    my idea would be along the lines of a web host comes they add their name then people who have used them vote and say how good/bad they are and stuff. what you think?

    yea..great idea but the problem is that you could run afoul of tort law and be liable for libel, slander or both if you start posting sites like that.

    what they do is SOOOO unethical but they think that the end justifies the means.

    personally...i like the idea but you'd have to have a lawyer looking over your shoulder at every step of design to make sure no one could sue you.
