I'm kind of thinking a product review section may not be a good idea either. For example, a couple of years ago there was a post about a former product I had been using and really loved and had great results from. So did many other people. But a few did not and mentioned it in a thread stating that the product 'sucked'. Well in truth, the product was and is a really great product, but as with so many things, not every one product will work well on every single Malt. Sometimes people use things incorrectly or even wrong items within the product line. And since people can google product names and see things written in threads here on SM, we should keep in mind that what may not work great on a Malt may work wonderfully on say a Scottish Terrier. If we have an actual section on product reviews, I feel we could potentially do some great companies some real harm.
I rather we keep things on a positive note and when we find something we really love, share it with the group in the appropriate section. Then it's up to the individual as to whether or not they would like to try it. We have an awesome search engine and all you need to do is type in a product name and you'll get all the posts that have that product name in it. I'm not saying you can't say something didn't work for you in a thread that is already started about a product. It can often open dialogue as to why the product didn't work for you like it did for others and maybe there is a simple solution as not using the right product or not using it the correct way. Or that it just doesn't always work the same on every Malt, but still a great product. When I think of all the human shampoos and conditioners out there, some work great for me and others don't. And often the ones I don't like for me, a good friend with great hair does. So there is a reason for all those different hair products. Just using hair products as an example. I just don't think it necessary to start threads on products you don't like. jmo.
As for comparing something like this to the Breeders Section, I'm sorry but I can't say it is the same at all. In the Breeders Section, people often ask about a breeder, give a heads up on puppies, or are asking for breeder names for certain areas. There has never been to my knowledge a thread started simply for the purpose of giving a positive or negative review on a breeder. Sometimes when someone asks about a breeder, a person who has had personal experience may share their great experience or say something to the effect that they would not purchase from them again. But it's not a review on breeders.
