May I point out that you can do this right here? Having had to tutor employees on the vagaries of something like Amazon's often arbitrary and gamified system of user reviews mixed with fake reviews, I want to avoid that here. Please discuss what products you would like to praise and we can discuss it and give you feedback.
It's not perfect but if you make a post and include the URL to the product in the body then anyone using the DazDeals Plugin will see the related forum posts within the product page.
See example below with the link to a forum post just above the PA name:
Correct, and that's a big reason why Daz doesn't have a review system. In studies across the internet it has shown that they are very unreliable and a portion of the time it is a person's competitors, people who don't want them to have success, disagree with them on a personal level, or reviews based upon a lie they heard. People are free to post to the forums and make threads for reviewing products as long as they are kept civil and abide by the TOS.
As someone who frequents Amazon, I am really pleased Daz doesn't have a rating system, especially with comments. I don't have anything swaying my opinion because I see something I like that I could use and buy it. If I don't like it, I get a refund. There's enough insanity online with trolling and bots. I love to minimize my interactions with them on store sites.
I do want to add that I am pleased that the author of the thread is optimistic enough to beleave that consumers will actually read content with any rigor rather than just reading the first ai- created fake review. It is an endless toil in the forum to explain to people that, when they look at a product in the store, the blurb which says what the product contains is much more important than any promotional images. If the product doesn't say it contains a character morph, for example, there is almost certainly is no morph in the product.
I have had good experiences with Amazon reviews in the past i.e. 18 years ago. I reviewed a book and was contacted by the author who ask me if i was a designer! Unfortunately, that was a very long time ago, and now the system is broken.
Because those systems are usually awful.
People are only likely only leave a review if they feel strongly about a product, or they're being incentivised to (such as Rendo does with their reward system).
In the first case, people are often posting a review because they didn't read the description or instructions and are using the review system when they should be submitting a support ticket, giving the product unwarranted 1 star reviews.
In the second case, people are often just posting empty reviews to get their incentive, which results in a load of empty 5 star reviews. There were five star reviews on the Rendo product I had to initiate a complaint to the store on (and which was later removed) because the vendor was completely dismissive when I contacted them about major issues with it, including JCMs so bad that one particular leg bend caused the clothes to decide to turn themselves into a pretzel. No-one who had actually loaded and tested that product past the barest minimum could have genuinely thought it was the best you could reasonably expect, and frankly I'm surprised it made it to the store in the first place.
