Breeders are not allowed to post reviews of themselves. We will be installing additional filters in the future, depending on need and demand, and if it becomes an issue. Breeders will be allowed to post a single rebuttal to every review, to eliminate a bad-mouthing and bashing by competing breeders. At the beginning we will carefully monitor and moderate the reviews, to make sure they are not abused (similar to the way posts are moderated on this forum). Thanks for an intelligent question !  |
You have nothing in place to stop breeders or their friends from posting either rave reviews about them selves.
Again, NOTHING about your site makes it any more reputable than Kiji or Puppyfind or the local classifieds. It's buyer beware and you ought to be ashamed of yourself for giving bad breeders another outlet to push their puppies on an unsuspecting and uneducated public.
