Yes, the zero % over zero feedback.
Obviously a -1 still counts for 0% and it's negative (Red)

Shouldn't 0 be gray or black? I don't see why is it red, as it is neither good or bad.
(1) 0% means 1 negative feedback was received.  This should be red.
(0) 0% means 0 feedback was received.  I have changed this to gray.

Not sure if you meant just the (0) ones or not, but thought I should clarify just in case.  Thanks for the suggestion!

Changed the sort of the Browse list to sort by number of feedback received.  The list was getting long, and I wanted people to more easily see the feedback that was being left.

Changed the color of in-content links from green to blue.

Added coloring of the feedback... green = mostly positive, yellow/brown = some positive, some negative, red = mostly negative.

In an effort to continually improve the service, I have made a few changes:

- I can now ban people who I see are abusing the system
- Comments, Business, and a related URL are all required fields in the feedback system now.
- Usernames of the people who leave feedback are now shown publicly.  This is so you all can more easily tell if someone legitimately has 8 positive feedback, or if 7 of those were left by the same person.

I have also improved website security according to suggestions made in a security audit.  I still have more work to do on that front, but no one is going to be stealing your password or anything.

Open to further suggestions!

It looks like the website is *starting* to take off - I am seeing a new registration every couple of hours or so, without any incentive attached.  Let's hope that it's reached critical mass already and will continue building on its own.  Smiley

Just yet another idea:

Associate more than 1 URL with one account. Many people, like myself, has more than 1 site and URL.
I thought about that... but then again, what if the websites split out and become owned by two different people?  I suppose situations like that could be taken on a case-by-case basis.  I'd kind of like to see it be on a "per-business" basis than a "per person" basis, if the person owns more than one distinct business.

Thoughts?

Nope, and certainly not myself, which is why I ask people to test it out and find holes!

New feature added:  Feedback is now calculated as a percentage of positive to positive+negative.  Neutral feedback is not counted towards the percentage, but it calculated towards the total number of feedbacks received.

I have created a test user, so anyone who wants to try it out (leaving positive/negative/neutral feedback) is welcome to leave whatever sort of ratings on the test user that you want.

Good catch, thanks for poking holes in my security so I can fix them now!  Smiley

It should be fixed now.  No hidden emails showing up in javascript code.

Guess today I'm specially good on detecting security holes  Grin
Found one on my casino engine that would let people to double bet (fixed now...  Wink ). Nobody is perfect, eh?

Just a small thing left, you forgot to skip the hidden emails when filling the arrays.

means something like this:

foreach($users as $u){
  $l = explode("@",$u['email']);
?>
users.push('');
domains.push('');
}
?>

Turn to this:

if($user['hidde_email'] == 0){
foreach($users as $u){
  $l = explode("@",$u['email']);
?>
users.push('');
domains.push('');
}
}else{
?>
users.push('');
domains.push('');
}
?>

I will implement that, thanks for the heads up!

People can also, optionally, opt to hide their email addresses from the public to avoid such spam harvesting as well.  In that case, it would just be used in the future for password recovery.

Security issue! Critical!

Mails are displayed as is in your page, this is ground for harvest for spam crawlers.

Encode the mails with JS or PHP GD in order to prevent it.

The most simple to be this (not 100% effective, but still somewhat effective):
At the beginning of the list
Code:

Within the cell that displays the email address:

Profile claiming has been implemented.  If someone else adds your business or name to the database, you can now claim it.

Also, I have now disallowed the changing of website addresses and business names.  I figured if people were leaving negative feedback on your profile, you would probably have a lot of incentive to try and change it to something else entirely to make it look like no one is leaving negative feedback for your business or screen name.

I would leave it to be changed, just not immediately changed. Or changed manually at request.
It may happen people with bad feedback to want to change but so does people with good. Put for an instance some guy who starts his business with a free domain, like dyndns.org or so, and as he succeeds buys the .com domain...
Agreed.  I will certainly make exceptions for people who contact me directly to get information changed, when it is obvious they aren't trying to hide the company from receiving negative feedback.

Also, I'm going to allow people to change it if they leave it blank during registration.

Updated the website.  You can now add in vendors/merchants/individuals if they are not currently registered on the site.  I will create a way for these persons to claim ownership of those profiles shortly.

As an example, I created a profile for Veritus101, someone who has scammed a forum member here.  I would appreciate help listing any other scammers you hear about on the website so that other people can avoid them in the future.

Yeah, they're the kind of questions that just make me... Huh  So many variables and reasons for doing and not doing each one.
