Implemented Review System

[Nik]

Upvote if you'd like to see a more thorough review system. It would be applicable to corvette themed stores and outlets, maybe help provide an easily accessible review portal for users.


This is now in development.

As this is a fairly sizable undertaking I will pass out the plate for any adhoc donations.

Created a temporary feature sponsorship campaign here:

CCF Reviews Sponsorship

canadiancorvetteforums.com

Sponsors will get early access when a prototype is ready as well as a fancy badge and possibly ability to claim Microsoft as your first business

There is no obligation to donate and development will continue irrespective but any help is always appreciated.

I'll advise the group of timelines and initial feature sets shortly.

What's the "review system"?

What's the "review system"?

Sort of like Google reviews but with entirely user submitted content ie I bought something from Bob's online store so we centralize Bob's reviews into a single page as it were.

I could see value in that.

Ya, I can see a lot of use in that. We always want to know where to buy inexpensive parts etc. but forget what others have said.

And from the not being of any help at all department.... "Who's Bob?"
Otherwise not a bad idea.

I think it could be a good database. I upvoted but not sure many members have noticed the vote tabs before.... For those that don't, top right of the OP post are the up and down arrows.

CCF Yelp? I would rather just PM a member and ask for an opinion.

Someone has to post that they dealt with "bob's online store" somewhere before you will know who to PM. They may as well have an outlet for their review that you can access.

As long as reviews are member first-hand, not anonymous (for PM follow-up) and that hearsay is edited/removed by admin, I might find it most valuable.

I find no value if a whole buncha reviews about “buddy of mine experiences”. Need to hear it / read it from that “buddy”. JMO

For sure it'll be a more curated and robust system than google, that's one of the benefits here, we know and control our audience

Google doesn't control their audience? Who'd a thunk it....

 

[Nik]

The way I'm thinking this through will be a brand, business type of system, with draft reviews that will be checked, claim business, events per business, multi locations per business, eventually can support check ins and more advanced features.

Ultimately it will be a centralized per business view of reviews and discussions. Moderated.

Well you can still do that but who do you PM for Bob's warehouse specials? You can search, post and generate content that can easily be centralized. That's my thought process currently at least.

Definitely a double edged ⚔

You make a valid point. You are the conductor, I’m a passenger.

Perhaps “the engineer”
We do not wanna raise the attention of
“the conductor” as they check passengers
for their paid tickets …

I'm happy with reckless driver

A healthy amount of upvotes. Thank you all for reading.
