Nice thing about Oregon is that former employers are legally
prohibited from saying anything bad about current or former employees.
 Employers that do end up losing huge sums of money to former
employees taking them to court over it.  They can choose to say
something nice, or nothing at all.  In practice, most companies here
will not discuss former employees, period, for fear of getting sued
big-time for lost wages.

This goes beyond the RFC, it's about what a reasonable expectation for
an English-literate person is.

So the forum's going away?  That's about the only way things could get
unequivocally better.
