Gundog Central Update

Posted 07/04/2024

We’re making changes to the Top Kennels and Breeder awards program on Gundog Central for 2024. In the past, these awards we based on the number of ads you placed, how often you were active on the site and whether you had any bad reviews post during the year. We’re changing our algorithm to incorporate the number of positive reviews posted during the year as the primary metric. To be eligible for the award this year, you must have an active Kennel Account or a Breeder Account, you must have placed an ad on Gundog Central during the year and you must have at least one client submitted positive testimonial on the site during the year. Previously we awarded a badge that could be displayed on your Gundog Central profile, this year you’re sending out real trophies/ plaques that can be displayed at place of business. This is not a participation award, only a few trophies will be awarded. You can increase your chances of winning this year’s award by encouraging your clients to submit a testimonial for your kennel on Gundog Central.

Summertime is the slowest time of the year here at Gundog Central, which makes it an a pretty good time to update the site and mark some things off my to do list. The focus of this update was really to target the spammers and scammers I've seen on the site lately. I've long had a review process in place to help me fight off this kind of behavior, but as the popularity of the site has grown, so to has the number of people we have trying to take advantage of other people. As a result, I now generally try to verify as many new accounts as I can, however this take me a considerable amount of time and can delay the approval process. Occasionally, some of these nefarious people will slip through the cracks and go unnoticed until they eventually post something to the site. When I see those ads or suspect an account of being fake, I normally just delete their data and suspend their account without question. I don't always get it right though ... and have, on occasion deleted a few legitimate accounts in the process. With this update, I'm hoping it helps give you the ability to help me police the site and warn other users of any suspicious activity or bad experiences you have. As with any update, a lot of changes have taken place and I'm sure to have broken some things and stuff. For that, I'll apologize in advance, but please, if you see something that doesn't work as expected, let me know, by email or in the forums, and I can promptly get that fixed for you. With that said, here is a list of the most recent changes.
