Or a testimonial category with a simple tick box for Positive or negative.

the tick is a much better idea

Reading the posts in Testimonials and Rants and Raves, I'm obviously not alone in being unclear as to what these sub-forum titles are supposed to mean.

A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have evolved from a simpler system that worked just fine

My vision for the Community site redesign sees rants, raves and testimonials being removed. I don't like the names and I feel that they are often misued, or posts placed in the wrong areas.
I see all of the above being ideally placed within the relevant section in the forum category - a complaint about a fault can go into the Faults section, or something wanting to say how great their home phone service ahs been, can post in the home phone forum.
The fewer forums we have, the simpler it is for all.

If you can find a mod that does what you have in mind I'm sure PN would consider adding it.

Not for me thanks!
It gets the forum into the murky world of PayPal e-commerce. I believe the MODS have enough work to do without adding potential PayPal disputes to the list

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

When I look at some of the mods that are listed there's one main question that springs to mind: Why?!!!

Looks like a sensible addition.

@MauriceC: I was only joking, and I know what you mean, it would be a whole new ball game, especially stopping the system getting abused .
