Or should I just leave with my virtual head held high?

I have no idea what rule I could have broken. I'm more of a reader and liker of posts. But I did reply to a post with a negative review about a company someone wanted opinions on.

It was a nice group. I'm actually sad. It's still there but its not letting me request to join.

If I did ask them I would take a gentle, tentacle approach.

I once got booted because a post was getting nasty and I said to one poster that if they had nothing helpful to add they should just scroll on rather than comment.....turns out the poster was admin haha

Captain Pike will sort them out

RobinHumphries · 23/05/2020 14:07

Maybe you should have just skated over the bad review

bevelino · 23/05/2020 14:08

OP are you feeling battered.

dodobookends · 23/05/2020 14:10

Plaicemarking.

@Pippapotomus
I really hope it's sorted out for you, and it was a horrible mistake.

You made a lot of people smile today, our tanks Wink

Onceuponatimethen · 23/05/2020 14:14

Not nice that this happened op! I think you should ask - you don’t have anything to lose Flowers

AdaColeman · 23/05/2020 14:14

You need to do some sole searching OP, to discover how you broke the house rules.

InThisMultiverse · 23/05/2020 14:15

You’re smack dab in deep waters with those sprats. Maybe there’s another side to this dory but you might feel a bit koi about telling us.

TSSDNCOP · 23/05/2020 14:20

when I saw the title I just knew this would be full of fish puns, and I was not disappointed
Well, if you like these we’re here all week, Barramundi.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 23/05/2020 14:31

But to answer your original question OP, I think you should Mullet over.

CocoCorona · 23/05/2020 14:33

OP, that’s really carp of them. I’d try to get to the bottom of this, incase they’re spreading some fishcious rumours about you 🐟🐠🐡

VeganVeal · 23/05/2020 14:33

I love this thread, its Brill

Thinkingabout1t · 23/05/2020 14:36

All these puns are giving me a haddock, I can fillet coming on. Eel go now [waves].

heronsinflight · 23/05/2020 14:39

You have to bear in mind that a lot of small businesses are on their bream ends at the moment.

QuestionableMouse · 23/05/2020 14:40

@vodkaredbullgirl

If you're correcting it's could have 😂

I'd ask op. I got banned on a forum for being abusive and when I asked why it was a mistake - should have been someone with a very similar name.

Coffeecak3 · 23/05/2020 14:52

OP you know where to Findus for more advice.

YouokHun · 23/05/2020 14:54

I think the fish puns are beginning to Flounder now

Joking aside, negative reviews of businesses are frowned upon on some social media. Horse & Hound forum won't allow it. I think there's room for litigation by the company against the forum if what's been said is inaccurate. How things like Trip Advisor get around this I do not know.
