The WSO Section Needs a Major Overhaul. Agree or Disagree?

It could be too easily manipulated.

Then Warrior Forum could become liable for sales that are made I believe. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

There is a support system for reporting scam - report it in the thread or use the helpdesk: Warrior Forum Support

Otherwise every WSO would become a flame war. Everyone has at least one unhappy customer that could unfairly plague every new offer they release.

There's a suggestion forum for these discussions: Suggestion Forum

Disagree with all of it.

1. Such a system is easily gamed unless you only allow buyers to review (and even then it can be)

2. The forum doesn't have access to buyer data much like a billboard doesn't know that you went to McDonalds after reading it.

It's an advertising medium. When you buy a billboard ad they don't make you meet any criteria other than the law and an ability to pay.

Because it's an advertising medium. If people get scammed and report it, the forum will take the ad down. That's it, that's their responsibility.

See the first point.

There is a protection system in place. It's called due diligence and common sense. If you don't have such a system ...

All I'm seeing here is a recommendation for how someone else can spend money so you have to put less effort in.

If you think it's such a good idea then set up a WSO review system of your own. If it turns out to be a good idea, you'll make money off it.

People buy WSOs, don't like the content (even though it might be a great WSO that would work) and would the rate it low even though it doesn't deserve it. Though such is life, a review system possibly could work.

I think the mods have better things to do than personally review thousands of WSOs per month don't you? Would be too time consuming and not practical. What would be the criteria for them deciding whether it was allowed to go on sale or not? What if they personally didn't like it and just decided not to allow it to go live?

Warrior Forum is just a market place, would be difficult for them to take responsibility.

How can you prove someone bought it or not?

Rating is not necessary because the buyers will be able to rate with their reviews. SPAM won't last long here, Warrior Forum. Each sellers have their own refund policy; therefore, if you find it not usable for you just confirm for refund with reasonable cause.

While some reviews bias to the seller but also there are many other reviews about the products as I could see in WSO.

In all, it is not necessary because everything is setting up the it goes and actually effective in controlling.

This has been debated endlessly for YEARS!

It is what it is. Caveat emptor, don't believe everything you read, and if you have a negative review of something you purchased, by all means post your dissatisfaction to that WSO thread.

Yes I think there should be an feedback system for the seller just like ebay or fiverr where buyers can post feedback & everything !

What if there was a way that you could buy a WSO and then leave your comments on it? You could say anything you want, but you can run the vendor down. Right it is the forum.

I believe the problem with the section is not the products, but the users. Now don't everyone get all up in arms about this. Yes some suck, but I have seen some people dump on a product that worked. For the most part people who buy wso's don't feel like investing the time effort or money. Sorry folks. i have been reviewing WSO's for a long time now and there are a lot real gems out there.

Instead of rating the product why not just go back and leave an honest review on the thread? Not one that comes just after opening the wso and you are all hyped up. Give 2 or 3 hours. Digest. Then head back over and look out for your fellow warriors by leaving a real review with the good and bad. This is not a common practice, because a lot of customers are out for themselves.

Really it is not like you are paying an arm and a leg. We are in a time where the avg price point of WSO's is like $7 on a dime sale. Not a big investment. Also if that is a lot of money for people. THEY SHOULD NOT BE BUYING WSO'S! Most arena's of this business will require some money and some if not a lot or work. How bad do they want it.

If the concept of community was a little more present in the WSO section(as there is in other parts of the forum) The buyers would actually come back and leave honest reviews. Not hype reviews based on being sold on copy and being excited, and not troll reviews (you all know who you are). I just think buyers need to accept far more personal responsibility.

I agree with the other posters. If it aint broke then dont fix it. The WSO section is simply a platform and it's up to each buyer to do their due diligence

There is a thread like this that comes up every so often

I personally think the wso section is a great idea because it allows small time marketers to get their foot in the door with releasing their first products ad also a platform that marketers can use to market their future products

Rather than think about how it can be improved just make the most of what you have got like many others are doing and building a very good business from the wso section

There will always be the odd few people that don't deliver on their promise or are involved in some kind of a scam those types of people are reported to the forum.

We appreciate you posting this but you really will be better off using your time more productively like contributing some top quality products to the wso section rather than pointing out problems which you think need addressing

We all have our own opinion though so that's cool :-)

It may need an overhual, but that is asking WF to cut out an income stream. They can't possibly monitor every wso, which is our responsibility to use due diligence. Also like paul nicholls said it allows small marketers to put their foot in the door which is a step in the right direction.
