dooyoo CrownsNewest Review: ... and am always genuinely surprised at the choice when I receive a new one. Its best not to chase or expect crowns, because you'll only be disappointed. According to the Dooyoo team, there is no "Magic formula" but still, its hard to tell exactly what Dooyoo are looking for, as apart from looking at recent crowns, very few guidelines are given. I once complained to the Dooyoo team ... more |

Dooyoo crowns are 1500mile awards for what the Dooyoo team claim are premium reviews of particularly high quality. You only need to check the "New Reviews" section of the site to see just how many are churned out by so many users per day. As a result, Dooyoo crowns to me, appear to be something of a random draw. So often now have I noticed reviews of superb quality passed over for crowns in favour much worse ones. In my opinion, I have far, far better reviews than the ones I have received crowns for, and am always genuinely surprised at the choice when I receive a new one. Its best not to chase or expect crowns, because you'll only be ... Read the complete review

There's no denying that a crowned review is usually very useful and written to a high standard. When I first started submitting reviews on dooyoo I tried my best to get a crown. There's nothing better than having a nice shiny crown next to a review. Unfortunately to obtain a crown requires a lot of effort yet little is given as a reward. Not only does one have to know the product inside out, one has to do a bit of research and check every bit of punctuation and grammer. For every crown I obtained it took about four hours, the equivalent time to write up and University assignment, yet with the reward of a measly £1.50. I'm generally surprised how generous some ...

The crown system is a great idea, but in my opinion its one that seems pretty badly executed. Having discussed it with a number of friends who all use the site, we agreed that the awarding of crowns seems to be largely random, rather than based on nominations, creative ability or depth of review- it seems as if anything of a reasonable word length that looks reasonably accurate and well written will be considered, with awards appearing to be chosen largely at random. Granted, I am far from one of the best reviewers on this site, and there are plenty who are far more deserving of crowns than me, but whilst a couple of my reviews have been crowned these are ...

It would seem to be customary that when one reaches a Dooyoo milestone that said occasion should be celebrated with a review about something related to Dooyoo. For my 600th review, I was going to be totally unconventional and review something like a foot cream or a castle in Wales, but then I got a headache and decided instead to revert to type. So here you go - a thoroughly conventional Dooyoo opinion for my 600th Dooyoo anniversary. I like the crown system here on Dooyoo, if for no other reason than to bear witness to the endless rantings across the site about how biased and unfair it is. It's amazing how, when given half the chance, so many writers will ... Read the complete review

To the majority of people reading this, this review is quite clearly crown worthy!! In fact, by the time you have read it, it would have ticked all the boxes, and filled you with inspiration. You will have found this review informative, humorous , entertaining, and dare I say excellently written! Also it will most probably, no, definately inspire lots of you to write (or attempt to write) an equally crown worthy review. (I typed that with a straight face! Honest!) HOWEVER like hundreds of other reviews fitting this bill, this review will most likely (read definately) NOT be awarded a crown. So what is this utter madness ... Read the complete review
