I would like to suggest that you put some checks in place to stop hosts from reviewing themselves or posting bad reviews of the competition, as some hosts are really bad for this. require all reviewers to complete some basic details (name, address, email,website hosted with this host, time with host), and send out a validation link via email. Ideally the email address should be using the domain they listed as their website. record the hosts IP address when they sign up and do not allow any reviews from the IP or from the domain of any listed host.
that should put a stop to most of the dodgy reviews :-) On Fri, Nov 4, 2011 at 7:01 PM, Steve Bryant <[email protected]> wrote: > > I am mostly a lurker on this list, but this has to be about the most common > question that I see asked.
