All the other guidlines seem reasonable, I was just curious though.....whats the thing about degrading a manufacturers name? Just out of curiousity? Like if something happens where a company is being shady, or something really sucks, or a brand particularly isn't very reliable and facts to back that statment are there we cannot say it? I just wanted to be clear thats all.

If something has happened that is questionable, please use common sense when posting the information over a public forum. To post the facts, as a warning for others, is acceptable. To simply state a negative opinion, is not.
Example:
1. I have not had favorable results using Brand X amplifiers. I have had four amps stop working, over a period of 6 months. Each time I would have an amplifier repaired, it would only work for a few months and then I would have to send it back for more repairs.
2. Brand X is junk.
#1 is acceptable, #2 is not. If you have evidence to support your claims, then state that evidence when posting.
