Since this treads close to outright advertising and possibly spamming, I thought I'd see what Jordan, Admins, Moderators, and our esteemed members might think of this.
My idea is that we have a thread (or a forum) where users can post their reviews of products and services, especially those which might not warrant their own thread. Generally, we tend to value the opinions of those we know, or at least, have been members of GTPlanet who are in good standing.
An example:
I really like Rubberstuff Mulch. Why? Because it doesn't float away in a storm (it's survived 4 hurricanes without blowing away), it reduces weeds, and best of all...it's made from old tires! I've used it since 2003 with great results.
[Pros]
[Cons]
[Rating, if necessary]
[website link, where you bought it, etc.]
I think its a good idea, but it could lead to obvious problems...but I still feel the benefit outweighs the maintenance required to keep the thread free from obvious (and possible) spamming and flooding. Then again, flooders/bots/spammers generally just create junk in any old forum anyhow, so from my experience it may not be a difficult thread/forum to maintain.
Your thoughts, everyone?
