Hiya,

Thanks for the thoughts on this. I think my major problem with this is the actual people who I am aiming this at. I’d rather not say what it is for at this stage as everything is just in the ideas stage at the moment but I know that the kind of people who would get listed on the site would probably moan at just about anything I do regarding ratings. I think the problem with rating would be that it could very openly be abused and then end up being no good at all.

People could just down-rate everyone else other than themselves so if everyone ended up doing that then it would very quickly zero itself out. I’m not totally against the idea of rating but I think that I would have to use it as s minor part of the site and not revolve it around it too much. Also if people tended to come up higher in search results on the site due to ratings then I think that would be unfair too.

I think I am going to go with my initial thought which will be to charge slightly less to be listed on the site but then charge per category / tag and go from there.

Really quite a difficult this one as I know the sort of people that will get listed on this and I don’t think they would go for ratings very highly. A bloomin’ difficult one this one 😉 Thanks for all the ideas everyone though. If you do have any more then please do keep them coming 😊

Best wishes,

Your site must be for public school teachers. <ducks, runs>

Still can’t say but nope not school teachers, much worse than that 😉

Lawyers?

Nope sorry. I will let it all out if I find I can use ExpressionEngine for the site and once it is under way but until then sorry will have to keep it shush until then, sorry 😊

Best wishes,

Just saw an article from the UK about an eBay seller suing someone who gave him a less-than-flattering review.

Yeah I saw that too. Absolutely crazy if you ask me. If I sold anything on eBay then if there is a feedback system then I would understand that I have to do my best to get good feedback. Sounds like the buyer didn’t get a very good deal and so should be able to leave feedback to perhaps warn other people.

That’s my belief anyway. The way I see it is that we don’t get any better in life unless people tell us where we go wrong.

Best wishes,

Mark
