Why do you believe that ChiefDelphi is the place for constructive criticism for referees?
My opinion is there are many other more official ways to handle a poor reffing situation (because, yes, they do exist. Yes, they need to be addressed.)
Here are some suggestions:
1. Question Box at the event. This is the quickest and most official method of questioning a referee.
2. Talking to the Volunteer Coordinator in person about your concerns. Usually the VCs contact information can be found on the event website. As a VC myself, this is extremely great information to know. Sure, I may ask if you want to ref yourself, or if you know of anyone who will (I'm always trying to recruit everyone around me anyway), but I'll listen, I'll note your concerns, and I may reassign the guilty ref to a different position at the next event IF POSSIBLE.
3. Talking to the Head Ref about your concerns. The HR won't be able to explain much about a call after the event is over, but they can listen to your concerns and take them into account for the future.
4. Talking to the Event Coordinator about your concerns. (similar to the VC).
If you absolutely must address it via social media or ChiefDelphi, then don't simply say, "The reffing is poor. This call was wrong." Because that isn't constructive criticism at all. It's acting like a backseat driver. If you truly believe that CD is the media to use and the way to make change, then
suggest a solution to go along with your criticism. Otherwise it's not CONSTRUCTIVE, and it's just complaining and whining.
