    I was hoping Robin and crew would consider doing a vendor review section like we do for our games. Or maybe something where we could give vendor ratings. I feel the good vendors should be onboard knowing that they have great service and fair pricing. We have been seeing a lot of shady dealings and scammers. The pinball community could use a way to weed out the good vendors from the bad and let the vendor's earn our money. I know we can do Google ratings and try to research different ways to sort through it all, but having something on the best pinball community site would help all of us sort out the good from the bad.

    Seems like a pretty good way to piss off your advertisers.

    "SHove off mate I'm not paying for a banner ad anymore unless I'm in the top 10."

    The pinball community does a pretty good of "ranking" vendors, just do a search before you buy something.

    Try searching "ASOA" and see what comes up, for example.

    Are there even 100 vendors in pinball?

    Just read these forums and you know who is good and bad, whether bad product or ripping people off. Having a black ball list probably wouldn't legally be safe for the website. Even banning scammers takes a lot of time to close their account.

    Well, but there are only two kinds of vendors...

    Not 100.

    I re-read your post, I would remove the "top 100" part, I think your intent is around reviews, not ACTUALLY sorting 1-through-100.

    I agree that a top 100 is the wrong approach.Some Kind of vender list and a way to rate experiences with them I think would be good for the pinball community on pinside.
