this forum would allow ppl to post their bad experiences with products and websites...there is a lot of complaints here and there about some sites/ products and they are genuine concerns but dont always get posted in every thread dealing with that site/product.... this would give members a chance to share those concerns... i think one of the greatest powers of this site is the power of sharing the info good or bad... if there is a site out there screwing ppl the members should know about it...

im making this a pull so the admins can see if there is a care for this type of forum here...obviously administration makes the final decisions...even if its voted more yes doesnt mean it will happen there is alot more work for them...

you might consider making it a poll instead ;)

but on a serious note it sounds like a good idea.

i thought that was one of the reasons why the product reviews forum was created.

I think it would be a good idea to have someplace to report websites (stores) where you get crappy or non-existant customers service, they don't ever give you your rebate, etc

Product review is great, but how many stores are there where you can buy exactly the same product? If there are say, 10 and 9 of them are great stores (websites) but 1 is crappy with bad customer service and refuse to honor coupons or rebates, I for one would like to know which one is the bad store or website.

The product can be good or bad, but it's the same no matter where you buy it. It's the stores or websites I'd like to have a forum to go to so I can check THEM out before I buy.

i personally dont like nor trust reselleratings myself...if i wanted to use them i would have no reason to come here... but i am here aint i...alot of the their votes could be for certain situations that we dont know. i have seen these bs sites rated there with high scores because maybe the owner littered their site with bs good ratings...SD protects us from this because of the moderation of newbs...if its just a forum to post there is no rating and ppl can just read why someone warns of that website. nor do i believe i was indicating this should be some type of websites rating forum... i think there is way too much time involved with that and since mods are the ones that will be responsible and dont get paid i would hate to put that much more work burden on them...

that would be a good idea
i have no knowledge that the product review has anything to do with websites... but i certainly would not be against it if the admin would change the topic of it to website/product... but before any major amounts of ppl would use it for website review the title would need to be changed to read such... but for the most part i am trying to have a forum just for complaining about bad experiences others that have good experiences with the same site could offer their info as well but the main idea is to offer warnings...
