be have to do that.
It is fairly confusing to hit the link and be faced with all the oldletters. Once you stumble across the link embedded at the top, youare on your way, but life could be easier...
It must be a very hard job to read every letter and every comment. (I'm not being sarcastic)
However, I've seen examples where something that's out-and-outoffensive is left, while something that's borderline is quicklywhisked off.
So that I'm not speaking for others, I'll give a personal example.
Rather quickly, a comment I posted giving the URL to Hallmark's website (a known site that's not malicious and clearly is not meadvertising) was removed within a matter of hours. Withoutnotification or explanation.
On the other hand, a letter that uses profanity ("Lease FianceLLC Fraudelent Billing/Accounting Actions") has been leftstanding for over 30 hours.
I'm not calling "unfair" because I admit I goofed up (albeitwithout knowing). I'm simply saying that removal of content appearsrandom.
If you Google the f-word on planetfeedback, you get 72 hits. 53 hitsfor the s-word. And a small handful of that most-offensive c-word.
True, some are in the free-for-all "user blog" section. Butcertainly not all.
I will assume that someone complained about my use of a URL (for awell known company that was the subject of the OP's letter) and thatno one has notified you about the letters/comments filled with racism,sexism, anti-antisemitism, and profanity.
So, I'd like to reiterate my suggestion (that Pete apparently liked)of having some mechanism for having content (be it a comment or aletter) that's offensive or otherwise troublesome. It need not be ascomplex as my bluesky proposal. But it should also not be allow forcapriciousness.
More new things.... the scroll on the main page with the PFB tip ofthe day. Very cool!
I see a lot of misplaced letters to Verizon. Many people don'trealize that Verizon is actually three separate entities, VerizonWireless, Verizon Online and Verizon. Is it possible to include thisinformation in the letter generator:
Verizon Wireless- Cell Phone
Verizon- Local telephone service and FiOS
Verizon Internetworking - DSL
A letter complaining about DSL service sent to Verizon Wireless willnot get a response.
I also like the new ratings page, including the section on the leftside of the screen which links previous letters for that particularcompany.
One suggestion though: Would it be possible to have a hyper link tothe company's ratings page just below the title of a particularletter? For example:
Title: Not Satisfied With Target
by: Joe Schmoe written to Target
I gotta say, I really like your new ratings page. I especially likethat I can read the last 5 letters to any given company and PFB'sassessment of this company (like for McDonald's). The Top 25 lettersfor each category is fun too... oh the walk down memory lane I hadwhen I rediscovered the "Gay Pride at Disney World" letter. :)
I'm planning on making some sizeable purchases this year (new laptop,digital camera, camcorder) and this is going to make it much easier todo my homework before making these purchases.
Thanks PFB.
After logging in many times in the last few days, I find that thelittle box that used to appear at the top of the page listing all thenewest posted letters has disappeared. Where can we find that now? Iused to just wait for them to appear on the top 20, but have likedthat box.It's easier.
I suggest you remove the members/posters who repeatedly insult andattack other posters. It really ruins the productivity of these site.
Understand, not the occasional rude comment but I see a few of thesame names on every one of the top 20 shared letters, I read. The postinappropriate comments 98% of the time. It makes me dissinterested inspending time on this site.
Thanks for reading.
Just wanted to let you know that I love the little mini "blogfeed" onthe main page!
The "Pictures of the filth served as food to customers in Memphis"letter at first had a link to a personal photo website. Eventually,the link was deleted. This happened in another letter recently aswell.
I'm just curious so whether this is against a PFB letter policy orsomething. If so, perhaps the letter-writing process could containverbage to that effect?
I know that at one site at which I hang out, no links are allowedbecause that's the deal the site owners made with the advertisers --so no one could post a link that competes against the advertisers onthe site. (Makes sense to me!)
I'm just curious. THank you!
One was the recent drycleaning letter and the other was the "Do theemployees think it's Happy Hour?" letter.
I don't remember anything particularly vitriolic (I hope I"m usingthat word correctly). I'm just curious as to why they were deleted --they were on the site later last night (11 p.m. or so?) and thismorning they were gone.
I posted a little while back about a very rude response to one of myletters. The scathing comment is still there. I thought suchcomments were no longer tolerated? Why is this person allowed tocontinue making comments like this?
Again, here is the URL: http://www.planetfeedback.com/index.php?level2=blog_viewpost&topic_id=305407&reply_id=170183#anchor170183
Thank You.
I have noticed the new survey function on a couple of the letters, andI think it's super cool. I just have one question. When I fill outthe survey and click the button to submit, I am directed to thesurveymonkey.com page and I can't find an easy way to get back to PFBother than using my bookmark. Is there a "go back to PFB" link thatI'm missing? If not, no big deal, but it would make life that teensybit easier. It just seems like that pushes traffic away from thesite, which may not be the intent.
Love the new stuff, by the way!
I have been a member here for about a year and have written a fewletters. In my latest letter, not everyone agreed with my complaintand I'm okay with that, but to tell me to "pull my head" out of my"overly entitled ass" is a bit much, don't you think?
Here is the comment:
I have a question. I know that you have the responses from companiesthat responded to the OP's letters, and I like that. They are lettersthat the OP's got the help they were looking for, but do you haveresponses from the companies that weren't so favorable, that didn'tgive the OP's the answers they were looking for or denied them thererequests, as outlandish as some may be?
