This is prolly a good idea. There seem to be more and more these days, especially with Boost. Maybe make it a sub-category?

If you are tired of Boost, sick of poor text messaging, and generally want to rant then I have news for you!
Howard Forums has a place specially designated for you to do this:
http://www.howardforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=90
In the future any rants about your service or changing service or issues you have excluding current customers will be moved to this forum or deleted.
We already know there are issues with text messaging. Please try to focus on the positive in this forum or post your rant about the service in the appropriate forum.

Same time, I'd encourage the mods not to be too overzealous in moving stuff to the Rants forum. Long-running issues (like the text messaging delays) benefit from exposure in the main forums, since we can all share experiences and experiment results there.
Twitter: Captain2Phones Carriers Used: Sprint PCS, Nextel, T-Mobile, AT&T, Boost Mobile. Phone Manufacturers Used: Samsung, LG, Motorola, RIM, HTC, Sanyo, Danger, Palm, Apple.

There is a nice clause in the rule to help with that VCI.
Also while I'm replying to you, please be sure you report problematic posts and don't reply to them as you will end up in the same boat as the person you reported

Agreed. There needs to be some way to make notice of the bad parts of a carrier. Maybe a sticky for rants? Just an idea.Originally Posted by VCI_Cell

....this is exactly why a "Providers Rants and Kudos" forum exists. People can find all the, yep, you guessed it, "rants and kudos" in there if that's what they're looking for. If people actually want to discuss an issue, like "how could Boost fix the text messaging issue", that post would most likely stay put in this forum. Posts that contain nothing more than complaints and ranting, posts that can't be "answered" in a way, will be moved to the "Providers Rants and Kudos" forum, just like the first post in the sticky says.

Have you read the rules lately? They're usually in a sticky at the top of the page.
If you have a problem with a post for any reason, please report it rather than responding to it, and a moderator will be along shortly.

I left this detail in the post so moderators would have the ability to determine whether or not a post would be deemed appropriate for the forum.
excluding current customers
We don't need to hear "Oh I hate boost and I left 3 months ago" here.

Yes, you are exactly correct; That is the proper place to put rants. But I feel it should be a subset of "Boost Mobile" so that it can be referenced easily. Globing them all together is almost as good as creating one called garbage and sticking it in there (granted, rants are roughly equal to garbage).

^^In that case, every carrier forum should be allowed to have a sub-forum for rants then, no? Its a lot of work to set that up, and I don't think the forum has seen a need for that quite yet--not to say that it won't ever happen.
My screen is bigger than yours
I think that writing up a detail post about the texting problems with boost and giving it a good title and placing it as a sticky would probably be enough and say here the info we know texting has a problem discuss the problem and then say if you wantto rant go to the rants forum. That way potential customers can read if they wish about the texting problem and they can make up there own mind. Which out having a bunch of childish rants.

Since some people seemed to think the title of this thread meant to post your rant about Boost here, the thread has been closed. This is a rule, just like the other rules of HowardForums.
