Hi con25,

thanks for making a suggestion here (and I totally agree with the whole spam thing. i get loads of those “rate our service/rental/holiday ….whatever” and i find them some of the most annoying things I can think of, especially when they insist on sending you more than one in intervals)

on top of that , and in response to the original request ( mubi, i sent this to you directly too, but just in case someone else comes across this topic):

amongst other reasons, I neither have the time or indeed too much interest to program this sort of thing.

In any case, doing this from scratch would take quite a lot of time and without a doubt the better approach I would have thought would be to use one of the many ratings plugin already available and adapt as required.
However, I don’t really have too much interest in dissecting other peoples code and hack around in there…

having said that, if this kind of thing will be requested by numerous people in the future I will revisit this particular idea, but for the moment, there are quite a number of other things that I would like to do first which would be more useful (and are more frequently requested) than this, so it’s not really going to happen from my end anytime soon (if ever)

sorry

PS: if someone else however wants to contribute/do this sort of thing in a separate plugin somewhat, i’d be happy to link to it or something….

Hi mubi, your request is valid for each country of the world, but in particular not for Germany and Austria. For to send mails you have to ask for allow to collect data from customer and also work on double-opt-in basis. In fact as Olly said, it will complicate all our lives… It is better you implement a social link possibility for the customer to rate and propagate your site, by customers efforts themselves. All you are doing by yourself as seller you need to ask for permission before and than let customer also decides whenever he wants to cancel his permissions given (to send emails in this case).
