Thanks for the thoughtful post. I know at our store we need to manually mark and remove all of our sold orders as soon as they appear online. This is to try to prevent the insinuation of false advertising or bait and switch tactics. We still get a bunch of inquiries in the few hours they are...
Fair enough. I don’t know what industry or business you are in but I guess there are some rules about gathering and posting confidential information to the general public without permission to do so. . No matter what the information is. I hope the integrity of the security policies put in place...
I do apologize for hiding my identity. Part of it was because I am quite well known. The problems I had with the issue of posting confidential information would ruffle quite a few feathers. Probably why most people here don't use their real names here either.
The thing about allocations is that...

Yes, I am who you say. I am also a person who has done his best to balance honesty, fairness and transparency as much as I can provide in my profession. I am told I am one of the top Corvette salespeople in the country. My concern is still the same. Posting confidential information is not a...
Important people at a dealership are those that can get managers fired for not putting in an order for them. There is nothing that I have written here today that should surprise anybody who is part of any corporate organization with internal data not meant for the public. Imagine an employee of...
It would save me a bunch of grief for sure. Until GM can ship vehicles by airplane instead of trains where stuff can sit in Chicago or Kansas City for several weeks it will be difficult to come up with more accurate information than what we get now.
Wrong side of the country.
Ultimately my original concern remains. If information comes from sources that are not confidential or from people who are not using such sources, there is no problem with that, such as the website you linked to. Otherwise there is a major issue that must be resolved...