I recently visited Mervyn's in Porterville and friendly they are not.I was very displeased as I stood in line to pay for a half hour thenwas told very rudely to go stand in another line because now they wereclosed. So once again I had to stand in line for another half an hourwhich now I was very angry because I was dealing with another rudeemployee. This is ridiculous because us as customers go to stores toshop not be treated unfairly. One thing they got to realize is theyare lucky to have our business because there are other stores whowould gladly take our money with a smile. Whatever happen to CUSTOMERSSATISFACTION IS NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. I don't see them with my businessany time soon which is a shame because I went there almost every day.
Is it a sign of things to come in '08?
I just wrote a letter, and instead of losing it when I was timed out,I was able to sign in. I hope it wasn't a fluke because losing aletter is one of the most frustrating things on PFB.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that this problem has now been fixed.
I would like to institute a holiday truce if you will from todayDecember 22 to wendsday december 26, I want to see no flaming of theOPs no matter how ridiculous the request is.
Also this is two fold and I wish for this to be a permanent thing. I see alot of seniors on here writing grammaticlaly incorrect lettersand in all caps. Lots of these oldsters don't have a PC at home, andrely on the library or senior center for internet acess. So possiblythey are not very internet inclined, and are getting less than stellarhelp from the librarians or Aids. Don't flame the old people anymorejust for grammer...they are people too.
Hi guys, I was wondering if you had any plans to put a "Remember Me"check box on the log in screen so I don't have to enter logincredentials every time. I'm very, very lazy, so I'd really like it ifyou did that. :)
Psst... there's a typo in your letter generator. When I did acompliment this morning, it informed me on the mood check that itemsmarked with a "red asterick" are required.
Asterisk. :)
Upon completion of the complaint,
PlanetFeedback gives choices where to send the complaint to.(Planetfeedback then forwards this complaint to the company).
This email address is no longer good & will not reach the intendedparty.
address = email@example.com
I chose it for planetfeedback submission, now how can I choose anotherfrom the popup list ? And resend the original complaint to a differentchosen email address ?
Or does one have open a NEW complaint to make this possible ?
Not a suggestion, but a question:
What is the purpose of the green "Share This" icon on the main page?
I don't know if your team has seen my comment on a sears feedbackletter. I think I know why people are coming to this site for searsfeedback. Please view my comment in the link below for furtherinformation. You should go through the comments on the link that Iprovided on the following letter so you can remove personalinformation that people have accidentally posted.
Thank you.
I just signed up here about 2 days ago and I am disgusted with thereplies of negativity. Do you all even monitor the comments? Do youmonitor the profiles. I have been reading the suggestions and I see Iam not the only one who feels this way. If you all continue to letthis happen, ie not deleting profiles of people who push negativity,your site will not serve it's purpose or mission anymore. Soon theonly people remaining will be the ones who have nothing to say andcompanies will see this site as a joke. If that is what youwant...continue to ignore those profile users who seek to do no goodto anyone.
I will be closing my account. This is a waste of time. I would rathercall the company and argue with customer service than argue withpeople who do not even get paid to argue the companies case. I wish Icould get free help like that. I really need a good maid around myhouse.
May your travels be safe, the feast plentiful and the company joyous.
From Pete and everyone here at PlanetFeedback, happy Thanksgiving!
i wish you could put the replies in order, in other words, oldest onesfirst and newest ones at the bottom of the page. Otherwise, I amreading a reply at the top that is responding to something furtherdown the page that I haven't read yet. THanks.
I have a request to make of the PlanetFeedback administrators.
I'd like to know if the above linked profile of a Wayne Cuffley sharesan IP address with the commentator who calls himself Cletus Johnson.If so, I have reason to believe that the person behind both of theseprofiles is attempting to intimidate me by sending me emails at mypersonal email address, which I have never shared on this website andis only available from my personal website, which is linked to from myprofile.
He has been saying for a long time that this website is only a game tohim. I no longer wish to play this game. The comments and statements Imake on this site are limited to this site only, and I have no desireto have any commenters on this site crossing over into my personallife without my expressed permission. I do not want him to email meever again, I do not want him visiting my website, and I no longerwish to have any contact with him on this website. He has crossed theline of decency.
Wasn't sure where else to put this, so I'm trying it here.
To everyone who I've considered to be a wonderful part of myday-to-day life, I want to thank you. It's been almost 7 years thatI've been a member of this community and I consider many of you to bealmost family to me. I love and respect you all.
It's time for me to move on.
I've never been one to storm off in a huff, as many of us have in thepast, and frankly, I've never even been tempted to before now. Butwhen it gets to the point that you dread going to a place that youonce loved so much, you get to realize that it's time to say goodbye.
I can still be reached at my email and on my myspace page, and I'd behappy to remain in contact with (most of) you guys.
I'll also remain a proud member of mommage, for as long as I am able.Moms, check it out sometime. It's a great site!
Here's to hoping PFB can one day return to the spirit in which it wasintended.
Peace out,
I find the point of this web site very useful, I have had a fewcompanies respond to my post and I value their custome service.
