Nothing negative about Bali allowed here. It's all restaurants, shopping, drivers, hotels etc. The way it is. It is a very useful site for those things and I appreciate & am grateful for many tips I have picked up here.
But neither reporting nor discussion of the bad aspects of Bali (and they exist, as everywhere) seems to be permitted by the FA. Besides, even the most innocuous comment (such as saying you disliked a forum-favourite restaurant) may result in mass flaming. At times, it's like the Grumpy Old Men/Women series without the humour.
I totally agree that current events in Bali & Indonesia as a whole, especially those involving tourists, should be reported. This just ain't the place, sadly.
