Title: Subforums separating vendors by continent
Post by: r77fliX on August 08, 2013, 03:00 am
Not only will this separate vendors by continent but clear the rumor mill forum.

Anyone agree?

I think it isn't a good idea because vendors are also shipping internationally, so i don't see any sense in it.

People from different continents want to write reviews at their favourite vendor review thread.
We're living in a world of globalisation, you should have noticed it ;)

Thanks for your reply JXXL

I still dont agree. If i want to find Aus vendor reviews I have to use the search tool. Upon searching I can threads from all relevance types and all dates. This isnt helpful as i have to trawl through these threads to find what I need (if i can find what i need at all)

I should be able to enter a "Australasia/Oceania" subforum to see relevant threads about vendors who post/based in this continental region.

I had a Suggestion in a thread called Section on your name about drugs: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=208937.msg1524802#msg1524802 which might offer a hypothetical solution, I'll quote myself:

Quote from: Burning Babylon
There's one aspect that could potentially matter here though, and that would be if there were a Concept called "Review Groups". That would basically be User Created Groups made for the entire purpose of comparing specific Drugs with each other as to how price worthy and/or quality measure up for those specific Drugs. Let's say for example someone creates a group called "Hash Quality", the rules could be set by a Group Leader so all Reviews from the Hash Section automatically get submitted to this group and the Group Leader ( and others like sub-Moderators etc. if the Group Leader give those rights away ) specifically choose the best Reviews for each Product and filter everything else out. Here one could create an alternative Review System as well which would be separate of the Silk Road 5/5 System so one could focus entirely on the Product and not on things like Stealth, Service and so on. I could go on a little more in detail but seeing as it's probably never going to happen anyway meh.  :(

The Forums aren't really well designed to handle Reviews all that well, especially considering how few of all Active Buyers are using them to begin with. For any alternate System to work it has to be very very Accessible to the Average User and have a very Appealing Interface. For example technically the Discuss Function which is visible for each Individual Product or Vendor which was implemented not long ago fulfills the definition of a solution to this, but in reality it doesn't work very well since it simply does not work very well since very few so far are using them for those Purposes.

Either way the Key is being able to Compare easily with other Vendors, and not even the Forums are a good place to do that at the moment without investing a lot of time Researching each Vendor manually which is not exactly an ideal Situation.