I don't vette my letters through lawyers or PHDs, I simply writeletters the way I would like to receive letters. I imagine a customerservice rep reading hundreds of letters a day, and I like to thinkmine stand out as informative, yet slightly out of the ordinary. Ifind this is a good way to get results and get noticed.
I also like to write lots of letters, I did so in the past usingstamps and letters and I will continue in the future using theinternet.
The administrators of this site provide a great service.
To those that don't like my post, I'm Sorry, but they were not writtento you. Take a look at them though and you will see that every one ofthem is constructive and communicates a real concern.
By the way, I am not an idiot, but I take no offense to being calledone.
Hey I opened up my RSS feeds and I got around 200 letters fromDecember of 2005. I cleared it out last night and they just showed upthis morning. It did bring back some memories of what happened thenthough.
Don't know if this is a suggestion so much as a comment but due to thenew facetious atmosphere of the site, I no longer recommend the siteto anyone I know. Before you turn around and point out that theletters are in the top because of the "regulars"... they have done allthey can do to stop posting to a certain person who has made it theirmission to make a laughing stock out of the site. He then started topush his own letters into the top just by posting in them over andover again. Then this person came up with other screen names orrecruited friends to post more asinine letters to get attention.
Hasn't this gone far enough? It is to the point I rarely read theletters anymore and mostly visit the blogs. Since I talk to almosteveryone that matters off the site, I don't know how much longer I'llbother doing that. I know I'm not the only one that feels thisway...
The letters going through this site lately reflect poorly on it.
I thought you were going to leave a note saying "comment removed" (ordeleted) when a string was deleted. A whole string was deleted fromthe Cingular Employees smoking post (I know why it was pulled) but nocomment was inserted.
I am so fed up with this poor excuse of a website! Please allow me tovent!
First, to you "regulars" please don't attack me and tell me I shouldhave contacted PF admin privately. I tried! THREE WEEKS ago I sent twopolite messages to them. I was completely IGNORED.
So with that said, here are my complaints.
1. FIX THE SITE ALREADY! I constantly get the following errormessage:
Sorry, the requested page is not available.
Click here to return to the home page.
How incompetent are you people? Fix your site! And if you're doingregular and frequent maintanance, be PROFESSIONAL and give yourmembers the COURTESY of an advance notice.
My other complaint is that the administration plays favorites. You letidiots like Cletus make a laughing stock of the site and let otherpeople-we all know who-flagrantly IGNORE the "No one under 14 canregister" rule. It is the height of unprofessionalism to playfavorites and allow certain people to break the rules. You should beashamed of yourselves.
Vent over.
I was just wondering if all of these Hogan letters are really fromdifferent people or if they are just one person with multiplepersonalities. They all seem to be the written the same way, evensome words are constantly misspelled the same way throughout all theletters. If they are from the same person they are flooding the siteand cannot be a good thing. I get about 35 letters in about 4 hoursthrough RSS feed and over half of them are to Polaroid about PaulHogan. I think there have been 30+ in the past 2-3 days. I repliedto one letter asking this and the poster was very rude, it was only aquestion.
There is something that needs to be done with "Clete", Cletus or hisalter ego Fred Flintstone.
Seriously, he is making a mockery of this site and needs to be banned.Pretty soon all the companies he writes to are going to not take anymore letters from here.
If he wants humor, make his own blog or something. This is not his ownpersonal comedy stage.
And shame on Planet FeedBack for actually listeing his letters wherethey are noticed and commented on thus fueling his idiocy.
I suggest PFB sponsor Michael Waltrip's car for NASCAR so Clete willleave in protest.
Just one girl's $.02.
ok I know I've commented on some letters today and I don't see mycomments anywhere on it.....
I have sent a few letters recently and every time I do I get this inmy email:
ZCZC ISCI0000 0000 10/07 00000000 18676396CANCELLATION 0000 REASON-NOANSWERON 10/07/07 15:10 TO- 4052807503CMID- Message text follows: Attached file: stodQAkY.html
The address is from firstname.lastname@example.com
This has happend with every letter I have sent. And they are todifferent companies.
Does this mean my letters arent being sent at all?
This has happend with at least two letters to two differentcompanies.
Anyone know whats going on?
The TOS for this site clearly states you must be 14 or over to behere. Why then are PF staff ignoring that and letting 10 year oldshere? Not only is he rude and wasting time and bandwith with stupidletters, but some of the subject matter dealt with in letters is veryadult. I am also quite sure most members are sick and tired of havingto explain everything to him. Please abide by your own policy and getrid of the kids!
I have noticed that lots of people when they reply to letters postthis and only this.
What does n/t mean?
i don't know if they wrote a fake letter but i think someone wrote afake letter because it is 2007 and they said they had to catch a planein 2015 but they are from rome so maybe it was real because maybe inrome it is 2015 but are when we write the letters they have to be realright because this person says it is 2015.
Could I be notified via email when someone replys to my letter orblog?

I mean some of them are just terrible not many but a few are. Forexample there was one that all caps which I don't think is the properway to write a letter. Also J.D the person that typed that letter didnot like our opinions and told us not to post in his letter so I havea few questions.
1. If someone asks you not to reply to their letters do you have tolisten? Because J. D said that his letter is not our business. But heshared the letter and was just hoping everyone would agree with him. I think that if you share a letter you then you should not get mad atpeople and call them names if you don't like their replys.
