Reviews On Websites

[xPAINTBALLHEROx]

Just an idea but I see alot of questions asking if websites are reliable or not, so maybe have a review section for websites where the buyers/players can tell about their expierence with them.

We've discussed doing this on several occasions (including with stores/online retailers) but the level of fraud and deceptive/misleading reviews makes it a prohibitive venture.

The reason I havn't gone ahead and added the feature is that I am 100% sure that fraudulent reviews/evaluations would be a major problem, both written by users and written by actual store owners. Its already been a problem with field reviews and sometimes with product reviews for products made by smaller manufacturers.

There are certain things you can do to ensure only truthful reviews remain. Some of them are discussed at ResellerRatings.com (which is in my opinion the best retailer review website). Right now though, I just don't have the time to keep with another review system at pbreview.com. Especially one that would likely require double the amount of the time of other two put together.

And to quote ResellerRatings.com, "Anyone that lets a site such as ours "run itself" will eventually end up with a site full of worthless data that cannot be relied upon for any reason."


So, store reviews won't be added anytime in the near future. However, it is a feature I would like to add eventually.
