Can you trust forum reviews?




Reviews on forums may not all be trusted.

The reason for this: Forums are sometimes made up by business owners to make a bad reputation to competitors.

It is the case in many industries and there is no such thing as independant opinion even in the fashion industry.

A good example of this is the review of Ellen Clothing Manufacturer by T-shirtforums.com

T-shirtforums is associated to US clothing manufacturers and they are very keen on putting together bad comments about Asian competitors.

Can these US apparel manufacturers provide their market with high quality clothes at the same price than their Asian counterparts? No, they can't. But they still need to eat so they end up doing things ethically discutable.