2. For letters that have many mistakes like that one to Wal-Martcomplaining that his shirt ripped, do you actually correct the lettersor do you send them as is, or a third opinion do you not send theletter at all until it atleast looks half decent?
There should be a way for those with accounts to be able to letsomeone know that they have been mentioned in their blog.
I have a question.
In my profile, there is an option to view all comments, but not allletters. Is there a way for other people to view all the letterswritten by the owner of the profile?
Today is my first time on the webpage and I am finding it very hard tonavigate and find things that I am looking for.
You need to make the page user-friendly.
Hello, I was wondering if there could be a generic 'find a compliment'link that would list them for any company. I know you can search for acompany and specify a compliment, but I think it be nice to have ageneral compliment link. Maybe like what is now in the 'Fun withShared Letters' portion on the homepage?
P.S. Go Compliment Week!
I will like automatic spell check. If not possible be able to copyand paste.
Also, I remember that there was a link to resend a letter that has notreceived a response, I don't see it anymore. Can you please reinstatethis option. Also, I don't see how to edit a letter if you receivedan answer from a company.
It's loading extremely slowly and I keep getting time out and "Sorry,that page is unavailable" messages.
Your website has become confusing. When you do a search for a companyyou can not find the one you searched for, but you do find a lot ofmessages about companies you had no interest in to begin with. In theold days you entered a company name, the site confirmed who you weretalking about and showed you feedback for that company. Today I did asearch for Village Inn and found a whole list of company feedback forother companies with the word village in it such as Terry's Village,Village Modems...ect. Whatever upgrade you have applied to make thisbetter, go back to the old way it was a whole lot simpler..
Once again I've read several letters today which were pretty wellwritten until the last paragraph -- the one which tells the companywhat the letter writer would like to see done.
Just get rid of the prompt "Based on this, here's what I would like'Company X' to do" and the requirement that the letter writer putsomething in it to proceed. I myself have simply just put a period inthe box and when I went to edit it I simply deleted it. But I bet themajority of letter writers don't think or don't know that they can toit this way.
If the letter writer is even half-way intelligent and wants somethingdone they'll put it in the letter without a prompt. If they don'twant anything done (i.e. they just want to vent) at least the letterwriter won't feel forced into writing something that a lot of timessounds dumb.
i wrote this letter to toys are us. Then i logged out. I triedlogging in again with my email address but it will not let me. I thenmade this account. It never asked me for the email when i sinned upthe first time. so are you going to freeze my first account or notbecause this one is easier to sine on to and it works better.
I just wrote a letter to Wachovia about a bogus email I got from them.Do suggestion letters not let you remove info at the end? Its no bigdeal if anyone gets that email address, just curious. Thanks.
The last time I wrote a complaint letter, I was able to do so withoutwriting anything in the box that asked what remedy I sought ~ usuallybecause I don't ask for much. When I wrote my letter today, I leftthe same box blank and was prompted that I had to enter something inthat box as it was now mandatory.
Can you change it back to the way it was before?
I very much prefer it where I didn't have ask for anything.
This is a stupid question... but why did the letter to Wendys getremoved? Just curious
There is some nasty profanity in the replies to the StubHub letter.Can it be removed?
Please get rid of Beck James account. All this person is doing on hereis "advertising" her/his Avon website, on EVERY single letter.
Hello, I am 56 years old, employed full time
at the same job for the last nine years. This is not an ordinaryexperience for me as I do not usually write emails to people askingfor help but this is one time I am in great need and I am resorting tothe net for resources that will help me find resolution with myproblem.
I was met with some unexpected circumstances a few months back andfound it necessary to trade in a vehicle in order to get more reliabletransportation. A dealership in Ohio invited me to their showroom andI purchased a van. This was my first time ever to purchase a car outof the state of Michigan. The dealership gave me no options as to whatvehicle I could purchase. I was presented with a Dodge Van, taken fora test drive gave a bumper to bumper description and landed at thedesk of the finance administrator. They were very typical of any salestransaction; a price would be suggested, and then negotiated with themanager then back to me.
Because I had a balance on my trade in I expected my payment to be alittle more than normal. I thought I covered all the bases by askingall the questions that I thought to be important. I asked about how Iwould go about changing the title from Ohio to Michigan and was toldthat it was an option. I would have to go to the Secretary of Stateand register the vehicle and get my plates established with a Michigantag but that the title was optional. I took his word for it after allhe was giving me all the details of the transaction as we went along.At the time of the purchase I thought my transaction included taxcosts for Ohio, it wasn't until I returned home and tried to registerthe vehicle with the SOS that I had to pay the Michigan tax andregister the van including the title which came to 1500.00.
Of course I didn't have the funds to pay the SOS that day. I told therepresentative that I made the transaction in Ohio and thought taxeswere paid thru the transaction of the loan. She informed me that Iwasn't charged a Ohio tax because on the title it had NR typed in fornon resident. I didn't know that nor would I have guessed that NRstood for non resident.
I had to leave and tell her that I would have to come up with thefunds. I called the dealership and asked why I wasn't made aware ofthe NR and the whole tax thing.
Why I even bothered I don't know because they said they told me at thetime of... I'm sorry but they didn't and my son (23) is my witness hewas with me throughout the whole process.
