Out of all the things this site needs it is ratings on the product purchase page not just on the forums. In my opinion this would make it better so i now what other people think about the product i’m looking at then hoping to find a review on the forums. If you could throw that in like say a 1 out of 5 star rating system and a comment about the product that would be great…Thank you

This yoyo looks cool even though I’ve never even touched it. 5/5  
I don’t like this yoyo’s name. 1/5

The problem with this is rating is all preferences. It is not like a window cleaner that either works or doesn’t. Almost every throw on this site has a little paragraph describing little nuances that detail x from y. The forum serves its purpose in this regard.

People tend to only leave a review when they either hated the product or loved it. Because of this, the ratings on the page wouldn’t accurately reflect how most people feel about the yoyo.

Plus, because there would be no way to verify that the person leaving a review actually had the yoyo, the results wouldn’t really mean anything.
