This article has been flagged for questionable relevance. Its connection to the systemic consumer protection issues outlined in the Mission statement and Moderator Guidelines isn't clear. Articles that focus on isolated incidents, personal disputes, or local matters may not meet the inclusion criteria for the Consumer Action Taskforce Wiki.
Articles in this wiki have to meet the following criteria:
- Systemic Nature: Demonstrate a broader pattern of systemic abuse, negligence, or policies that align with modern consumer exploitation (e.g., ownership revocation, barriers to repair, privacy violations, changing the terms of the sale after the sale).
- Relevance: Relate to consumer protection issues that extend beyond individual grievances or localized problems.
- Evidence: Provide verifiable evidence or credible sources to support the author's claims and demonstrate systemic impact.
Examples of articles that do not meet these criteria:
- A single negative customer experience; with no evidence of systemic issues or company policies enabling such behavior.
- Localized disputes, such as a bad experience with a contractor or small business, better suited for platforms like Yelp or local consumer protection agencies.
- Complaints that focus on personal dissatisfaction (e.g., "I waited too long for a response") without tying the issue to broader consumer exploitation themes.
To justify the relevance of this article:
- Provide evidence demonstrating how the issue reflects broader consumer exploitation (e.g., systemic patterns, recurring incidents, or related company policies).
- Link the problem to modern forms of consumer protection concerns, such as privacy violations, barriers to repair, or ownership rights.
- Add credible sources or documentation that substantiate claims and connect them to systemic practices. i.e:
- A company that takes 5 days too long to refund a deposit is a bad Yelp review. Not eligible for inclusion.
- A company with 500,000 active repairs at any given time that purposely delays all deposit refunds for a period of five days, in order to invest/gamble with these deposits on their balance sheet, with verifiable hard proof from internal communications that this was an intentional & standard practice performed with malicious intent is eligible for inclusion.