In April I had to have eye surgery something I didn't expect and I hadout of pocket costs plus I lost a whole week of work. I contacted CPSand told them in advance that I had surgery and I would be late inmaking the April payment. The representative sounded fair andunderstanding and said ok, however shortly after that the phone callsstarted on my phone, and I overly explained the circumstances and whoI spoke with, at work - early morning and I work for a religiouscommunity that should not have to be subject to rude and invasivetelephone calls.
They would not stop until I sent in some form of payment which was myfirst pay check after I returned to work. That left me with nothingfor the remainder of the week and as soon as they received the paymentthey began to call about the next. Because of the time frame when Iwas off the next payment for May came due shortly after that. I had topay my rent which is 900 and again I explained the circumstances I wasunder and would fulfill my obligation to them ASAP.
I was only one payment behind and you would have thought I was sixpayments behind and choosing not to do anything about it. The carpayment itself is 600.00 - so between my rent due the first and thecar payment due the 12th - I need at least 1500 on hand to cover bothcosts. My budget was okay until I was hit with Michigan taxes and
As it stands the car still is not registered in Michigan because the1,000.00 dollars I was saving to accomplish that was used to make apayment in a half on the van or else they were going to send a driverto pick it up. I have tickets now and I have never been in suchdemanding circumstances as I am now with this finance
Before this purchase I never heard of CPS and I did go to their website and look it over after I knew they would be doing the financingbut it wasn't until now that I discovered numerous incident reportsand then discovered that they have an F rating with the BBB. Before Igo any further I want to say that I took what measures I thought Icould within my reach to ask the Michigan SOS
treasury in Lansing if I could set up a payment for the taxes and wasturned down. I emailed Terry Lind the head of the SOS and she alsoturned me down for installment payments.
I went back to the SOS to see if they would accept some type ofpayment plan and again no was the answer. I wrote to the AttorneyGeneral and our Governor. I am really over my head now because I havebeen ticketed, my license is suspended and fines are due and trying topay. I have no family resources to fall back on and feel like I wastaken for the biggest ride ever by both the dealership and CPS. Thepayoff for this vehicle, a Grand Dodge Caravan 2006 is 24,000 and outof curiosity I had it appraised for a trade-in and the dealershipquoted me 10,000 which leaves 14,000 negative balance, so I couldn'ttrade it in if I wanted to.
I realize that as an adult I have my own responsibilities within allof this however with all things considered I never thought that theoutcome of all of this would be so extreme. Any type of major purchaseis very stressful and when you think you covered all the bases andfind out later you didn't it is even worse. I would be very gratefulif you anyone could help or suggest something that will address theseissues or if there is a way of getting out of the loan and thenseeking auto financing Michigan without all the intimidation. Evenwith a repo, bankruptcy or bad credit I think I would still befurther ahead - what happened to me probably happens to someoneeveryday somewhere and it is unfortunate.
Thank you in advance for your time.
I understand that you guys change titles, and I like the title you puton my letter - it is much more descriptive than my original title. However, could you please please please fix the grammatical error(should be its instead of it's). That in particular is one of mybiggest pet peaves, just behind to/too and your/you're. What can Isay - both of my parents were English teachers!
It is the letter written to Time Warner Cable that is currently in 15Minutes of Fame.
Thank you!
I just posted a compliment that I thought I agreed to share publicly,but when the summary appeared at the end, it indicated that the letterwas NOT shared. I suggest that you show this summary page beforefinalizing the communication to give the writer a chance to review andaccept or change the details.

I have received positive responses to TWO letters I wrote just earlierthis week.
How do I let you and others know what has transpired?
It appears that PFB time is off again, by about 30 minutes. Why? Areyou all trying to see if we are indeed paying attention? LOL
There should be a way for a PFB user to delete unwanted and/oroffensive comments, as well as removing old sent letters from theiraccounts. I've got a couple of rather controversial letters on myaccount that have an unvelieveable number of comments, most of whichare not supporting my letter and just bash me and the othercommenters.
What happened to the Letter Writing Help Blog? I was going torecommend it to someone but noticed the link is gone from the homepage.
I handle marketing for a web retailer, and just learned of your site.I really like the idea of being able to send organic and directcustomers to a rating site that is not affiliated with a comparisonshopping engine.
I am concerned that the tone of the site seems overwhelmingly orientedtowards complaints. At this time, I would definitely not send them toyour home page. However, if your rating page is encourages objectivityand balance, it could be a great resource for us. I'm looking forwardto seeing the rating page when it becomes active.
I know I've mentioned this before, but it's worth saying again. Themore letters I read, the more I'm convinced that one of the reasonssome people make a demand at the end of their letter, sometimes evenspoiling an otherwise good letter, is because of the section in theletter generator that asks what you want the company to do. Peopleeither think they're required to put something in there, or it putsthe idea in their heads even if they had no intention of asking forsomething in the first place. It's not true in all instances, but Ithink a good number of letter writers end up asking for something justbecause they're asked.
Now, I could be completely wrong about this, but I could also beright. Pay attention to the last paragraph of some letters and seewhat you think.
So I guess my suggestion would be to eliminate that section of theletter generator, if possible, and see if it makes any difference. It might help to eliminate some of the crazy demands people make,almost as an afterthought, at the end of the letter.
