I am not quite sure what is going on with this. A bit disapointed as it is definitely something i expected when buying links sql, also seems a pretty essential thing really, one thing almost all free products have!

Anyway...

This is how i would like to see it work:

i) Ability to have both rate and review. Also ability to seperate whether you are required to register for both. I would want people to register to review but not for rate so that i could for example have a rate form on someone's webiste. A visitor rates the site, comes to mine and is then asked to register if they want to leave comments.

ii) validation of reviews. (toggable). Admins can go through them and validate one by one, and reviews for links in an editor's category can also be validated by an editor (a toggable permission). Also nice would be the ability to set a user permission to add reviews without need for validation, ie they can just add their own reviews straight into database.

iii) The review screen would look something like widgetz one for links 2.0. Graphical stats would be nice (but not sure if possible with current data storage of rates???). Toggable fields for review as well clearly and perhap even the possibility of more than 1 number so you could do 10 for presentation 7 for content etc...

iv) ability to for link owner to receive emails of new reviews.

v) ability to turn on/off html in reviews.

i think that is about all. I would like to knoew what is avaliable in the current gossamer-threads plugin so we can see how much work needs to be done....
