My3Cents

This is an okay review site where one can either compliment a product or company or even complain about a product or company. However there are problems with the site and these are:

1. Attacks from members can be overwhelming and even to the point of harassment. Here is an excerpt of a very scary story from the complaints board about this issue.

". The problem is with the regular members out there. As soon as they see someone new has posted an opinion about anything, they pounce. They attack. Relentlessly. Over and over and over again.

They attack your intelligence. They attack your spelling. They attack your responses. They blame you for what happened to cause you to complain. They challenge why you even bothered to make the complaint. The pound and pound and pound you. They just sit back and wait until someone new comes along, and then they attack.

It gets so bad out there - on Feb. 13,2010, a person posted a typical complaint about a typical situation, nothing memorable. But the My3cents.com people smelled her, and they mercilelessly surrounded and verbally beat her black and blue, with dozens and dozens and dozens of figurative punches to the face and kicks to the ribs - until this person gave up and wrote that she had just swallowed enough pills to kill herself.

Did the people on My3cents.com care? No way! At first they were oblivious to the person's claim that she was commnitting suicide - they actually kept beating her up (this was day two of the assault, by the way).

Someone eventually pointed out that there was no longer a reason to keep up the assault, and they started screaming how her death wasn't their fault! The whole conversation changed from "This person and her opinions are so stupid" to "I didn't say anything mean or bad to her. You can't blame her death on me."

Whether she killed herself or not is not the point; all we know is that she said she was going to. The point is that she had no idea what she was getting herself into when she went to that site to express her opinions. She had no idea there would be hours after hours and day and day of attacks on everything about her."

2. The site coming from personal experience also does not have a good filtration mechanism at times also as well especially when it comes to posting a complaint which may end up being refused by the site though it may be legitimate. In other words its filtering mechanism is sometimes flawed at times.

my3cents.com needs to get some sense in its operations and with its members in how they deal with people.