There should be a way for us to provide an update to our complaints. For instance, I have not received any email from a company that I havesent a complaint to. Another company sent me an email "thanking mefor my feedback" - I sent a complaint, not feedback! As a consumer, Iwant to be aware of those companies who listen to consumers and workat correcting the bad service given to consumers.
I looked all over and couldn't find this on your site. It would benice to have a search feature by company name to read/research other'sexperiences with a certain company. I have a horrible experience withnon existance customer experience with GE and I want to see how manyothers have had the same problem.
Hooray! The newsletter is here!
Check your email, everyone.
Your 5/18/07 email did not have this home page address and there wasno place at this site to show my change of email address.
Could you provide a way for an offending company to contact a personwho posts an issue on this site, short of replying to a comment? Acompany that wants to address a problem is not always willing to posta contact number or e-mail address on a public site, to avoid creatinga "back-door help desk."
I've worked for more than one company that monitors this site and Ithink they would gladly reach out to help consumers if it can be doneone-to-one. I'm thinking of a personal message feature like thoseavailable on many online forums.
You provide a valuable service and I think this could make it morevaluable. In fact, you would be inviting companies to put their moneywhere there mouth is by removing an excuse not to act.
I have seen a few people complain that they felt pressured by the"time limit" while writing their letters. I'm sure you've noticedthat, if you take longer than 15 minutes or so to enter your letter,the server seems to time out and prompts you to log back ineffectively trashing your letter. Some people on the site havewritten and submitted letters with useful details missing, because ofthis.
I'm sure that if you could fix that you would, but it might be helpfulto point out the time out period and suggest that the letter writerselect and copy their letter before hitting post, just in case. That's what I do, and it's never yet failed me. Also, I know that theformatting in Word makes it problematic to copy straight from Word,but will copying from a .txt program like Notepad have the sameproblems? That way, people could draft their letters at theirleisure, without fear of losing it when they hit post. Just athought. :)
I would like to suggest that when comments are pulled from a threadthat a post be made on the thread that comments were pulled. Sometimes I know that I was reading a certain string of comments andthen they're gone and I go nuts wondering if I just missing them (so Iscroll up and down), were they really on that thread or were theypulled.
It doesn't have to be anything involved or even provide andexplanation (although it could), just a post noting that a string wasremoved.
I'm going to again plead my case to add a rule to the TOS that only amaximum of two accounts per household and/or ISP address be allowed.
Seriously, other than possibly a husband and wife having two accountsand using the same computer, I can see no legitimate reason for oneperson to need more than two accounts. I have yet to see a person whohas more than one (possibly two) accounts that uses it for any reasonother than to inflame, harass and incite other posters.
Has the Poetry-Babe (and her names), katzeyes (and her names) taughtus a lesson at all?
Please, PFB management - I implore you....PLEASE consider this.
It seems to me that it would benefit you as well, because it would cutdown on the drama that you ultimately get pulled into.
I'm not going to take the liberty of speaking for anyone here exceptmyself, but suffice it to say that I am one of many, MANY people whostrongly feel that this a TOS adjustment that should be considered.
I miss the newsletter.
Logic to Post Q. is a good thing not having it is Bad thing .
But having enough Moderators is another. PLS dont ask me. I was askedat another site & turned that down... BUSY BUSY BUSY
another IT techie
I don't know if this has been suggested before, but I would reallyappreciate having the ability to edit and delete our own posts. Itwould save a lot of re-postings. Please? Pretty please? With sugaron top? =)
Thank you PlanetFeedback for getting super fast results from1-800-FLOWERS. I love this site! Please let me know if you want thespecifics of my case. Excellent! Excellent! Thank you!
Thanks for the link to www.cucina.com on the main page. If you hardlysee me any more, you'll know why. I love to cook and I do think Ihave a new favorite website. Sorry PFB.
But I have some new great ideas for meals if anyone wants to come overfor dinner. :)
But could you please take care of the vulgarity on the letter that isnow number 1? It has been up for just over 12 hours now. I sent youan email and I believe others did as well. http://www.planetfeedback.com/index.php?level2=blog_viewpost&topic_id=297999&reply_id=112880#anchor112880.
Yeah! And what happened to the 'fun with shared letters' section?
Even bigger question... When is Mr. Helpful's Tip Jar coming back?
Question - is the Week in Review EVER coming back? I miss listeningto it.
Excellent idea! Right on top of the home page where you'd have to beblind not to see it! (No offense to blind people.) I just couldn'tseem to remember to check ShopperCast and the Letter Writing Helpblogs on a daily basis. This is a great reminder. Thanks!
Also, while I'm here, I would like to suggest that more peopleremember to post company responses in the section under PFB Insider. It's a good central place for everyone to check on companies, and it'sa valuable part of the site.
I have had it with this site. The people that run it are lazy andinept and couldn't care less about the flamers, the personal attacks,or the cliques. What started as an amazing resource for consumers hasturned into an exclusive club for a few hateful and snotty people whothink they are better than everyone else. The staff can't even bebothered to update the 15 Minutes of Fame regularly anymore and refuseto do simple things like fix an url so all the links to the SuggestionBox go to the current one. I'm fed up and I am far from the only one.Planet Feedback is nothing but garbage. Goodbye and Good Riddance!
