peer review forum?

[hologon]

Peer review has always been a good thing and with the advent of the 'Net is a much easier thing.

On photo.net they have a "Neighbor to neighbor" section where you can list your experiences (good and bad) with any dealer or printer.

Maybe we could have a similar forum?

(Yes, this was sparked off by the post in Handguns about J&G and now I know where to stay away from!)

Thanks, everyone!

Smells like a can of worms to me!

I'll have to agree with George. It would devolve into a ******* contest. Some auction sites have rating systems, and they seem to be evenly balanced between "He sucks!" and "He rules!"

Give it a miss.

*nod* That's true...

... but I _have_ noticed that the clientele here at TFL to be a good deal more polite and respecting than at many other forums.

Guess it's one of those concepts that's reasonable in theory but poor in execution.

Yeah. Except for George and his smelly can of worms. Bleah! :p 8p (second one's wearing glasses!)

It works pretty well at BladeForums. Of course, the same rules apply to The Good, The Bad, The Ugly! as the other forums at BF.

Actually, I have seen some pretty petty discussions at some sites over stuff like this... some people/companies have fan clubs that would rather trash the competition than tout their own products.....

TFL has a simple solution:

If your experience is soooo incredibly good or bad that you feel like sharing: Just start a thread about it.
