dooyoo Crowns Reviews

If you have been on dooyoo for long, you will doubtless have heard talk about a conspiracy, cartel or monopoly on crowns. Is the crown system fair? Does everyone stand an equal shot? And most importantly, do guides really get more crowns? Well, first I think I should mention what crowns are, for any new members. Crowns add a ...  Read the complete review

I will start by saying openly that yes, for the first time, I am more than a little annoyed that I haven't recieved a crown this week. Yes I fell into the worst of holes, I wrote 3 reviews, all of which I am incredibly proud of and started to believe that at least one of them would have granted me a little gold hat. It's my ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  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. ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  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, ...  Read the complete review

I am new to this whole process but from reading other peoples reviews it has helped me to understand what people are looking for, the information that they require to make a valued opinion of the product you are infoming them about. The crowing system is brilliant that people who are writing valuing reviews are getting ...  Read the complete review

I have been a member of Dooyoo for a few months now, and whilst I haven't acquired the tens or possibly even hundreds of crowns that some reviewers have, I do have five of my very own shiny headpieces, and so I thought it was probably about time I wrote a review on the crowning system. Regular writers on Dooyoo will probably ...  Read the complete review

The moment has finally come; I am now the proud owner of not one crown but two shiny crowns. I am still really enthusiastic and excited after receiving these quite recently which is why I thought it was best to write this review now. My writing experience from Dooyoo has taught me that my best reviews are written when I feel this way. ...  Read the complete review

I thought only right I should write about 'crowns' once I had received at least one. I started life on Dooyoo in January 2009 to try and make a few extra pennies. I aimed to put as much as I could into these reviews and make them as interesting as possible. As I read more reviews, mine got better, you will see from the barely rated ...  Read the complete review

When I first joined Dooyoo it seemed that I'd never get a crown, admittedly my reviews fell short of the standard required but I still felt cheated when week after week my 'Crowned Reviews' statistic stayed firmly at zero. Over time I learned how to put a review together and slowly but surely the crowns began to arrive, while they have ...  Read the complete review

Quote from the Dooyoo help page on Writing and Rating: "A Crowned Review is an exceptionally well-written review that has been awarded a Crown. For a review to be awarded a Crown it must be helpful. It should provide all the information required for a consumer to make an informed purchasing decision, it's insightful, full ...  Read the complete review

The Crown System is such a simple and well-implemented one that it has remained one of my major reasons for keeping dooyoo as my number one review site for over four years. Dooyoo crowns are a source of contention for many dooyooers but I really don't see why. Let us look at how the system is implemented as described in ...  Read the complete review

Having won my first crown a couple of days back I think I can give a fair opinion on this slightly controversial subject. I am not sure what people will think about my opinion on this topic but keep in mind that this is just my opinion and how I feel about it, so there is no wrong or right answer. I remember when I first ...  Read the complete review

Who ever came up with the idea of a Dooyoo Crown was a genius. They are brilliant way to single out the best of the best when it comes to reviews. I havent recieved one yet, and therefore I need to improve on my reviews, but like everyone else here, I am hoping for one in the future. On Dooyoo, a Crown has to be the equalient to an Oscar ...  Read the complete review

I have been on this site for near enough a month now, and I can say that I am already addicted, but one of my main gripes is the crown system. It is not a huge one, as I have recently gained my first, and as such I am ecstatic at seeing that extra £1.50 in my account, but as with many of the other reviews beforehand, I often wonder why I ...  Read the complete review

I have not yet been nominated for a crown and I do wonder if that moment will ever come. Here are some of my thoughts on how get the nomination and the crown for your review: * Write from the heart. Try to avoid reading other peoples reviews before writing your review as this might shape or influence your review * ...  Read the complete review

I was in two minds as to whether to put this in the 'frustrations with Dooyoo' category or this one. My main frustration with Dooyoo at the moment is with the crowns so I decided on this little category! It's not often that I have a rant and I am a very patient person but I have been getting a little disheartened lately! I ...  Read the complete review

First of all, I have to say that dooyoo is fast becoming my favourite site. I seem to spend a ridiculous amount of time on here, enjoying myself, sure, and reading reviews on things I never even knew existed, reading trusted friends' reviews, strangers' reviews, etc, responding to questions, rating and writing, and I love ...  Read the complete review
