Voting Buttons for Useful Product Reviews

[Andrew Turner]

Here's a suggestion: add code which allows users to vote on the usefulness of product reviews, similar to what Amazon.com has. I'd think it might promote good reviews (because everyone wants to see "49 out of 50 people found this review helpful") and encourage buyers to read the reviews, all of which might lead to higher sales. Just a suggestion.

Eventually, we plan to add that sort of thing (and we'll also apply it to things like messageboard posts). However, given that our volume of reviews isn't terribly high, it's not at the top of the to-do list yet.

So you mean one day I might have a little blip next to my avatar that says "97 of 109 Reviewers think this poster is a total ass"? That'd be AWESOME.
