After a little PM chat with a noob to steroids and new member to our board, it became apparent to me that the rating system may be flawed.
The noob was ready to pull the trigger on an order from top rated source, simply because of the number they were rated.
After suggesting to the noob that he check for current reviews from current members, I checked out that top rated src. Most of the votes are from members that have not posted much at all, and seem to make an account just to leave a review.
I also saw a src on another brd, with the same rating system do a gear giveaway promo. Any member with xx karma could get a couple of free vials, no strings attached. Many of those members pinned that prop, and quickly left stellar reviews for that src. The volume of good reviews moved that src right to the top of the list.
Has anyone been brain storming of new ways to rate our sources? Should a src with 40 great reviews really rate so much higher than the src with 10 great reviews? 5 stars is 5 stars, right?
Perhaps they could be lumped together in star categories, 5 star, 4 star, etc etc with no emphasis on the sales volume.
We really do have some great src's here, just thinking they should all share the spotlight if they are 5 star sources.
Cheers,
