here's a copy of a post I made on the main board about this a wek or so ago.......
OK...back to the idea I suggested like a year ago.....
OK Sam, I will try to sit down and figure out a format for this (not for the board, but for the post---the board is your ball of wax)....and send it to you for review...maybe you can even post it on the contributor board or something.
I think there will be problems with peoples 'objective opinions", but I also know there are lots of posts on the main board with people asking about experiences with certain products.
The board will have to have a non-reply function...otherwise, we will have people replying saying that post is BS. That is not what we want. If the person thinks the post is BS, then they need to post a review of their own to let others know what they thought of it. Having someone review it prior to posting will indeed help to keep the format consistent...not edit, but review..and if there is a problem with the review submitted, that person must notify the person who submitted the review, and let them change it.
Anyways, Sam, let me know if you want me to work on this...ok ?
The idea is not to sway opinions, but to allow others to see what our experiences are with a given product, and then they can decide if they want to try it or not.