Time to get on the ball, PFB! I sent a complaint letter to VerizonLocal Telephone and it bounced back to me! The email said the addressdidn't exist. Please update your database! Thanks!
Please get rid of the floating ads that follow you as you scroll upand down the page. They are extremely annoying and creepy too! The adsshoved into the letters and their replies are annoying too, but atleast they don't follow you all over the place! Thanks!
Welcome back, PFB.
We missed you today!
We should all check the Letter Writing Help blog more frequently. There's a new letter in there, but I'm too tired to read it. Maybetomorrow.
How come you've stopped updating the 15 Minutes of Fame? It's had thesame letters for over a week now. Is the PFB staff getting lazy or isthere some sort of technical issue?

The Living Room Cafe
As much as being in Hauz Khas Village somewhere gives you a feeling that you're not in Delhi, similarly, being in The Living Room Cafe would make you feel that you're not in just any other restaurant, but somewhere different. After all, there aren't many places in Delhi that sport gramophones with orange interiors and yet manage to make you a repeat visitor…!!
Start walking up the stairs and you'll be greeted by small pebbles that form the entry bed to the main door of the cafe. Once inside, what strikes you in an extremely catchy yet subtle way would be a mix of white, bright orange and purple interiors, and a central staircase that gives this place a unique style statement.
Starting with the TLR blends is a good way to quench your thirst. We ordered the 'honey dew' and the 'pompom'. The former being a refreshingly different twist to the legendary fresh lime soda, and the latter essentially a mock-tail of apple and pomegranate. Starters are fairly contemporary and if you're a fan of salsa n chicken pairing make sure you try the 'hari om pollo'.
Mains are sumptuous and delicious. We ordered the 'pollo cilantro' wherein the marinade on that perfectly cooked chicken was absolutely spot-on. What took the dish to a completely different level were those roasted green veggies and the Spanish styled baby potatoes. Big thumbs up to the mint and coriander dip that accompanied the dish.
Last but definitely not the least, make sure you try the 'chocolate pillows' if you're left with any space for desserts. Good food, pleasant atmosphere and a very courteous staff make TLR a sure shot place to visit..!!

Laura Ashley/Creme Egg graduates - pregnant after MC(997 Posts)
A place to carry on chatting after a BFP and support each other through the stressful bits. I hope to see many new graduates appearing....
Very happy for you Shell!
Thanks Sorry for the quick post but was on way to my nieces party...I made a right show burst into tears as soon as I got there, oh dear but was so relieved at the end.
Sorry to ask again bod but I have another question The sonographer showed me a dark spot and said it could be implantation scarring....the baby was on the lower left corner of the screen and this was top right so she said its nowhere near baby which was in its sack and in the right place etc....she said it was nothing to worry abt but I might bleed a little, does this sound right to you? I just want to know whether I need to prepare myself that it might be abt to go wrong anyway or accept her word that its nothing to worry abt...thanks
Squizita I am in exactly the same boat as you. I had horrific cramping for about 15 mins on Thursday night. Had early scan on Friday. By my reckoning I should be at five weeks, the scan showed a sac but nothing else, was told could be early normal pg, miscarriage or ectopic. Going back tomorrow for repeat blood. I did another poas and compared it to the first, definitely looked a lot darker and my tits are tight as drums. This has helped keep the panic at bay. This is my second pregnancy after a Mc at about 10 wks last year.
How rude I should introduce myself,
Wonderful news Shell!
Great news shell! You must be so relieved
yay shell!!
and hi aoife!
Hi Aoif - best of luck with your bloods. Feels better that its not so unusual... Hopefully a happy outcome for you with bloods and follow up scan! What I find terrifying is the symptoms for ectopic are SO normal - I now have terror about every twinge! Right now I have a wind like pain on my right... Absolutely obsessing over it. If the speck on the scan had shown as a sac etc' I'd be 'oh, wind'.
Not that I am obsessing or anything, but there are quite a few other incidences on here of people being scanned too early to see anything much, and there has been a happy ending. Good luck for tomorrow x
Hi everyone, can't believe the weekend is 1/2 over already! Anyway, today I've been having some period like pains (have had these before) but have also had some shooting pains, they haven't been too bad, and are in the uterus/stomach/central area, but I haven't experienced them before and apparently ligament stretching starts in 2nd trimester, I'm only 6 weeks.
I'm probably over analysing, but is this normal?
shell yes see it all the time. It's just like a bit of a bruise. Sometimes it causes a bit of a bleed. Sometimes it doesn't just gets "reabsorbed". We only worry about them if they are really big but obviously yours wasn't, the sonographer just wanted to warn you in case you got a little bleed - hopefully you wouldn't be a panicked if you did. But prob will be anyway!
Honestly shell try not to let it worry you xxxxxxx
Aiof - sounds about right for 5 weeks. Hope you get blood results.
Vocal - sounds normal to me - obviously if gets really bad get checked out but I have had also rats of odd pains x
In other news - cat has a cold - he is hilarious and feeling v sorry for self and keeps trying to get in bed with us. he has had a firm no - but had to google if can catch cat colds. Apparently I am safe.
Also seem to have put a lot of weight on already can't fit in any of my jeans! Argh - I think this is mostly down to being a greedy cow and not actual pregnancy but not impressed and had a melt down in shops. Don't know what to buy, its too soon for maternity wear but I am seriously running out of clothes!!!
Bod I feel your clothing pain! Mine is mainly down to bloating from flipping constipation and also because I already have a DC my stomach muscles are not what they used to be! If all goes well I have another 5 weeks of trying to hide this at work. Aaargh! I don't want to buy new work clothes for 5 weeks!!!
Good luck for today guys X
Aofe - just been for the quickest trip to A&E EVER... just for the bloods in and out 10 min. Again, nurse was lovely (she even said I was 'young' ... heheh oil of olay) seemed very relaxed and was basically acting as if this is all quite normal- hopefully because it is! She said not to worry even if I have twinges.
Vocalista - I had pains like that from week 4 and apparently they are normal. Partly why my GP booked a scan too early so now being monitored.
Bodecea and Gardenworm - I am in total confusion over what to buy... I don't dare believe this is (as they say) 'an early uterine pregnancy' until I see a print out of a scan and bloods! My boobs are big and tender already and I just wanna buy some soft bras but don't want to jinx anything. At the moment I have 2 non-wired bras I'm wearing on rotation (one day wash, one day wear) haha!
Thanks bod that's just what I needed to hear...she said she told me so I wouldn't panic
too much if there was some bleeding...thanks
I have to get my maternity clothes down from the loft...it's for my work trousers, got a week off and I know ill need them when I go back as they were hurting me last week. I said to myself I would take the pain till I had a scan...it's daft but it's like tempting fate or something isn't it Can't be uncomfy like that tho either
Hi everyone else
Heehee shell nope, I refused to buy any maternity clothes until after my 12w scan, and then refused to wear them until after the second one. Seriously considered holding off until after the NT results as well, but as I still haven't had them (nearly 4 weeks later) it's a good job I didn't.
vocalista yep - I had those too, and what I can only self diagnose as round ligament pain a bit after that too.
I had a proper freakout yesterday and somehow convinced myself I'd boiled the babies 'in the bag'. I sunbathed for perhaps an hour or so longer than I should have done, but didn't overheat, was well hydrated, and had a long swim in the middle and lunch in the shade. And it's only mid-20s so not massively hot. They're fine, aren't they?!
Thanks squizita. I am not due in until 2pm. Finding it hard this morning, so is my OH. I still feel very much pregnant, last time round I was quite shocked by how quickly I went from feeling pregnant to just not. It happened before the miscarriage was confirmed so I pretty much knew what was coming. What I think I am most scared of this time is being told that even though I feel pregnant that I am not or that it isn't viable.this day can't move quick enough for me.
Aofe- yep I feel different to my last MC, tender boobs etc', so hoping (as no bleeding) the bean just implanted later than usual but in the right place. Did they give you first bloods results? Mine were reassuringly normal (i.e. pregnant but not showing yet levels... matching the scan precisely) I'm so glad they did! Didn't feel queaze this morning so a bit worried, but the boobs, twinges etc' still here!
Hello can I join please? Just got a bfp this morning. Excited but v nervous after mc at end of jan.
Hey zeux, glad you found us!! And congrats again
Thanks janie!!
Woo hoo! Just got results back. Hcg levels have indeed doubled. Another scan booked for the 19th. Panic button now reset. This is going to be a looooong 8 months (fingers crossed). Squiz, you had any results yet? Welcome newbies. I will hopefully now be a bit less mental.
belle fab news. How you can chill out now although if you are anything like me that will lat all of 2 minutes !
zeuz welcome to the thread and congrats xxxxxxx
I was like that with DS anda and I wouldn't buy any baby stuff till after 20 week scan...I'm not superstitious so I didn't think it was jinxing or anything it was more if something does go wrong I didn't want to have to look at it....it's all here now tho so doesn't feel the same iyswim. I used the Doppler every day on hols last time I was so worried abt sunbathing, all was fine
Hi zeux congrats!
Good news aoife hope you've relaxed a bit
Thanks shell - I'm the same. My bounty pack and Emma's diary pack are hidden down the back of the sofa along with some bits people have given me. If I can't see them then they're not there. I haven't bought anything at all yet. I think maybe after about 28 weeks (have scared myself silly reading about premature twins). Have sat in the shade today, but have felt normal movement so think everything's okay (for now!!)
Hi Zeux lovely to see you again - congratulations!
Aoife - that's fantastic news!!
Hi all my bloods went from 5000 to 7500 so they need to re-do them Tues to be sure as they are high and increasing BUT they want to see them double over 72hr. The registrar wasn't very comforting she kept saying the pregnancy seems to be 'healthy and ongoing but we can't rule our ectopic until Tuesday's bloods and scan'... I know this is to cover her back but scary; if it is tubal is it growing extra fast to completely wreck my insides?? My progesterone is 180 which she didn't bother saying I had to ask. Then she says it suggested an ongoing pregnancy and is a good sign but then does some more back-covering. I just checked this online (Dr Google yeah I know- but I was recalling something the EPU nurse had said) and apparently high progesterone is a good sign, less than 2% of ectopics have high progesterone so hopefully this IS a good sign.
Anyone able to verify these stats?
Well we will see on Tuesday ... looks like a healthy growing bean, fingers crossed it's where it should be.
